PROJECT REVIEW

PROJECT REVIEW- I
 PROJECT TITLE: AUTOMATIC SENSING WIPER
                                                                                                DATE:
PROJECT MEMBERS:

Ø      B.VINOTH KUMAR(54) (LEADER)
Ø      M.ANANDHA NARAYANAN(56)
Ø      V.ANBARASAN(57)
Ø      G.GOPI(08)
Ø      N.K.SUSHANTH(49)
Ø      R.VIJAY(53)

GUIDED BY

                        A.PERIA SAMY M.E


COMPONENTS REQUIRED:

Ø      WINDSHIELD (CAR)
Ø      WIPER BLADES
Ø      WIPER MOTOR&LINK (12V)
Ø      BATTERY (12V)
Ø      TYPES OF SENSORS AVAILABLE

OPTICAL SENSOR:

Ø      Optical sensor emits a ray which will be reflected by the windshield at 450 at normal conditions.
Ø      During raining if the amount of water in windshield is more the light reflected at an angle which will increase the speed of wiper motor to avoid the lesser visibility of driver.
Ø      If the amount of water is less it will reflect an angle which will decrease the speed of wiper motor to avoid the scratching of wind shield.

RAIN SENSOR:

Ø      It triggers the wiper motor when it senses rain.
Ø      It controls the speed of the motor by the amount of water collected in the ‘V’ shaped cup like arrangement in the sensor.
Ø      There is a cock under it for the continuous discharge of rain water.

                         TOUCH PLATE:

Ø      It only senses the water presence in the plate. It only triggers the wiper motor not control the speed.



           FLOW METER:

Ø      It will also trigger the motor when it sense the rain, control the speed by the rate at which the rain water flow.

Ø      ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

It is used to connect the circuit such as wires, clips etc,



PROJECT STUDY:

ü      As the first step of our project we gathered some videos and pictures how the actual wiper mechanism works.
ü      We tried to found is there any cars which had this feature of automatic sensing wiper. We found that it is implemented in only one car (BMW)
ü      That car is only under testing.
ü      We searched what kind of improvement that can be implemented in our project.
ü      For example:
§         Positioning of wiper blades which will be more efficient.
§         Using sensors which will also give automatic speed control which is a new idea not implemented in any other automotives. It will increase our project value.


PROJECT STATUS:
           
ü      We gave amount Rs.200/- as an advance to buy Wind shield of MARUTI 800 with sheet metal body (not includes dashboard) for our project.

Address:
 105, South Cooum River Road,
                         Pudupet,
                         Chennai- 600002.
                         Ph.No: 044-28521825

ü      We also searched for the availability of other components also knew what different rates they are available.
ü      W selected the prices which will suit our project cost.
ü      According to that we plan to buy
Ø      Wiper blade = Rs.80/-
Ø      Battery(12V) = Rs.200/-
Ø      Wiper motor (12V) + link = Rs.600/-

Address:

                        No: 65, Singana Cheety Street,
                        Chintadripet,
                        Chennai – 600002.

ü      SENSOR:

Ø      Optical sensor – Rs.8000/-
                                   
Only in USA not in India.

Ø      Rain sensor – Rs.2500/-

Address:
                  BOSCH products co,
                  G.P Road.

Ø      Touch plate – Rs.500/-

Address:
                  Ajanta Electronics,
                                    No: 05, Athipattan Street,
                                    Mount road,
                                    Chennai – 600002.





Ø      Flow meter – Rs.2900/-

Address:
                                    No: 10, Athipattan Street,
                                    Mount road,
                                    Chennai – 600002.

TECHNICAL STUDY:

Ø      To gain some technical knowledge and technical assistance to do our project on our own effort we contacted some auto electrical workers.

Ø      We also asked about the idea implementing the project in a car after it is tested on the table.


PREPLANS FOR NEXT PROJECT REVIEW;


Ø      First to buy sensor, this is very important for our project and rest of the components required.
Ø      Assembling the components as per the circuit diagram and to run a trial.
Ø      After it works successfully implementing it in a car.


SO FAR MONEY SPENT:
                       

Ø      Rs.200/- for advance of windshield.
Ø      Rs.50/- for browsing, downloading videos and pictures.
Ø      Rs.50/- for transporting.


ESTIMATED DATE OF COMPLETION:
           
18-03-2010

PROJECT TITLES:


Ø      AUTOMATIC SENSING WIPER:

This project deals with the wiper arrangement in three/four wheeler vehicles.
With the help of RAIN SENSOR we actuating the wiper and also the speed of the wiper are also controlled by using it. The rain sensor is in the shape of a ‘V’ block. If the rain drops for the certain time or amount it triggers the wiper ON. According to the collection of water in the sensor the speed of wiper is controlled. There is a passage for delivery of water when it is fully filled.
Components required for
§         Front glass
§         Wiper attachment with motor
§         Rain sensor
§         Battery
§         Electrical equipments like switch etc.,


Ø      BIO GAS AS FUEL FOR THE IC ENGINES:
    
The fuels exist in nature for the IC engines are petrol and diesel. Now it is new project that is running an IC engine by using BIO-GAS as the fuel.
   Here is the block diagram about of the project and its components.

Ø      WATER TREATMENT PLANT:

It is project which deals with the major problem in our daily routine life.
That is cleaning the water and makes it into tasty.
This water is supplied to the boiler. Because the salty water into the boilers make the boiler efficiency low and forms salt formation on the boilers shell and peal the material. It may lead to the overheating of tubes.
Components required for this project are
§         Glass jar (2 No)
§         Tubes
§         Carbon, stone and all other things.
The water in the jar flows to the bottom while going; it color, taste and smell change good. With the help of glass jar we can clearly see the process.
