House generation control system. With the introduction of the Government Feed In Tariff(FIT)it makes financial sense to utilise all of your renewable generation on site. If your generation is sold back to the Grid you get around 3p per KWH. If you use the KWH's on site you save around 13p per KWH(rough cost per KWH from energy supplier. Therefore my project is to research and implement a control system that will decide where a houses renewable generation will be used. [(CC) BY-NC-SA 2.0 UK]

Wireless Audio Transmission. My proposal is to design a wireless audio transmitter and receiver, the main goal of which is to replace conventional 3.5mm and 1/4" TRS connector cables. Essentially I hope to make a cheap but high-quality wireless replacement for guitar cables which can also be used to transmit music from a device to a speaker system (or headphones).

Use of EMG in robotic control. The project entails creating a mobile robot with a robotic arm and an adjustable camera rig. The robot will them be controlled using a combination of EEG and EMG. The arm and camera rig will be controlled using EMG, while the robot’s movements will be controlled using EEG. Both inputs will be collet and transmitted wirelessly to the robot.

Laser particle counter for air quality analysis. Design and build a device that uses laser light scattering to count airborne particulate matter within a range of 2.5 and 10 micrometers, to give a count of harmful particles for a given volume of air.

Buck Boost convertor in DCM. A buck boost convertor which initially boost the voltage from 18 volt to 60 volt and then to be down converted to 13.5 volt via a buck convertor. The aim is to run this power supply in discontinued conduction mode. It is envisage that dcm will improve the efficiency of the smps [Released under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 UK: England & Wales licence.]

Brain Signals Enhanced Haptic Game Interface Design. The project is to develop a novel game interface that human players could control the virtual characters using haptic joystick as well as using mind, through a process of real-time brain EEG signals collection and analysis to detect player’s intention.

Bipedal robot: hands. We have a need for five fingered hands that can grasp cloth. We have a prototype and a Solidworks model. It has 3 rotational axes, finger grip, thumb grip and wrist rotate. [Released under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 UK: England & Wales licence.]

GPS and GSM based vehicle Tracker/Anti-Theft Device. The system will allow the user to send an MSM to a vehicle which will then reply with the latitude and longitude co-ordinates of its position. These features will be achieved by using a microcontroller to manage a GPS and a GSM module as off the shelf components.

Hydrogen Boiler energy system. Creating a small boiler that is heated using hyrdogen produced by electrolysis. The main part of the project would include producing and engineering the electrolysis, so it is efficient as possible. This hydrogen could then be filtered out of the system and into a boiler to heat water, this water could then be used as hot water in a home or to produce steam to turn a turbine on a larger scale.

Phone Detector. The objective of the project will be to identify if there is any transmission from a selected bandwidth of mobile phone network. [Released under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 UK: England & Wales licence.]

Wireless Winch Controller. that has the ability to operate multiple winches simultaneously on off road vehicles during competitions. As well as operating the winches the controller will display the voltage of the vehicle batteries and warn the operator that the batteries are being drained towards a level where damage could occur to the batteries and leave the vehicle in a position where it is not able to be re-started should the vehicle stall.
