Description

This system keeps on monitoring the vibrations of the earth caused at each & every single second of the day, in the case where the vibration of the earth crosses the threshold this system produces a signal, thereby alerting the public. When the earthquake takes place the signal is produced and the accelerometer is stimulated and the signal is conveyed all the way through the ADC to the Microcontroller. These signals are generated as soon as possible. Owing to the quick signal there is a possibility of false alarming.

But in this stimulation project, we bring into play 2 accelerometers located two to three meters away from each other. When the microcontroller receives the same signals from both of the accelerometers then it gives a message about the Earthquake information. When an alert is sensed about the earthquake by this system, it spreads these discrete earthquake intensity values to a central location by using GSM technology. This data is then exhibited on the LCD screens. At the same alert, the buzzer starts on buzzing.

This project is designed with an aim to get automatic control over the solar panel, which will result in getting complete sun rays from all directions. This is achieved by giving movement or rotational value to the solar panel. The sun rises in the east & sets in the west hence in an ordinary solar panel the sun rays collected is either from the east end or west end, so to overcome this a rotation power s given so that rays are collected from the east & west both.

The rotational power is given to the panel by using a stepper motor. 5 LDR’s are placed at the arch and depending on the LDR’s intensity the stepper motor will rotate. LDR’s intensity will be less where the sun’s intensity is more using this principle it will work.

In this project of the bi-directional power converter for the electric bike, we run a machine using a motor driver which is activated by the microcontroller. That machine is attached by one more motor. Owing to the combination the other motor take turns and produces back EMF. This back EMF produced is amplified and used to charge the battery.

Here a motor driver is used which is activated by the microcontroller. The attached motor moves when the primary motor moves so the production of back EMF is started whenever the machines move. The so produced back EMF is used to advance block where the boost block advances the back EMF to 12Volts and the battery is fed with the same.

To exhibit the voltages produced by the battery and back EMF, an LCD is employed. The battery voltage in addition to back EMF will be higher to provide it to the microcontroller so a voltage separator is employed which splits the voltage by 10 which will be more adequate to calculate.

Monitoring System of Garbage with IoT

At present, there are several methods are available to clean and improve the surroundings in our area. The government also initiated various movements to improve cleanliness. This project implements a system to inform the municipal corporations to clean the dust bin in time.

To overcome this problem, garbage monitoring is developed. In this project, a sensor is located at the top of the trash bin to notice the garbage filling to the owl size of the bin. Once the garbage is filled to the highest level, then immediately a notice will be sent to the municipality office, so that further action can be taken to clear the bin. So this project is very useful to clean the city in a better way in urban areas. By using this project, manual operation can be reduced because they will get a notification once the trash bin is filled.

Wireless Monitoring System for Mine Safety

This project is used to implement a system to overcome the drawbacks of the radio system by using wireless technology to track the mine. For this, each person is equipped with an RF Tx module while entering a mine. Every transceiver which is located within the mine looks after the miner’s location.
The transceivers in this system use a wireless module to interact with base stations.

This system uses different sensors like humidity, temperature to intimate the miners and base station when the change within the atmosphere occurs. The real-time positions of each minor can be monitored through the mine operators in an emergency. These systems are versatile, high reliable, less cost, and uses less power.

Battery Management System using UPS & GSM

This project is used to give the backup power to companies, industries once the main supply is turned OFF or not working. By providing the backup supply to the organizations, the services provided by the corporate cannot be stopped. This system uses two transformers one is for the main power supply whereas the other one is UPS. If a person wants to use the UPS supply then he has to send an SMS to the GSM modem.

Once the modem gets SMS from the person to change the connection of the power supply then it gives an alert to the microcontroller to connect the UPS and detach the main power supply with the help of the control circuit using a relay.

By using this project, the power interrupts occurred by the main supply can be avoided. If the main supply is not available then we can use the secondary supply by intimating to the microcontroller.
