Composter

A prototype 2 stage composter for apartments. Used for recycling kitchen waste, both vegetarian and non vegetarian. The user deposits kitchen waste into top chamber. A motorozied stirrer churns the waste thereby letting oxygen in and speeding up the decaying process. After each day the volume of the food inside chamber one reduces due to loss of fluids. After a few days a door at the bottom of chamber one opens thereby moving first chamber's food into chamber two. Again a stirrer churns the waste speeding up the decaying. Completely decayed food is collection below chamber two in a tray. Having lost all liquids and gases the waste now has the sweet smell of earth. 
Faced a lot of challenges in stirring large sized food. Chopping was required. Had control an for varying stirring time and number of days to door opening.
