install and learn labview

Week 5....

Objective :

(i) To study how to use LabVIEW

(ii) To study the performance of the device 

(iii) To test the LabVIEW 

Method :

(i) First, I have to install the LabVIEW software in my computer (window XP is applicable)

(ii) Then, I have to setup the hardware to make sure it can match with this system.

(iii) Follow the instruction inside.

Result : 

 

As a conclusion, for this week, I have uploaded the LabVIEW in my laptop. So that, I can learn and started using this software for my FYP. I also get guidance from BMI technician which is Mr. Azman Alias. He will teach me how to use this software more details. I also take an initiative to search by my self at youtube how the connection. http://www.youtube.com/user/Labview# . Figure above shown above is the preview and sample of the LabBIEW. I really hope that my FYP will improve week by week. In Shaa Allah :)

mechanical project progress

WEEK 4
This week I have been  mechanical work for RSA project.After 3 day working  for this project  as cutting and welding to make spring prototype for  replacing absorber  vehicles.I  was replace the spring vehicle to spring mixer  food (eggs) ,this case to make the reading process easy  when analyzing RSA project soon.there are  some problems such as searching for suitable iron and place.This project are mostly  50% done and the process will continue in the next step.for the rack method I using bicycle chain to moved the pinion(freewheel).

analysis about my electromagnetisem

For this weak i have done my part about how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to produce an electromotive force (EMF). It is the fundamental operating principle of transformers, inductors, and many types of electrical motors and generators. Figure 1 shows the animation of the Faraday’s Law.

This is my circuit four testing the electromotive force (EMF) ouput.Function as converter to change ac output to dc...

                        this is my motor using the magnet 

rack and pinion

       The rack is attached to the outer tube of the shock absorber. As the outer tube of the shock absorber moves up and down it give a reciprocatory motion to the rack which in turn rotates the pinion.Then the pinion is coupled to the alternator which in turn rotates it and produces electricity.

battery charger

On 27th January 2013, I already bought my equipment at Jalan Pasar which is solar charger and battery.  Like I have been suggested by my advisor, Sir Basri, I bought the solar charger which 1Ampere in current and 12V in voltage. I match it with the 12V/2.6A battery. The technician said it suite as long as the solar charger can have atleast 13V input (it will be proven later after next experiment on battery). 

Figure 1 shown the solar charger is charging and for figure 2 discharge. As shown in Figure , I also have made some experiment to test the solar charger and the battery either it can perform or not. It proven that both of my equipment running well. It can turns on the lamp with 0.12A. 

Now, I have complete the 3rd stage in my experiment. After this, my advisor suggest me to do another experiment on battery. First, to know how much the solar charger needs (input voltage) to charges the battery. Another one is, try to reduce the voltage of the battery from 12V to maybe 11V and observe the capacity of the battery. Either the battery can charge by the solar charger or not.

Eventhough I have face some problem to construct the circuit at first sight, but with the help of my advisor, BMI's technician and friend, I have solve the entire problem. I really hope my project can finish before the dateline. Hope all is well :)

                                                                           figure 1

figure 2

As a conclusion, before I charges the battery, the capacity of the battery is 12.66V (Figure 1). After I discharge by using lamp and motor in Figure 2, the capacity of the battery is decreasing until 12.60V. It shows that the battery will started reduce but only a little bit. After I recharge the battery, within 60 seconds it rises rapidly as much 13.07V. For the first sight, I wondering why the solar charger is keep charging even though the battery is full enough ? But after discussion with my advisor, he explain that our solar charger (SC1201L) using is stop charging at 14.4V and it is stop discharge at 10.4V. That is mean the battery cannot supply the load if the capacity is less than 10.4V. Overall, my project is still on track and hopefully all is well :)

equipment operation

WEEK 3 - On 27th January 2013, I already bought my equipment at Jalan Pasar which is solar charger and battery.  Like I have been suggested by my advisor, Sir Basri, I bought the solar charger which 1Ampere in current and 12V in voltage. I match it with the 12V/2.6A battery. The technician said it suite as long as the solar charger can have atleast 13V input (it will be proven later after next experiment on battery).
            my adviser advise me to focus about the big of motor to make sure the absober should be conducted as a suspancion.The big  motor can given more good result.i also make a analysis about some rack and pinion.

week 2...2013

        For this week, week 2, I have bought the equipment that I need in my project. By this week also, I will shown it to my advisor,Sir Basri to verified it. The equipment is correct.

        Besides that, I have to find another equipment to complete my project which is charger controller, rectifier circuit and battery. After discussion with my supervisor, he suggest that I should buy charger controller with have current is 1Ampere where it cost RM60. And the battery needed is 12V with 2.6Ampere and it cost average RM50. 

     Furthermore, I also have to check that charger controller that I wanted to buy is matching with the battery. Otherwise, it cannot perform smoothly. For precaution, I have to make sure I will buy correctly by asking the technician of the shop.

     In addition, for the rectifier circuit, the diodes use is depends on the input which mean the photovoltaic itself and also the thermoelectric. This is why data sheet is important. Overall, my project will starting by this week and hopefully everything is in track.
