6 ~ 10 February 2012 (Week 4)

Title of Activity:

Project Progress.

ü  Purchased the project materials.

Objective:

Purchased the solar panel.

Purchased enamelled copper coils.

Purchased thermoelectric module (Peltier).

Content/Procedure:

For this week progress, the solar panel, enamelled copper coils and thermoelectric module (Peltier) have been purchased at Jalan Pasar.

At the same time, the component for the circuit also purchased together.

Measuring equipment and tools also have been purchased. 

Receipt  for Peltier and other tools

Receipt for Copper Coils

Receipt for Solar Panel

Result and Analysis:

            As a result, for this week there have showed some progress. The solar panel have been purchased, and the specification for this solar panel is:

ü  Max output power: 6W

ü  Max output voltage: 12V

ü  Max output current: 0.45A

ü  Dimension: 36x19x2cm

And for the enamelled copper coils, this material diameter is 0.32mm and those materials have been purchased a roll. And for the thermoelectric module (Peltier), this component converts the heat into electricity and the output maybe approximately around 10mV~50mV.

Conclusions:

            From this week, the main component has been purchased. The solar panel are the important part because this part should be able to combine with the solar charger controller circuit. And for the thermoelectric module (Peltier), this component can be tested to measure the output produce during the next week.
