Hydroelectric for Goa

Its been raining continuously for the past 2 days here in Goa. And just a while ago while I was reading about small hydroelectric systems in Home Power I thought yeah we can implement this to complement solar PV.

At this time of the year we have little sunlight... it gets overcast and it rains for a couple of days (at the minimum) on end. There is water gushing from the drain, from the roof and from freshly formed streams.

Small Hydro can make up for the loss of sunlight. How about placing tiny systems at downspouts and fast flowing storm water drains.

Just a thought... have to work on this

Anyone reading can contribute your thoughts.

USB Meter - For Measuring Capacity of a USB Power Bank & Other 5V Devices

You have bought a power bank and are wondering if it really measures up to the advertised Capacity? Check with this Power Meter. You can connect it to any USB Power Source like your Power Bank. It will Show you the Output Voltage of the Power Bank - This should be 5V On the USB Female side you connect your Load. You can then see the Current that the Device Consumes. Leave it on for a while and it can give you an indication of the Power Consumed.  This is also the Power delivered by the source (Could be your Power Bank) It measures Voltage & Current - Power = Voltage x Current (For DC Voltages like this one) The Total Energy that can be delivered by your Power Bank = The Capacity of your Power Bank. Energy (Or Capacity) is the ability for the Power Bank to give X Watts for T Time before it runs out of juice. Hence TIME is the factor that comes into play to measure the Total Energy that can be delivered by your Power Bank or The Capacity of your Power Bank Capa...

Annunciator

Design & Development of Annunciator . For a California based Company redesigned their annunciators around modern technology. The annunciators could handle 1 to 128 input modules with inputs to display from 8 to 1024 zones. The original full analog design was simplified with a single main PCB with a powerful microcontroller and multiple smaller PCBs with smaller microcontrollers, Analog & Digital inputs and outputs. PC based Software was developed to configure the system for multiple parameters. The duration of the project was 8 months.Test jigs were replicated at both places (USA & Goa, India).
