Final Design

For our final design, we combined all the information obtained from testing and

modeling our prototype and put it all on one system. The final design uses a

remote system, in order to increase stability. The design has a shroud that evenly

heats the food canister by capturing exhaust and channeling it up the walls of the

canister. The walls of the canister also have fins on them to conduct more heat transfer

to the food canister. The bottom of the food canister is also black with multiple

fins, so as to maximize radiant heat transfer. Below are SolidWorks modeling pictures.

The final prototype will have the hose and fuel canister that will pack up and fit into the

food canister to minimize the size when put into a backpack.

Final Prototype

Prototype Packed Up

The manufacturable final design will be made out of aluminum for a better thermal

conductivity as well as lighter in weight then the steel prototype we made. Below are photos

of our final working prototype that obtained all of the specifications and met the requirements

we set for this project.
