Hydrogen Sulfide Detection in Incubators

Christina Maria Debarberie
The average successful hatch rate of eggs in an in-home incubator is 70%. The eggs that fail to hatch pose a threat to the whole clutch due to hydrogen sulfide build up. Vigilant inspection for failed eggs is a time-consuming task that must be done throughout the incubation period. Using an embedded control system with a gas sensor to monitor the air inside the incubator and alert the user will solve that problem.
