Abstract
An oven is a heated enclosure for heating, baking or drying. An electric oven is a heating device used to heat materials to high temperature when electric current is passed through a high resistance heating element (coil or plate), while the gas ovens uses gas through the cast iron burner as a medium of heating, baking and drying, both electric and gas oven can find their application in many fields and area of discipline like factories, research institutes, school, medical outfits and general laboratory, but more widely used in food industries. In this research work we incorporate the two heating mechanism together in a single system, the gas and the electric heating medium, many components such as: diodes, resistors, transistors, etc. were combined to make a simple circuit which transcends current to the coil which in turns heat up a given enclosure of a cubical box (i.e. the oven chamber). Finally a heat and convenient heating devices which is electric and gas oven was obtained. Also the determination of the properties of various ferrous and non-ferrous materials, electrical installation is installed with maximum safety gadget in-case of hazards. The application of engineering measurement and quality control is assured in our design and fabrication.
