- Device was big so could not be accommodated into the intended are of a conventional bathroom.
- Arduino was set to operate cycle for 1 hour.
- In first trial, 12 used napkins were kept in the waste chamber.
- In the first cycle of 1 hour, the waste content was not completely incinerated.
- Some smoke was observed and smoke smell was irritating.
- A second cycle was done with the same semi-decomposed contents.
- In the second run some sparking noise was heard sometime half-way into the cycle.
- The device was switched off after the apparent completion of the cycle and contents were found to be satisfactorily converted into ash.
- When i went there to take another trial in front of myself it was observed that the fuse was blown in the second trial, which was replaced. Further trying revealed that the coil was also disconnected.
Conclusion: V1 worked but A) coil did not last B) It took more than 1 run to completely burn the napkins. C) Smoke was observed.
