MINI AIR COOLER MADE FROM PLASTIC BOTTLES
RESEARCH PLAN

A. RATIONALE

Electricity is a form of energy that is carried through wires and is used to operate machines, lights,

etc. This means that we need electricity for our everyday life, for us to work easily, for us to be

entertained and to bring us comfort. Electricity is very important but sometimes we experience

low voltages or usually brownout or blackout. People here in El Nido is currently facing this

problems.

Plastics are one of the most common and known material in our daily lives. Regarding about the

improper waste disposal problems, the amount percentage of plastic waste are abundant than the

others. So the researchers come up with the idea to why not take advantage of these plastics than

disposing them.

The researchers decided to make an improvised mini air cooler made from plastic bottles. This

mini air cooler is not just environmental friendly but can also be use even without electricity. In

this case, the mini air cooler is very convenient to use.

B. RESARCH QUESTIONS, HYPOTHESIS, ENGINNERING GOAL, EXPECTED

OUTCOOMES

This study was conducted to give convenience to the user. This can also decrease the electricity

fragment because this uses batteries instead of electricity. The researcher’s objectives are to save

money from buying expensive fans, to feel fresh and cool even without electricity and to

encourage others to use improvised materials.

This improvised mini cooler aims to answer the specific questions:

1. How is the improvised mini cooler differ to the commercial cooler in terms of:

 Cost

 Materials

 Quality

 Durability

2. How can the improvised mini cooler benefit the users?

3. How is the mini cooler effective in terms of:

 Cooling time

 Cooling quality

B. 1. HYPOTHESIS

There is no significant difference between the commercial cooler and the improvised mini

cooler.

B. 2. ENGINEERING GOALS

The researchers will make an improvised mini cooler made from plastic bottles which can be

used in El Nido, most especially when there’s no source of electricity. The methods of making it

involves planning, constructing, and pasting materials.

C.1. MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT

Dynamo epoxy

Wires switch

Batteries Ice cubes

Plastic bottles cutter

C. 2. METHODS

Gathering Measuring Designing

Assembling Connecting

Cutting Pasting

C. 3. COLLECTION OF MATERIALS

The MINI AIR COOLER is made up of plastic bottles, wires, dynamo and batteries. These

materials will be gathered by the researchers at M-8 hardware at brgy. Maligaya, El Nido,

Palawan or any available hardware.

C. 4. RISK, SAFETY AND PROPER WASTE DISPOSAL

 Careful handling is properly observed

 Researchers will use gloves, googles and other materials to protect them from any harm.
