Project Demonstration

Computer Lab 3, A-block, Air University Islamabad. (17-06-2011)

Finally I can relax :)) YAYYYY!

There was no hope of any success until today in the morning. We had already decided what will be our plan of action to complete the project in working condition. But I'm 100% sure that it were the prayers of our parents and loved ones that produced  this miracle.

The part that was compulsory for us to present was the tracking of the parabolic dish, and our LDR sensors were not at all reacting to the intensity of light.

See this for a change... Our project only worked when a demonstrator came towards our project!!! And that happened 4 times, not once!!! (Usually its the opposite xD)

We actually boiled rice for an experiment and they were tasty according to the faculty xD The response of everyone was very good and most of the people liked our project.
Btw, there were some amazing projects out there this time whose photos I will upload asap ..

I saw two people sitting in the cafeteria who ordered Milk Shake. While the order was served one of them was away. The second person sitting quickly sipped one of the glass and exchanged it for the other to drink!! :DD

Final Presentation

Currently I'm sitting at the top roof of B-block at Air university Islamabad, sorting out our FYP and its mighty hot, around 50 degree celcius according to our Digital Multimeter.

The Final Presentation was a disaster.. Yes, Well almost!

Our project was Dual axis tracking of a Parabolic Dish, Solar Power Plant using a stirling Engine to Produce electricity.

We had prepared the presentation well enough and our Advisor also approved the presentation that we had prepared, in fact he himself edited the power point for the measurements taken. But as is the case, when we presented it on the rostrum we were lost for words.

It wasn't that we did not know anything, we did. But the internal politics of the administration resulted in our punishment. There were as usual two groups of staff, both trying to let the others and their groups down.

Although we were presenting it correctly but they let our presentation all get mixed up. We did not get in any kind of rhythm at all. It was all left to the demo that we have to present tomorrow, and show the solar dish tracking the sun automatically, but the bad news is that the dish is not working at all.

The consequences.... Delay in the awarding of grade, time extension for the project deadline.
