This document describes the design of a clap-activated switch circuit. The circuit uses a microphone to detect clapping sounds and convert them to electrical signals. These signals are amplified and used to trigger a timer integrated circuit (IC). The timer IC is configured as a monostable multivibrator and its output drives a decade counter IC that acts as a bistable switch to turn a relay on or off. The relay then switches power to an electrical device. The circuit only changes the output state when two claps are detected within a set time period determined by a resistor-capacitor component. The circuit provides a simple way to remotely control devices through hand clapping without risk of accidental triggering.
Static electricity is caused by an imbalance of electrons between two objects. Rubbing certain materials together, like fur and ebonite, can cause this imbalance as electrons are transferred. Conductors allow electrons to flow freely, while insulators impede electron flow. Static electricity has many uses, like in photocopiers, but can also be dangerous in situations like lightning or refueling. Electric current is the flow of electrons through a material over time. Resistance opposes this flow. Circuits use components like resistors, capacitors, and switches to control current. Electricity powers many appliances and lights in homes. Safety devices like fuses and circuit breakers help prevent overloads.

The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Introduction to LED
1.1 Introduction
Traditionally following types of lamps are used to convert electrical energy
into light energy.
1) Incandescent Lamp : Incandescent lamp uses tungsten filament. When
current is passed through filament a light is produced. The filament is
enclosed in an evacuated glass bulb filled with a gas such as argon, krypton,
or nitrogen that helps increase the brilliance of the lamp and also helps the
prevent the filament from burning out.
Intensity of light is measured by unit Lumens and Incandescent light gives
approximately 200 luminous flux (lm) light by 25W lamp. They are
commonly used as light source.
2) Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) : This is also known as an energy saving
light bulb, is a type of fluorescent lamp that fits into a standard light bulb
socket or plugs. CFLs have a longer rated life and use less electricity.
CFLs typically save enough money in electricity costs to make up for
their higher initial price within about 500 hours of use.A15WCFLproduce
the same amount of light as a 60 incandescent bulb (approximately 900
lumens or 60 lumens per Watt).
3) Neon Lamp : A neon lamp is a gas discharge lamp containing primarily
neon gas at low pressure. The term is also used for similar devices filled
with other noble gases, usually to produce different colors.Asmall electric
current which may be AC or DC, is passed through the tube, causing it to
glow orange - red.
4) Light Emitting diode (LED) : LEDs are special diodes that emit light.
LED devices are becoming popular because they consume very less power
than other light device. LEDs have been used in electronics circuit for
long time. They are available in red, yellow, green and multicolor and
mainly used as indicators in electronic devices.
But the new technological makes it possible to have white LEDs. Super
bright LEDs made it possible to get more light with very low power
consumption. Therefore now LEDs find its use as a light source.
LEDs are so far used in digital display , indicator on electronic instruments
like TV, Computer. But now they started finding application in making
bulb, torch, and emergency lamps, traffic signal, street lights and so on.

1.2 LED
LEDs are diode, which emits photons. They gives lights when current
is passed through them. Since it does not required heating of filament or gas, it
does not have the problem of burning out.

CHAPTER - 2
Basic Electric Concepts
This chapter will introduce you to basic electric concepts such as current,
voltage, ohm's, power; AC and DC power supply etc.
2.1 Current
The amount of electrical charge (current) flowing through the conductor
is called Current. The unit of current is called the ampere (abbreviated amp or
A). Symbolized with an I.
Types of Current : There are two types of current.
1) Direct current and
2) Alternating Current.
1) Direct current (DC): DC current always flow in one direction and its
direction and rating always remain the same .
The current we get from the cells or batteries is DC Current. It has
fixed polarities i.e +ve and -ve terminals.
2) Alternating Current (AC):The electric current whose direction and rating
is always changing is called A.C. The number of such changes in one
second is called frequency. In India we get 50 HZ frequency.
Measuring current
Remember following steps, while measuring currents.
1) Please checks if you have selected appropriate scale of current on
multi-meter. following are conversion units. 0.1A= 100MA
1000 micro Amp. (UA) = 1 Mili Ampere (MA)
1000 Mili Ampere (MA) = 1 Ampere.
1000 Ampere (A) = 1Kilo Ampere (KA)
2) The current is always measured in series.

