ABSTRACT In the world today, the use of power supply in electronics equipment and gadgets has increased and it is still increasing. These power supplies are not stable as required by these electronics. This arise the need for the power stabilization as to overcome this problem This project handles this problem very well. Some recommendations were... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT An induction or asynchronous motor is a type of AC motor where power is supplied to the rotor by means of electromagnetic induction, rather than by slip rings and commutators as in slip-ring AC motors. Single phase induction motor is the most familiar of all electric motors & they are similar to a 3-phase squirrel cage induction motor. It... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT As the zeal for change over on public power supply and stand- by generator increases; Engineers have researched deeply into the different ways and methods of achieving power changeover both manual and automatic types. It may no be considered as serious issue in some places where supply is up to 90% constant or where intermittent outage... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT The Orsat Gas Analyzer was constructed at the project development institute (PRODA), Enugu. The operation involved the laboratory glass blowing which entails the heating of a glass tube. The heating •continues until the glass tube reaches its plastic state. The shape of the tube is changed or the required shape blown by pulling, bending... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT This project involves the development of a console that allows multiple inputs (3 inputs) and a single output to a screen through the use of software. The micro controller which serves as the ‘heart’ of the hardware was encoded using C programming language. These lines of code enable the micro controller to switch to the selected...

ABSTRACT Automatic water level controller for both overhead and underground tank is designed to monitor the level of water in a tank. It displays the level of water and when it is at the lowest level; a pump is activated automatically to refill the tank. When the tank is filled to its maximum capacity, the pump is automatically de-energized.... Continue Reading
The need for identification leads to the study of biometrics. Over the ages, human beings have been identified by various means, such as the Name, Complexion, Nationality, and even some uniquely assigned codes. Of all these methods, none can be used to uniquely identify an individual distinctly under all circumstances. However, research has shown... Continue Reading
The aim of this project is to shows the possibility of wireless power transfer through the design of a wireless charging pad. In this project write-up, the methodology and principle of operation is wireless power transfer through inductive couple, a feasible design is modelled accordingly. The inductive couple technique is used because it is the... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT Power interruption and failure does not promote development. Investors and private organization do not feel secure to establish a business in a country with constant or frequent power failure. Power interruption limits the development of industries, commerce, businesses and seriously effects the economic development of any nation. There... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT In our present society, wireless communication has become most prevalent and mobile units (hand held devices /GSM/ Computers) are one of the most common equipments for conveying messages wirelessly. Owing to the fact that most youths in our society today on the average make use of at least one wireless device that communicate with other... Continue Reading
Project The main aim of this system is to detect object that will be ahead of ultrasonic transducer. This application is very useful in areas like monitoring and also very useful in wild life photography. There are two main parts of the ultrasonic detector. First one is emitter that produces a 40kHz sound wave. Second... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT-Power system planning is a vast and important issue for operation and expansion of power delivery. One of the basic objectives of planning is to determine the right schedule for investment in new devices which ensures secure and economic power delivery for predicted customer demand. System planning also addresses the question of reliable... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT This project present a practical demonstration of how to carryout the wiring of a two bedroom bungalow, using PVC conduit system. In recent times surface wiring is gradually giving way to conduit wiring where much of the cable are concealed. PVC pipes are used because of it cost friendliness, compared to metal conduit. In carryout this... Continue Reading
Abstract In this project we designed a solar powered computer control system for electrical machines and spark ignition engines. It is made up of a hardware device that comprises of various electrical components which are powered by a 25W solar panel. The power cord of the machines are modified and connected to the hardware and the ... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT Nigeria is a country with a population of over 170 million; it is rightly the most populous country in Africa and the eighth most populous country in the world. According to the United Nations, one in six Africans is Nigerian. It is a regional power, listed among the “Next Eleven” economies, and a member of the Commonwealth of... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT The uninterrupted power supply (UPS) is design to help in the offices, workshops and house hold appliances, due to the unstable power supply being supplied by (NEPA) presently known as Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) usually supply to us. With the help of the UPS we don't need to depend much on PHCN it is stress free... Continue Reading
Abstract The aim of this work is to characterize properties and microstructure of stainless steel used as a coating on welding of carbon steel sheets. Two carbon steel plates were set as the metal base and the stainless steel coating was applied on the weld bead. The applied process used was the submerged arc welding (SAW) and tests were carried...
