The 200W solar system was determined by load assessment, solar panel number determination, battery requirement and then inverter sizing. A complete solar panel rated at 200w was however purchased, together with 2 no. 150A solar battery, 1500W inverter and also 10A charge controller. These were assembled together with necessary protective gadgets like cut out switches; to give the 200W expected. The solar panel was mounted outside the b […]

INTRODUCTION 1.1 THE BACKGROUND Welding is a way of heating pieces of metal using electricity or a flame so that they melt and stick together. It can simply be defined as the process of joining two or more pieces of metal to make the act as a single piece. This is often done by melting the work pieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material that cools to become a strong joint. Because of its strength, welding is […]

This project is titled the design and construction of a DC to AC inverter system. It is designed to meet up with the power demand in the offices and in homes in the absence of power supply from the national supply authority, NEPA. In order words the device / item serves as a substitute for NEPA which almost monopolises the power supply to people. It is designed in such a way that it will take up 12v DC from battery and inverts it to an […]

A 1.25KVA (2000W) inverter generator was designed, constructed and certified Ok. In this project, the design of the inverter generator is aimed at satisfying the need of converting, a D.C source of supply (12v battery) to an A.C voltage of 220v. The inverter range of output is between 200-220v. Since the inverter was designed to step-up voltage, the power transformer is being used as step-down transformer for charging and as step-up tr […]

Cell phones need electric sources to charge their batteries in order to work, but there are people in developing and third world countries that find it hard to access electric sources. In an attempt to provide an alternative means of charging to those unfortunate areas in third world and developing countries, a solar powered cell phone charging booth is to be designed and constructed in this project. The goal of this project is to cre […]