3) Ensure multi-meter switch is on DC current position, then connect red
probe of multi-meter to positive terminal and black probe to other terminal
as shown in the figure.
2.2 Voltage
Voltage is defined as the amount of energy required to move a unit of
electrical charge (current) from one place to another. Voltage is represented by
symbol V. We get 230V AC supply in our homes. Standard pencil cell batteries
used in the torch/radio are 1.5V DC.
Measuring voltage
Remember following steps, while measuring voltage.
1) Please check if you have selected appropriate scale of voltage on multi-
meter. Following are the conversions
1000 Micro Volt (µV) = 1 Mili Volt (MV)
1000 Mili Volt (MV) = 1 Volt (V)
1000 Volt (V) = 1 Kilo Volt (KV)
Above values are indicated on multi-meter. The high voltage values are
used in Power station.
2) The voltage is always measured in parallel or across the load.
Figure 2.2 Voltage measure
3) Ensure multi-meter switch is on DC voltage position, then connect red
probe of multi-meter to positive terminal and black probe to other terminal
as shown in the figure.
2.3 Resistor
Resistor is electrical device that act to limit current flow in the circuit and
at the same time lowers voltage levels within circuits.
The resistor represent by (R)
The symbol of a resistor used in circuit is shown below

Resistors are very small in size. Their value is indicated by color codes
printed on it.
Resistors are used in electronic circuits to limit current as well as voltage.
2.4 Ohm's Law
Ohm found out that the current flowing through the conductor is directly
proportional to the voltage applied to it. The relation between voltage and current
flowing through it is shown by the formula. V=IR
I= V/R
R=V/I
I
Figure 2.4 Ohm's Law Concept
Ohms law is useful to find out the unknown parameter in the circuit if the
value of any two of the three (V, I, R) is known.
2.5 Power
Electrical power is defined as the rate at which electrical energy is supplied
to a circuit or consumed by a load.
Power (P) = Voltage (V)* Current (I)
P = V*I
The electric potential difference (V) and the current (I)
Power is measured in Wattage. It is represented by P.
1000W = 1 Kilo Watt (KW)
1000KW= 1 Mega Watt (MW)
11. 11
If 100W is printed on the bulb that means that is consumes 100W power
per hour.
P = V*I
100 = 230*I
I = 100/230
= 0.44 A
2.6 Capacitor
Function of capacitor is to store electrical energy and give it again to the
circuit, whenever required. When voltage is applied to a capacitor. It stores
charge on its plate. One side stores positive charge and other plate stores negative
charge
Symbol for a capacitor is shown below.
Figure 2.5 Capacitor symbol
The capacity of capacitor to store electric charge is known as capacitance.
It is denoted by C. Capacitance is measured in Farad, but Farad is very large
unit. The smaller units are Micro Farad (uF), Neno Farad (nF), and Pico Farad
(PF). The value of capacitor is printed on it.
Polarity of capacitors can be identified by negative sign printed on the
capacitor. It can be identified from the length of its lead. Longer lead indicated
positive terminal and shorter lead negative terminal. In ceramic capacitors
polarities are not pre defined, you can connect any terminal to any lead.

1) They are used to store temporary charge.
12. 12
2) It blocks the flow of DC voltage and permits the flow of AC voltage.
3) It bypasses (grounds) the unwanted frequencies in emergency lights.
2.7 Diode
Diode is a device which allows flow of current only in one direction.
When positive voltage is given to the anode and negative voltage given to the
cathode, the diode is in forward bias and this means diode will allow current to
flows. When we give negative voltage to anode then diode is in reverse bias
condition this means diode restricts flow of current.
The symbol of diode is given below.
Figure 2.7: circuit symbol
Negative terminal of diode is indicated by white ring.
Testing diode on multi-meter
Diode gives voltage drop of 0.6V. Follow following steps to test diode on
multimeter
i) Select 'diode' position on multi-meter.
ii) Connect red probe of multi-meter to positive terminal (anode) of diode
and black probe of multi-meter to negative terminal of the diode. If we get
0.6volt on multimeter, then diode in working condition.
Application:
Diode are used in circuits to convert ac voltage to dc voltage e.g.: ac/dc
power supply, voltage regulator circuit.
Battery connection:
1) Series connection
Figure 2.8: - battery connect in series
13. 13
Two or more batteries are connected in series to get more voltage. In this
connection voltage increases but current flowing through the circuit remains
constant.
V = v1+v2+v3+…….
The one cell voltage is 1.5v; if we connect three cells in series then we get
total voltage as given below.
V = v1+v2+v3
= 1.5+1.5+1.5
= 4.5 volts
This is total out put voltage from the series circuit.
2) Parallel connection

with same voltage but more current will be drawn from the battery and battery
will get discharged fast. The current from the battery will get divided equally
into each of the three branches in this arrangement. This means three times the
amount of current will flow from the battery. i.e I = I1 + I2 + I3
4) Combination of series and parallel:-
Figure 2.13: LED connected in series and parallel combination
It combines both features of series and parallel circuits. The circuits
explained above will be used depending on our need. The type of application
connected to the battery will decide how fast the battery will gets discharged.

