Solar Panel Cleaning Robot

ABSTRACT The use of solar energy through photovoltaic systems has seen rapid growth in recent years due to its environmental benefits and cost-effectiveness. However, one of the main challenges that PV systems face is the accumulation of dust and debris on solar panels, which can significantly reduce their efficiency. To address this problem, we propose the design and development of a solar cell cleaning robot. This project aims to create an autonomous robot capable of cleaning solar panels e...

Severity of Cracks Growths on Static Design of a Three Bladed Savonius Wind Turbine Using SolidWorks Simulation

Abstract Modern vertical axis wind turbine is a promising technology, appropriate for small scale applications in urban areas and isolates sites for different uses. Including pumping water, producing electrical power, passive starting others turbines and purposes. The Savonius wind turbine is a robust and reliable mechanical device, easy to build, produces less noise. The formation and growths of cracks in this system reduces its stiffness and yield strength, which lead to a poor performance ...

A programmable tool-kit for a smart weather system using predictive analytics at the Botswana International University of Science and Technology

Abstract: This work presents a programmable toolkit that allows the design and implementation of a smart weather system(SWS) at a local level. The uPyCraft software development kit (SDK) was used to load the MicroPython code and scrap three weather values (surface temperature, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure) from the DHT11 and BME280 sensors connected to the ESP8266 microcontroller. The NetBeans SDK was used to develop the database management system using SQLite and Java programi...

Design and Construction of a Vehicle Tracking and Accident Alert System Using GPS and GSM Module

This project is about the Design and Construction of a Vehicle Tracking and  Accident Alert System (VTAA) using GPS and GSM Technology. It comprises of  integration between GPS receiver, microcontroller and GSM module, and of  course the push button for accident alert activation. The combination of all this  technology will produce our VTAA system. The GPS module receive the  coordinate of the point at which the system is located, controlled by the user using  command interfaces through...

Design of Automatic Plant Irrigation System Using Microcontroller

ABSTRACT Automatic plant irrigation system rise as a good choice and alternative to traditional irrigation methods since it is saving time and effort that are consumed by traditional methods where people are compelled to stop doing their important activities. The aim of this thesis is to develop a microcontroller-based automatic irrigation system. This system will run automatically by referring to the level of soil moisture. The humidity sensor type connected to the microcontroller is soil m...

ABSTRACT Robotic is an electromechanical system, help improve production accuracy, and reduces time and increase production. In this project a study of 3D robotic ARM design, simulation concepts and theories for the painting of cars that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots is conducted. The simulation covers different parameters to evaluate the design. Moreover simulation environment help to test these parameters cost effectiveness of building robots and ...

Cascaded PID Control System for UAV with Gain Factor Prediction Using ML

Drones are not inherently stable, necessitating the use of a flight controller. If the UAV is properly tuned, the drone will fly steadily; otherwise, it won't. Hence, we have used a PID (proportional, integral, differential) controller for a stable flight. A well-functioning PID controller should enable amazing climbs and long-range flights. But, when used singly, PID controllers can provide poor performance, resulting in a long settling time, overshoot, and oscillation. Here, we propose a ne...

Design Of The Heat Exchanger Using MATLAB Programme (Case Study Khartoum Refinery Company Ltd)

ABSTRACT A heat exchanger is a medium that transfers heat energy from a high temperature fluid to another low-temperature fluid without mixing the fluid together. Thermal exchange is one of the most important applications in many fields, such as food processing engineering, especially in the manufacture of materials that are highly sensitive to high temperatures, as well as difficult to heat or raise their temperature by direct methods and other materials. Heat exchangers are used in many en...

Invitro Evaluation Of Neem Tree Seed Oil Against Fungal Growth Of Fusarium Oxysporum. F. Sp. Lycopersici, The Causal Agent Of Tomato Wilt Disease.

Abstract Fusarium wilt considered as one of the most important diseases of tomato in Sudan. The present investigation was undertaken under laboratory conditions to study the effect of different neem oil concentrations, and synthetic fungicide,(AmistarTop 200ml/100L Water), on growth of the fungus Fusariumoxysporumf. sp. Lycopersicithe causal agent of wilt disease on tomato. Three concentrations of neem oil (1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 %) and fungicide as recommended dose were tested in addition to cont...

Design And Implementation Of Vehicles Accident Notification System

Abstract Ever since the invention of cars accident was introduced as a major cause of death and car manufactures has been developing new ways to prevent death by accident. Time is very important factor when it comes to saving a person’s life, any delay in detecting an accident or failing to locate its position life. The solution proposed by this thesis is to use a combination of collision detection unit and identify an accident and report it to the appropriate authorities and clear the roa...

This research is to provide conceptual design and implement optimum solution to the problems mentioned above by using the automation techniques (PLC tool) to devolve a first phase painting robot .Considering the use of sensors ( object sensors ,...

Speed Control Of DC Motor Using Proportional–Integral–Derivative Controller And Fuzzy Logic

Abstract Fuzzy control systems have been successfully applied to a wide variety of practical problems. It has been shown that these controllers may perform better than conventional controllers, especially when applied to processes difficult to model, with nonlinearities. On the other hand, the direct current (DC) motor has been widely used as well because it is one of the most common actuators used in control systems. The main objective of this research is to control the speed of DC motor us...
