The need for identification leads to the study of biometrics. Over the ages, human beings have been identified by various means, such as the Name, Complexion, Nationality, and even some uniquely assigned codes. Of all these methods, none can be used to uniquely identify an individual distinctly under all circumstances. However, research has shown… Continue Reading
Induction machine account for about 60percent of the electrical consumption in industrial countries; hence a huge energy savings could be achieved by even a small increment in the machine efficiency. Improving the designs of induction machines requires accurate quantification of the machine losses. A significant portion of the losses in… Continue Reading
This project is titled the construction of a DC to AC inverter system. It is constructing to meet up with the power demand in the offices and in homes in the absence of power supply from the power holding company of Nigeria, PHCN. In order words the device / item serves as a substitute for PHCN which almost monopolises the power supply to… Continue Reading
The energy sector plays a major role in driving Kenya’s economy. The need to conceive, develop and sustain energy generating sources cannot be underestimated. Being a growing economy, Kenya therefore needs to redirect her effort in production of self-sustaining energy generating sources. It is in this line that the government through the… Continue Reading

An inverter is a system which is capable of converting DC voltage from a battery into AC voltage. The Inverter constructed converts 12V dc to 220V Ac. It consists of an oscillator section using 8V dc to produce 50Hz sine wave. The sine wave is amplified by Tip 41 and used to drive IRPF 250 MOSFET power transistors capable of delivering… Continue Reading
This project shows the construction of a microcontroller based security door using smart card. It is aimed towards programming the microcontroller to control the hardware in sliding door. The system consists of a microcontroller 89S52 which sends a signal to the multiplexers on insertion of the smart card in the card slot. The… Continue Reading
Microcontroller based automate controller is a project design of a system that is used in operating a gate automatically. The system opens the gate automatically when a human being or car is about to enter a compound or exit a compound. The system works by sensing the light rays from the head lamp of the vehicle. The light ray is sensed… Continue Reading
Metal detectors are electronics sensors that indicate the presence of metallic object without making physical contact with object. They are effective and useful security tools employed in strategic places such as airport, bank, stadiums, government houses and also in production industries to detect presence of metallic object on person… Continue Reading

The main aim of any electric power supply in the world is to provide uninterrupted power supply at all times to all its consumers. Although, in developing countries, the electric power generated to meet the demands of the growing consumers of electricity is insufficient, hence power instability and outage. Power instability or outage in… Continue Reading
Most industrial and commercial processes are dependent on electrical power. Power failure or outage in general does not promote development in public and private sectors. The investors do not feel secure to come into a country with constant or frequent power failure. This limits the development of industries.In addition there are… Continue Reading
