WEEK 14


Title of the project : Presentation during Engineering day


After day after day, week after week, month after month, after two semesters working for this final year project, this week is the last week before the project is presented at Gemilang Hall UNIKL BMI. The assessors for my project is Sir Azman and Sir Izwan

WEEK 13


Title of the project : Preparing the poster for presentation of Engineering day

        Before the Engineering day, the poster of presentation need to be prepared to give more easier to presenter to explain the project The poster should consist project description, objective, block diagram, methodology, result, and conclusion. During the presentation, student will have to explain all about the project by referring at the poster that already made. That is the use of the poster. Figure below shows my poster that will be used during the presentation day.

WEEK 12


Title: Finishing the project


                The overall circuits that have be constructed before this need to compile in the hardware to complete the project. Figure below show the overall view of the project:

WEEK 11


 Title of the activity: Tabulating the result in the table   



            The results from the experiment for wind turbine and piezo film was record and tabulated in table. From the table it will be done in graph,  The output voltage that have be record will be proceed to do the analysis.

Table below shows the data from the experiment.

WEEK 10


Title:  Designing the casing of the project.

                This week I working on the selecting the material for the base and also the box to place all the circuit, battery and sources for the project. For avoiding problems occur when placing heavy wind turbine and large solar panel, L steel will be used to build the frame and thin layer of plywood to cover the L steel frame in this project. L steel will be cutting according to measurement by using grinder and for plywood saw will be used.For combine the L steel bolt and nut will be used. To touch up the project, lastly it will be spray with black color. Below is figure of material that be used:

WEEK 9



Title:  Source storage
                For source storage, I will be used A rechargeable battery, storage battery, or accumulator is a type of electrical battery. It comprises one or more electrochemical cells, and is a type of energy accumulator. It is known as a secondary cell because its electrochemical reactions are electrically reversible. Rechargeable batteries come in many different shapes and sizes, ranging from button cells to megawatt systems connected to stabilize an electrical distribution network. Several different combinations of chemicals are commonly used, including: lead–acid,nickel cadmium (NiCd), nickel metal hydride (NiMH), lithium ion (Li-ion), and lithium ion polymer (Li-ion polymer).
Rechargeable batteries have lower total cost of use and environmental impact than disposable batteries. Some rechargeable battery types are available in the same sizes as disposable types. Rechargeable batteries have higher initial cost, but can be recharged very cheaply and used many times.

WEEK 8



Title of activity: Design PCB board for charge controller circuit 


After the conformation on the circuit I start to design the circuit by using Dip trace software for the main circuit and for LCD circuit. After design I go to the printing shop to print the circuit layout to the transparent paper, after that I attach and stick the circuit layout on the transparent paper to the PCB board. Then I use iron to make the ink from the transparent paper stick to the PCB board.

After the ink properly sticks to the PCB board I need to check if any broken connection of the line circuit layout and need to repair by using marker. After satisfied with the connection I start to etching the PCB board. After etching I need to check the connection again to make sure no broken line and no connection are connect each other. After several of etching that satisfied me I start drill the hole by using driller to put the component on the circuit.
