Previously one iron store reader has been designed to measure the level of Iron of the human body. The Iron store reader has been designed using a circuitry contains RGB LED, Microcuvette, Photo detector and Arduino UNO microcontroller. Existing Iron reader needs electricity to run but in some remote area there is no electricity, Usefulness of iron store reader is yet to reach to the remote area residence. The aim to this project was to power up the iron store reader by adding a cost effective solar charging mechanism to the existing Iron store reader. An ON-OFF charging mechanism has been added to the device after studying the electrical characteristics and ratings of the iron store reader. Solar panel, Voltage regulator, diode, relay, resistors, capacitors and battery has been used to design a charging circuitry for the device. The performance the solar panel, Charging and discharging characteristics has been elaborated in the thesis. Designed solar charging mechanism of portable iron store reader can be charged by solar panel and it can run up to 6 hours once it is fully charged. Designed charging mechanism is able to provide 8.4V output with current supply up to 400 mA for 6 hours. The charging system is automatic and is able to protect the battery from overcharging. Designed solar powered Iron store reader is very portable and can be brought anywhere. Another aspect that has been discussed in this thesis, is the range of the most effective day hour to charge the devices when the available sun is comparatively high. Solar energy is one of the most promising renewable energy sources. Nowadays the advancement of solar energy has spread too many remote and isolated fields even in small power consuming devices. It promotes green technology which is a very important factor in today's invention. Malaysia is one of highly potential candidate to utilize solar energy in many household and small scale applications. The average total solar radiation per day is 4 KWh to 5 KWh which proves that a lot of application and device can be designed based on solar energy. 2024-06-28T01:11:42Z 2024-06-28T01:11:42Z 2015 Resource Types::text::Final Year Project https://irepository.uniten.edu.my/handle/123456789/32742 en application/pdf