3.9 : LED strip
LED strip can be used as tube light or it can also be used as lights for two
wheelers. While assembling you can make a LED strip with all LEDs connected
in series. Care should taken while doing the connections. Positive of one LED
should not be connected to positive of other LED in series connection. Secondly,
you can make AC to DC converter circuit. Also carefully observe the diode and
capacitor polarity while mounting them on PCB board as per given circuit
diagram.
22uf and 160v capacitor is used in the circuit to increase voltage level and
give this to 35 LEDs. Only 50 LEDs connect in series this is very important
thing in this circuit. One drawback of the circuit is that if one LED gets burned
in the circuit then the whole strip will not work. That time you have to check
every single LED to detect faulty one.

CHAPTER - 4
Charging System
Different sources of power can be used to power LED lights. Following
are common sources of power to charge batteries :-
1) Grid Power 2) Solar Power 3) Pedal Power .
4.1 Grid Power
Electric supply from Electricity Company is 230VAC. But all electronics
component needs DC supply. To charge batteries from 230AC , a charging
circuit is required to convert 230v AC into DC.
Figure 4.1 Battery charge using grid power
4.2 Solar Power
Batteries can be charged using solar panel. This system is very use full for
remote areas tribal areas.
Figure 4.2 :- Block Diagram of Charge battery from solar Panel
Selection of solar panel
You need low LED bulb for 3 hrs a day.This means your power requirement
is 30watt per day.
Normally assume you will get 6 hrs of good quality sunlight in a day.
i.e. you need solar panel which will give 5W of power.
Power (p) = Battery voltage * current
30 = 6v * current
31. 31
5A = Current
This means we will need battery of 6v and 5AH.

4.3 Pedal power
Anormal human being is capable of generating 60W of power. In the past
it was not feasible to use human power to light filament lamps. Since it requires
more power . But since LED consumes very little power, its possible to use
human power for lighting application.
Figure 4.3: - pedal power generator
A Permanent Magnet Generator of 1200-1500 RPM, 6Amp, 12V is suitable
for installing on monowheel cycle as shown in the figure.Aflywheel is attached
to the front wheel to take of variations in pedaling. Such generators can be
ordered from Vigyan ashram.
32. 32
AC alternators used in the automobiles requires high RPM and due to
induction it becomes heavier to pedal them. Therefore they are not directly
suitable for this application.
A cycle dynamo which can be fitted on normal bicycle gives 6W and
0.5Amp. It can be used for small power application.
Following circuit are to control voltage and current for different power
systems.
4.4 Battery Charger
As discussed above for charging batteries from solar/wind/grid or pedal
power, we need charger. Battery charger will be different depending on the
input and output voltage. The circuit's shows charger to charge batteries for
grid power.

compatible for 6v (4.5AH) batteries.
4.5 Solar panel
In the market different type of solar panel available any solar panel need
power diode their meaning is current rating of diode become up to 6 Ampere,
these are use for reveres current protection from battery. When current draw
from solar will stop that time current supply from solar panel therefore diode
need for solar panel.

4.6 Pedal power
If you use alternator then need power diode bridge because alternator output
get AC , we required DC voltage for battery charging. The diode convert AC
voltage into DC voltage. If you use DC generator then didn't need four diode
only use one diode for do not reveres current flow from battery.

Batteries
5.1 Introduction
It is important to known basic about batteries and their maintenance. An
electrochemical battery or more precisely a cell is a device which converts
chemical energy into electricity energy. Dry cell or battery used in the torch or
radio having one time use is example of "primary" cell. In secondary cell, the
chemical reaction can be reversed repeatedly. Charging and discharging of cell
is possible. Chargeable batteries are example of "secondary" cell.
Connections : Batteries can be connected in series and parallel depending
on requirement of voltage and current.

