ABSTRACT
For this real-time scenario we take one digital temperature sensor, interfaced
to a microcontroller of 8051 series to send live data to a remote location
anywhere in the world over internet.
It displays the data in real time chart form such as line type, bar type, pie type
etc. in any internet connected PC / Laptop either for viewing by self or by public.
The real time data is also seen at the sending end upon a LCD display interfaced
to the microcontroller.
The power supply consists of a step down transformer 230/12V, which steps
down the voltage to 12V AC. This is converted to DC using a Bridge rectifier and
it is then regulated to +5V using a voltage regulator 7805 which is required for the
operation of the microcontroller , 3.3 volt for the Wi-Fi unit and other components.

ABSTRACT
As the crime rate is going up, security system for vehicles is extremely essential.
In this proposed system if someone tries to steal the car, the microcontroller gets
an interrupt through a switch mechanism connected to the system and
commands the GSM modem to send an SMS.
The owner receives the SMS that his car is stolen. He can then send back an
SMS to the GSM modem to stop the engine. The GSM modem interfaced to the
microcontroller, receives the message, the output of which activates a
mechanism that disables the ignition of the vehicle resulting in stopping the
vehicle. The project uses a lamp to indicate the engine ON/OFF condition.
Thus, owner of the vehicle from anywhere can switch off ignition of his car. This
project can be further enhanced by integrating a GPS system, which will give
exact position of the vehicle in terms of its latitude and longitude. Further this data
can be sent to the owner via SMS who can enter this value on Google maps to
get the exact location of the vehicle.

4. Electricity Energy Reader Through Internet
ABSTRACT
For this innovative work we had taken a digital energy meter whose blinking
LED signal is interfaced to a microcontroller of 8051 family through a LDR. The
blinking LED flashes 3200 times for 1 unit.
The LDR sensor gives an interrupt each time the meter LED flashes to the
programmed micro controller. The microcontroller takes this reading and displays
it on an LCD duly interfaced to the microcontroller.
The reading of the energy meter is also sent to a GSM modem being fed
from the microcontroller via level shifter IC and RS232 link. The SIM used in the
modem being internet enabled transmits the data directly to a dedicated web
page for display anywhere in the world in multi-level graphical format.
The power supply consists of a step down transformer 230/12V, which steps
down the voltage to 12V AC. This is converted to DC using a Bridge rectifier and
it is then regulated to +5V using a voltage regulator 7805 which is required for the

ABSTRACT
As we can see in our rivers most of them has waste pollution, so our group
think how to reduce the waste in our rivers by having an automatic waste
catcher. By that, we can help a little bit to the community to reduce the causing
of flooding and to reduce the waste that going in the shores. The machine will
strain the river with stepper motor, and there is a space where the waste is going
to store. Well it works simple, but it really helps us.

To the future developers of this project, use a better cooling system for the
cold side of the TEG which uses less power consumption with a higher cooling
capacity. This is to make the temperature difference between the cold side
cooler and it can produced a higher power with less power losses. The design
assembly of the platform that can enhance a better heat transfer to the TEG. They
may also use a different type of TEG which is cheap, has a high heat capacity,
and higher power output. They may also design a circuit with minimal losses and
add additional four more TEG modules to get a higher power output.

Not being able to lock the main door, back door, bedroom door, and other
important doors of a residential house may happen from time to time. To avoid
this problem, a locking system should be applied to all the doors in order to ensure
locking of doors. Locking all the doors with the use of conventional locks or the
currently available electronic locks may be time-consuming especially if the
doors to be locked are distant from each other. In addition, having a bulk of keys
may add to the inconvenience especially if these keys were lost or misplaced.

ABSTRACT
The use of electricity is vital for daily human existence. Thus, there has been
a constant growth in finding alternative sources of electricity. In the Philippines
where there is more or less 6 months of rainy season, rainfall could be used as a
source of mechanical energy that will be converted into electricity. The aim of
this study is to develop a rainfall energy harvesting system during the onset of the
rainy season. The study examined the duration and intensity of rainfall when
charging the batteries of the system to produce and store electricity to light up
LED bulbs. This study covers the development and implementation of the
piezoelectricity energy harvesting device. A system prototype was developed
and was tested through different intensities of rain. Through experimental method
of gathering data, the researchers were able to differentiate system responses.
From the gathered data, the system was able to harvest energy through
piezoelectricity with the use of rainfall.

ABSTRACT
Tricycles are widely used all around the Philippines and emit different kinds
of energy and cause various environmental issues. These tricycles produce
vibration energy which is wasted but instead can be harvested to be used for
other purposes. Vibration energy is one of the forms of energy that can be
harvested in moving vehicles like tricycles. The shock absorber attached to the
motorcycle and its sidecar can be a source of this energy. As the tricycle travels
along the road, the shock absorber absorbs and dissipates energy, it also reduces
the effect of traveling over rough ground, leading to improved ride quality, and
increase in comfort due to substantially reduced amplitude of disturbances while
the sidecar vibrates due to the condition of the roads. The vibration from shock
absorber and from its sidecar can be converted into electrical energy that will
serve as an additional energy source for electric and hybrid vehicles.
Piezoelectric sensors are devices that use piezoelectric effect to measure
pressure, acceleration, strain or force by converting them to an electrical charge.
The piezoelectric effect is an effect in which energy is converted between
mechanical and electrical form.
This study is on how to determine the amount of the vibration energy from
a tricycle and use this as an additional source of energy. The main component of
the prototype is the circuit design that will have piezoelectric sensors and
microcontroller.

The design of the whole system be improved to make the monitoring system
of the vibrations in the tricycle more efficient. This can be done by changing the
type of piezoelectric transducer that is used. In order to improve voltage, this
project suggests that more sensors should be placed on the seats of the tricycle
and to consider other places in the tricycle for the sensor placement. The program
that was used can be improved and be further developed and that additional
components that can improve the voltage quality should be included. Also, study
other means of transportation such us jeepney and other vehicles and to study
the effects of the weight of the passengers to the vibrations inside the vehicle.
