  • The Solar Charging Backpack
    The Solar Charging Backpack Ali Nahm 1 Abstract This project was to build a solar backpack, an idea suggested by my ASR teacher, Dr. Dann. The backpack would store energy from solar cells placed on its exterior, which could then be used to charge people’s electronic devices, such as a cellphone or iPod. It’s always frustrating when one cannot contact friends because of a dead phone and there is no place nearby to charge it. This problem could easily be solved by making this portable charging station. Moreover, this project is one way to apply green technology to an everyday problem. I incorrectly assumed that solar energy can only be generated through giant panels located in the middle of hot deserts. When preparing for my M-BEST workshop on green technology in January 2011, I learned that solar energy can also be captured through small solar cells that can fit in the palm of my hand. I thought it was so cool that power can be generated from such a small, thin object. I’d be exploring a new method of powering things, which is important since non-renewable energy sources, such as coal and oil, are being depleted quickly. The goal of this project is to learn more about building circuits, especially learning how to build a circuit that can store energy and then pass the energy on to an electronic device in controlled amounts so that the device does not break from getting too much power. Another goal of the project is to learn more about solar energy and how solar cells work.

  • Multipurpose Smart Bag
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Computer Science 79 ( 2016 ) 77 – 84 7th International Conference on Communication, Computing and Virtualization 2016 Multipurpose Smart Bag Shweta Ma, Tanvi Pb, Poonam Sc, Nilashree Md* Dept. of Electronics and Telecommunication, Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues Institute of Technology, Vashi, Navi Mumbai - 400703, India. Abstract Smart bag is an application-specific design that can be useful for almost everyone in the society. Smart means intelligent, the bag will be intelligent enough to carry out various features for everyday use. Microcontroller ATmega16, the brain of the proposed system will control all the distinguishable features. Solar panel attached on the front part of the bag will charge not only the electronic appliances like mobile phones, laptop, etc. but will also power the entire system. RF-ID Technology will be used to solve the problem of forgetfulness to pack the required items. The object to be placed inside the bag will have these RF-ID tags attached to them. These tags will then be read by the RF-ID reader. Another feature tackles the problem arising in the threatening situations. Emergency button present on the bag which when pressed will solve this problem in any emergency situation. When the button will be pressed, a buzzer will get activated and the location of the victim will be sent via SMS to three contacts and to the police control room as well. Another feature is an anti-theft feature which will track the mobile in case of any theft. Bluetooth Module will be used for tracking purpose. © 20162016 The The Authors.
