Abstract: ABSTRACT SOLAR POWERED INTELLIGENT POPCORN MAKER WITH AUTONOMOUS HEATING CONTROL The present invention discloses a solar powered intelligent popcorn maker with autonomous heating control for energy-efficient and automated popcorn preparation. The system comprises a popcorn preparation chamber, a solar power generation module configured to convert solar energy into electrical energy, and an energy storage module for storing generated power. A heating assembly generates controlled thermal energy for popping popcorn kernels. A sensor module continuously monitors temperature, humidity, pressure, power availability, and kernel popping activity within the preparation chamber. An autonomous heating control unit dynamically regulates heating intensity, heating duration, and thermal distribution according to real-time sensor feedback and cooking conditions. The system further comprises a stirring and dispensing mechanism configured to uniformly agitate popcorn kernels and dispense prepared popcorn. A user interface module enables cooking-mode selection, temperature control, scheduling, and wireless remote monitoring. The invention improves popcorn quality, reduces energy consumption, minimizes overheating, and provides sustainable solar-powered cooking functionality suitable for residential, outdoor, and commercial applications.
