Introduction
I am building a cost effective electricity source by using
the sun or wind. It will charge a 12V acid battery which
will be used to operated a car park control system.
I will demonstrate how I achieved this, what skills I
gained in the process and what I learned about building
a circuit.

Circuit Assembly
I designed my circuit on the multisim, here I was able to
see my mistakes and correct them without any damage
or cost.
Then I moved onto the bread board which allowed me to
get a feel for how the circuit will actually work.
Finally I assembled the final product on the PCB, allowing
me to see my final product and what I had achieved.
Multisim
Ø Computer programme where you build a circuit with the
correct components.
Ø Shows how the components work with each other.
Ø How to connect the components.
Ø It will be a functional schematic.
Ø Helps when choosing the source for the circuit.
Ø Can see the expected out put.
Ø Shows any faults in the circuit.
Bread Board
Ø After testing on multisim, I
assembled my circuit on the
bread board.
Ø Pay attention to IC pin numbers
when connecting to circuit.
Ø Input and output of transistor pin
is different on the schematic.
Ø Capacitor polarities must be
connected correctly.
Ø LED connection must be round
the right way.
Ø
PCB
Ø Red lines = copper.
Ø Green lines = wire
connection.
Ø Connection based
on schematic
design.
Schematic
Ø Deigned on the Express SCH.
Ø Reference to the PCB
connections.
Ø
Circuit Connection to the Battery &
Source
Ø 12V Solar connected to
circuit through
diode, fuse and
relay contactor.
Ø Contactor works when
batteries are full.
Ø Extra charge will work
12V bulbs. No waste
of electricity.
Ø Batteries connected
parallel.
Ø Negative terminal
connected to earth.
Ø Output positive
connected to
battery positive.
Skills Gained
Ø Learning about the multisim.
Ø Understanding schematic diagrams.
Ø PCB circuit design.
Ø Soldering.
Ø Component Testing.
Ø Circuit Testing.
Ø Logging everything in my note book.
Ø Presenting the final design.
Conclusion
This project was very enjoyable as it allowed me
to learn new skills.
It taught me how to use programmes that I will be
using throughout my Engineering Career.
It allowed me to keep track of what I was doing in
order to achieve a final product.
