Invertor

This document provides information about Joseph Wanyeki and James Mwangi's science project on inverters for the 57th Kenya Science and Engineering Fair. The project was aimed at helping people in rural areas without access to electricity by developing a device to convert direct current to alternating current. It describes the background and motivation for the project, methodology used to build the inverter, data collected on its performance, and conclusions drawn.

ABSTRACT:
The project is aimed to help people in the rural areas
where there is no electricity or where it is hard to access
electricity .The device changes direct current to
alternating current.

3
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
We would wish to acknowledge God for giving us this
chance to be alive today. Second to our parents and also
to our teacher MS Thiongo who guided us in the
preparation for this fair .Last but not least to our
classmates for the moral support. May God bless them all.

CHAPTER ONE:
INTRODUCTION:
An inverter is a device that changes direct current to
alternating current. There are many types of inverter
which changes alternating current to direct current.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
When we had visited our grandparents back at upcountry,
there was a problem of phone charging due to lack of
electricity. And we thought of this idea.

OBJECTIVES:
To help the poor have electricity.
To minimize the cost of electricity bills.

RELEVANCE/SIGNIFICANCE
The setup helps people with no electricity.

5
LIMITATIONS:
Do not touch the output.
It is risky when the cables are not coated.

ASSUMPTIONS/PRECAUTIONS:
You need to be careful when holding it.
It’s so risky. May cause death to the volts coming out
through the output.

6
CHAPTER TWO:
LITERATURE REVIEW:
The first inverter was invented in Europe in 1976. It was
used to change alternating current to direct current. The
inverter was used in many countries as a current changer.

7
CHAPTER THREE:
METHODOLOGY:
APPARATUS:

-Transistors - Set
-Resistors - Solder gun
-Diode - Solder wire
-Cables -Charger
-Bulb -Transformer
-Battery
-Glue

8
PROCEDURE:
Join the transistor to the transformer.
Using a cable join the resistor to the transistor.
Add a resistor on the setup joined at the transformer.
Add a diode joined at the transformer.
Add a switch to the setup.
Lastly join the battery that shall produce the power.
Join a charger to the output that will make the battery
non-rechargerble.

OBSRVATIONS:
The bulb will light.

VARIABLES:
Power [voltage and current]

9
CHAPTER FOUR:
DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION:

10
DATA INTERPRETATION:
The high the volts produced by the battery the more the
volts produced by the DC output.
The stronger the transformer you use the more the volts it
will produce.

11
CHAPTER FIVE:
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION.
CONCLUSION:
This method of lighting a bulb is easier with a 3.7 volts
battery and cheaper.

RECOMMENDATION:
We would wish to do more research on this project and
make it perfect with the help of the government and our
school.