The Ni Cd (Nickel Cadmium) is material use in PP3 9v general purpose
battery. The PP3 means it use for portable device.
All type of information get about battery give this link: www.answers.com
How to select correct battery for your work.
First of all, you must get to know your device.
What is device's input voltage (V)
What is its power consumption (wattage).
What is maximum current drain (A).
What is your expected running time by a battery?
i) Decide battery voltage : Battery pack voltage must be equal or a little higher
than your device voltage need. For an exact voltage, which battery pack
cannot provide a DC-DC regulator circuit is used. The battery voltage need
for UPS is 12v and 7.5AH, for emergency lamp is need 6v and 4.5AH etc.
ii) Decide battery packs capacity (mAh or AH) : The primary cell capacities
indicated in mili Ampere hour (mAh) and secondary cell capacity indicate
in Ampere Hours (AH). This indicated amount of current battery can give
for one hour. For e.g. 80Amp-hr battery can give 80Amp current for 1 hr.
Battery capacity is depended on how much device's wattage and how long
you need to run your device (hours).
Which can be calculated as the follows?
(AH) = Device's wattage (W) * Time to run (Hours) A
Battery Voltage
For Example : For calculating battery capacity to use 9 watts LED device
for 10 hours with 12V battery. Battery capacity is calculated as follows :
Battery voltage is 12v,
Time = 10 hours and device's wattage = 9w.
You can calculate current capacity of battery by using given formula as
the follows:
(AH) = Device's wattage (W) * Time to run (Hours)
Battery Voltage
AH = 10 * 10 / 12 AH = 7.5
37. 37
Battery of 7.5AH current capacity is required.
Before ordering batteries you must pay attention on maximum
discharging rating on the specification or description.
You must find out maximum discharging current of the device. If
its not available it can be measured by a multi-meter.
Maximum discharge rate printed on batteries must be higher than
needed by device.
Secondary cell Primary cell
5.3 Maintenance of Batteries
Avoid over charge and over discharge of batteries. This will increase battery
life.
For sealed maintenance free lead acid batteries, no need to worry about
distill water level only ensure you have battery protection circuit and you
should keep minimum hours for battery charge.
For normal lead acid batteries, check distill water level. The distill water
level check by gravity meter.
Insert gravity meter into battery liquid. Distill water in the battery will be
absorbed by gravity meter. If distill water indicate on gravity meter 10.2mm
for 12v battery then battery is discharged. If levels on gravity meter indicate
12.2mm then battery is fully charged.
Battery life will increase if you check and maintain distill water level after
every 3 month.
Safety Precautions
According to electric appliance indication please connect battery positive
pole and Negative pole correctly.
Do not charge primary battery i.e. Dry cell.
Do not heat or disassemble the battery even put it into fire or water.
If finding exceptional conditions, such as leakage, crack, please stop using
the battery immediately.
38. 38
Always use charger with automatic power cut-off function when battery
is full.
Never use NiMH battery charger for Li-ion battery pack, it will cause
battery exploded.
Always charge your battery with attention.
5.4 Testing of Batteries
Overcharge
Under charge (over discharge)
Over Charge
The full charged battery voltage is 12.6v for 12v batteries. When battery
voltage reach up to 12.6v then battery charging should be stopped immediately.
This is maximum cut off point for fully charged battery.
For 6v batteries, their cut off voltage is 6.4v.
Over Discharge
When voltage level goes down below cut off voltage, battery is called
over discharge. For 12v batteries cut off point is 10.2v. For 6v batteries cut off
point is 5.2v.
Batteries should not be used below cut off point voltage.

APPENDIX
Electric Bill Calculation
To calculate electrical bill by using KWH method. KWH = Kilo Watt
Hours
KW = kilo watt
H = Hour
1000 mw = 1 W
1000 W = 1 KW
Formula = 1000W * 1 H = 1 unit
Kilo Watt * Hour * Day = unit * Rate = Bill
If 1000 watt is consumed by any equipment in hour then 1 unit of electricity
gets consumed.
Example:If4TubelightareONfor8hoursadayandpertubelightelectricity
consumption is 40W, 12 bulbs are ON for 2 hours per day and per bulb
consumption is 200W and 1 LED lamp is ON for 12 hours a day and consumes
2W power. Then you can calculate using above data electricity bill for one month.
Per day power consumption
1) Tube lights : 4 tube lights* 40 Watt per tube * 8 hrs per day = 1280 W
2) Bulbs :12 bulbs * 200 Watt per bulb * 2 hrs per day = 4800W
3) LED Lamp:1 lamp * 2 Watt per lamp * 12 hrs a day = 24 W
Total power consumption per day = 1280 + 4800 + 24 = 6104 Watt
Power consumption in 30 days in a month = 6104 * 30 = 183120 watt
i.e 183120 / 1000 = 183.12 KW
