Week 15

Project Sketch

For this week, I focus on the project sketch for my project. This to make sure that when the FYP2 started, I can do it straight away without waiting to make it. I also make the circuit diagram for the connection between voltage sensor, Arduino Uno, and the LCD for the able to read the value of voltage generated.

Sketch of project "Micro Power Generator in Water Pipe"

From figure above it shows the sketch of my product. It has 3 turbine in the water pipe. Each of the turbine will connected to a voltage sensor. Then the Arduino will read the voltage by the coding and display to LCD. The power generated then will flow to the power storage. I bet when the water flow into the water pipe, the water flow rate will decrease after moving to 1st and 2nd turbine. It will make the turbine generate low power due to the slower rotation of turbine. I will see the result in the future and change what need to make it rotate faster.

Week 14

Report Writing

After the presentation last week, I continue to writing my proposal report. This week I focus on writing the methodology and the preliminary result. In Methodology, there will be the flow chart, the block diagram, software and hardware used, the project sketch and gantt chart. From meeting with Dr. Reyasudin, I figured that I got error in my flowchart. Hence, I made a new flow chart and change with the older own. Figure below shows the flow chart, block diagram, and gantt chart.
