Abstract The Bluetooth Specifications Group recently released a new version of Bluetooth, called Bluetooth Low Energy. It is ideal for battery-powered IoT devices that do not require continuous streaming of information because it is more power efficient and relays information in short bursts, rather than continuously. The asynchronous nature of... Continue Reading

Abstract The increasing demand for electricity in Ghana has led to concerns about energy conservation, to reduce the rising energy costs as well as the carbon emissions produced from energy generation. Popular energy conservation methods used in Ghana include turning off devices when not in use and using Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamps in place... Continue Reading

Abstract This research work examined and compares the physicochemical properties and some chemical constituents of selected energy drinks. Fourteen (14) brands of energy drinks samples consisting eleven (11) liquid and three (3) powdered forms were randomly purchased. All samples were analyzed for their physicochemical properties (pH, turbidity,... Continue Reading

Abstract The project proposed a method of reading individual energy consumption by tenants living in a compound house but share a single meter. The smart energy monitor was designed using ATmega8, SIM800l, PZEM004T, I2C LCD ,SCT-013-000 current sensor. The smart energy monitor solves the problem of bill sharing in compound house that share one... Continue Reading

Abstract In the off-grid communities in Ghana, most people depend on solar energy for electricity [1]. Some also depend on torch lights, candle lights or kerosene lamps to meet their lighting needs [2]. These lamps come with their own pros and cons. The solar lamps for instance, do not last for the entire night when in full usage though they are... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Electrochemical capacitors (ECs) or Super capacitors (SCs) are energy saving devices which have excellent properties that include high power density, long cycle life, low temperature sensitivity and low maintenance cost. However, these devices have lower energy densities than conventional batteries. To improve on its energy density, SnO2... Continue Reading

Abstrac t In this work, a 2.8kva alternator was coupled to a 4 H.P dc motor acting as a prime mover to produce a fuel-less generator. The coupling was done using two crankshaft pulleys to match the speed of the alternator to that of the dc motor. Two 24v dc... Continue Reading
