Week 3 - The Idea was Born

As the 3rd week came and i still have not decide any project to be register. this cause a bit stress to me since the due date is near and it really push me to decide. During that time i had done lots of discussions with my adviser and finally came with this hybrid idea. At first, i suggested to him that we could use both solar and wind energy to generate a cargo tanker engine, This is because it have large surface area which suitable to place lots of solar panel and sea always have air waves which can generate wind turbine. Next, my adviser suggested to me why not place another energy source which is sea waves and it easier to predict than other energy source.


Draft of the development of cargo tanker using hybrid renewable energy :

Week 2 - Finding a Suitable Project

First week has passed, during second week i have done a few researches for the project and came with ideas. then, i discussed with my adviser and he said that my idea was not really full fill his specification. so, he suggested to me a few projects that could help me which is generally under scope robotic and renewable energy. at first,i was agreed to develop renewable energy based on bio mass using palm tree branches.

 after further discussion, we found out that was too simple and nothing new to achieved. it also will cause me  problems when the time come for me to present this project, this is because it takes time for the biomass to process.
