Microcontroller based automate controller is a project design of a system that is used in operating a gate automatically. The system opens the gate automatically when a human being or car is about to enter a compound or exit a compound. The system works by sensing the light rays from the head lamp of the vehicle. The light ray is sensed... Continue Reading

This project shows the construction of a microcontroller based security door using smart card. It is aimed towards programming the microcontroller to control the hardware in sliding door. The system consists of a microcontroller 89S52 which sends a signal to the multiplexers on insertion of the smart card in the card slot. The... Continue Reading

An inverter is a system which is capable of converting DC voltage from a battery into AC voltage. The Inverter constructed converts 12V dc to 220V Ac. It consists of an oscillator section using 8V dc to produce 50Hz sine wave. The sine wave is amplified by Tip 41 and used to drive IRPF 250 MOSFET power transistors capable of delivering...

A vegetable oil is a triglyceride extracted from a plant. Such oils have been part of human culture for millennia. The term \'vegetable oil\' can be narrowly defined as referring only to substances that are liquid at room temperature, or broadly defined without regard to a substance\'s state of matter at a given temperature. For this... Continue Reading

Plants are important in our everyday existence. They provide our foods, produce the oxygen we breathe, and serve as raw materials for many industrial products such as clothes, foot wears and so many others. Plants also provide raw materials for our buildings and in the manufacture of biofuels, dyes, perfumes, pesticides, adsorbents and... Continue Reading

According to the modern or dynamical Theory of heat: Heat a form of energy. The molecules of a substance are in parallel motion. The mean Kinetic energy per molecules of the substance is proportional to its absolute temperature. In description of heat, a molecule may consist of one or two or many atom depending upon the nature of the gas.... Continue Reading

The project dealt on the production of yam flour from yam chips. The yams were peeled and washed, 100grams samples coded sample A to G were subjected to two different drying conditions. Some were dried using the sun drying method while the others were dried through oven drying method kept at constant temperature of 500C, sodium... Continue Reading
