Week 12

Component that will use

In this week, I focus on the others item that will be used in my project. Below shows the item that will be used in my project :

• Generator
• Arduino Uno R3
• Voltage Sensor
• Power Storage

Generator

The uses of generator is to convert kinetic energy to electrical energy hence generate electricity by the rotation of turbine in water pipe. For generator, I will use the generator of 12V/24V 30W permanent magnet with 6000rpm. This generator drive up smooth, with almost no noise. With the high value of rpm, it can generate large torque. The stator winding of the motor are made up by copper wire. Below shows the generator that will use :

12V/24V 30W generator (with 6000rpm)

Voltage Sensor
The primary function of the voltage sensor is to detect and measure the DC voltage from the generator. When the presence of voltage is detected, the sensors provide tan output in the form of analogue voltage signals, current level, frequency and modulated frequency outputs. Below shows the voltage sensor that will use :

Arduino Uno 

For the controller, I use the Arduino Uno in my project. The function of Arduino Uno is to display the value of voltage that being detect to LCD that be connected to the LCD. The board contains all sets of input and ouput digital and analog pins that can be used to interface with all the hardware used in this project. This Arduino Uno needed specific set of coding in order to run it perfectly. It will connected to the voltage sensor. Then the Arduino Uno will interface with the written coding and display the voltage to LCD. Figure below shows the Arduino Uno that will use :

Power Storage

The power generated from the generator will be stored in this power storage. The power storage made by lead acid battery which is rechargeable and has high capacity of stored charge. Below shows the lead acid battery that will use.

All the item that listed here will be combined to complete the project. There may be got exchange of item that will use depends on the situation of the project.
