WEEK 7 - Research On The Circuit


  • After done about 60% progression of mechanical's part, I think I should do more focus on my electrical's part.
  • Starting with do some research on the circuit that been needed for making an electrical's part.
  • From my research, to operate my project starting water flow for rotating turbine, then to the output 240V, it need 3 stage of circuit. 
  • 1st stage, from turbine, it will generate the motor to produce 12V of DC current, to charging the battery. At that stage, the circuit needed is 'Charging Controller Circuit'.
  • 2nd stage, from the 12V DC current output of battery, it need to convert to AC current. This stage, the 'Inverter Circuit' needed to convert DC-AC.
  • 3rd stage is about to increase the value of AC current to be an output of 240V. So it need the transformers.

WEEK 6 - Designing The Mechanical's Part


  • After done designed turbine in previous week, this week I focus to designing mechanical's part.
  • Mechanical's part included tank for water storage, turbine that being connected to motor thru spocket and chain.
Mechanical's Part Of Mini Hydroelectric Turbine.

WEEK 5 - Designing Turbine


  • One of the most important part in my project is turbine.
  • The rotation or turbine will generate the motor for produce the current.
  • the design of the turbine is base on the sample that I been research.
Pelton Turbine

  • Base on ideology of pelton turbine, i had designed turbine by my own way using hexagon block and spoon as a blade.
  • The turbine as shown in picture below.

WEEK 4 - Purchased Components (Mechanical's Part)


  • Looking for components at Jalan Pasar.
  • Components use is the important thing to make circuit or project operate.
  • Selection of main component should have in a market because some component needs to order from other company such as bearing type 'pillow block'. Only certain shops have it.
  • So by listing all the components used first will make easy to find and design the project

WEEK 3 - Research On The Components (Mechanical's Part)


  • Starting doing research on the components that being used in my project...
  • My project "Mini Hydroelectric Generator" is about how the water energy can produce an electricity.
  • So for build on my project, there's got 2 part, which is Mechanical's Part & Electrical's Part.
  • For this week, I need to focus on part of mechanical.
  • List of components:
  1. spoon
  2. aquarium tank
  3. 'L' aluminium
  4. sprocket (2 sizes)
  5. bearing (variety sizes)
  6. chain
  7. screw and nuts
  8. cylinder rod

WEEK 2 - FYP2 Briefing


  • This is a first briefing for S1'2013, which is all students (FYP1&2) has been briefed about the blog, date of presentation, and so on. 
  • For students FYP2, they have to proceed for their planning during in FYP1. 
  • All the planning have to come out with the hardware. 
  • The presentation will be on week 12 for FYP1 and week 14 for FYP2. 
  • As a result,the students have been exposed to the project planning.
  • The good planning will give a quality result in this project and it is very important. 
  • So all FYP2 students this should be done their project 100% before week 14.

FYP2: WEEK 1 - Starting Build Project


  • This year I continued my project under Final Year Porject 2 subject. 
  • I still under with same supervisor, Sir.Azuki Bin Abdul Salam to finalize my project and give some advice to making FYP2. 
  • Thus, for the first week of second final year project, I started to make some progress of building my project.
