WEEK 19

Title: Find The Electronic Components.

Objective: To Assemble The Circuit and Test It.

Content/Procedure:
This week, went to Jalan Pasar to buy several components like diode, capacitor, resistor wires and etc.

Result: Figure below show the sample for several components that I buy at Jalan Pasar.


Diode: A diode bridge is a device that changes alternating current(AC) from windbelt to Direct Current(DC) to batterry.
Capacitor: A capacitor is a passive two-terminal electrical component used to store energy electrostatically in an electric field.




Wires: I use several type of wires to make the connection for each components for my project.



Multimeter: To measure the current and voltage output produced by the vibration of the windbelt.



Conclusion: Hopefully, the components that I buy at Jalan Pasar will be function when it be to assemble together.

WEEK 18

Title: Project Sketching.

Objective: To Get the Best Project Design.

Content/Procedure:
Before to build the hardware for this project, I was made the first sketch for this project for wire connections, windbelt base, coils winding and other equipment that it can placed in a suitable position so that the project can functionally well.

Result:

Figure below show the project has been sketched and the wire connection in parallel to get the high current.



WEEK 17

Title: Simulate AC/DC Converter Circuit.

Objective: To estimate the input and output needed.


Content/Procedure:

Here is the circuit diagram of a  AC/DC converter. Before it use in my project, it should be simulate to determine that circuit function or not. The software to simulate this circuit is 'Multisim'.


Result: There are several result after simulation by using Multism Software.







Conclusion: 

Based on the results above, the circuit is functionally very well and it suitable in my project. The DC meter show the output value 15.402VDC. So, it prove this circuit can convert from 12VAC to 15VDC.
