Mini Windmill Power Generation Project Renewable energy is the wind beneath our turbine blades. Over the past few years, wind power has been among the fastest growing sources of energy in the world. Thus producing electricity with the use of renewable resource Wind energy has been taken up in this project. A Windmill, which rotates when there is enough wind, generates electricity owing to magnetic coupling between the rotating and stationary coil. A horizontally rotating prototype of Windmill is being used in this project. Mini Windmill Power Generation Project harnesses the Windmill i.e, Wind Turbine Generator to charge a 12V Battery. The System is based on Atmega328 microcontroller which smartly senses and charges the battery while displaying the voltage on the LCD. The Windmill, when in enough wind to drive it, generates power enough to charge a battery. Since it can work in favorable natural conditions by itself without consuming fossil fuel, it can charge the battery aut

Voice Controlled Lights using Raspberry Pi Voice controlled home application Today we are building a very useful project in which we can control the LED lights using our voice through Smart Phone. In this project, we will send voice commands from Smart Phone to Raspberry Pi using Bluetooth Module and Raspberry Pi will receive that transmitted signal wirelessly and will perform respective task over the hardware. We can replace the LEDs with the AC home appliances using relays and can build a Voice Controlled Home Automation Project. Components Used: ·          Raspberry Pi 3 (any model shall work) ·          Bluetooth Module HC-06 ·          Bread board ·          100 ohm Resistors (3) ·          LED’s (blue, red, green) ·          Connecting wire ·          Power Supply ·          Ethernet cable ·          Android Phone

Automated Portable Hammering Machine Hammering is the most widely used industrial as well as construction activity. Hammering or screws, metal sheets, parts etc requires a lot of time and effort. So here we propose an automated hammering system that allows for fully automatic hammering process. This allows for accurate, fast and automated hammering wherever and whenever needed using a 12V battery. The person just needs to insert workpeice and start the hammering machine. This machine can be used for automatic hammering work as and when needed. We here use a dc motor in order to move the hammer. The DC motor consists of a pulley attached to it which is connected to a larger pulley for efficient power transfer and to increase torque. This large pulley is connected to a shaft that has a connecting rod attached to it. This rod is used to achieve lateral motion from the spinning shaft. We now connect the other end of hammer to this connecting rod through a mid swinging arrangement i
