Abstract : This study was conducted to find a solution to solve the problem of deprivation of light present in the rural society of Bangladesh. More than 50percent of our rural population are deprived of electricity. This in turns results in absence of light in houses. A device was designed using bottles, Light Emitting Diode, solar panel and battery for an alternative lighting system. This device is not so costly and can be reproduced very easily. Different variations of this device was tested using a light meter (Model-LX 1102). A brief overview of this newly proposed lighting system is discussed in the study.
Abstract : When a ship operates, an immense amount of energy is required. The main source of generation of power is derived from the burning of fossil fuel. This power generating system is costly and also detrimental to our environment. Hence, ideas relating to green energy are being leaned on now-a-days. With a combination of Light Emitting Diodes(LED) lights, refractive properties of water and photo voltaic cell, we designed an alternative lighting system using the green energy. Our works aims to reduce the load on the generator in inland cargo ship. Thus decreasing the fuel consumption and emission of harmful by-products. A light sensor (MOD 00063) was used to contrast between our designed lighting system and the existing one. This sensor was calibrated using a light meter (Model- LX 1102). A brief overview about the opportunities and disadvantages of the proposed lighting systems being discussed.
Abstract : The deficit present in the national electricity grid of Bangladesh is yet to be solved. This problem requires a very costly solution. In this study, a cost-effective solution has been provided for the areas where the darkness comes along with the sunset. The module consists of Light Emitting Diode, Photo-voltaic cell, Light Dependent Resistor, Battery, Plastic bottle, etc. Tests were conducted using a black room and different orientations of LED. The intensity of the light was measured using the sensor YUROBOT. The sensor was calibrated using a light meter(LX-1102) and data was presented using MATLAB. The Arduino circuit used as the measuring device. And the primary device’s circuit was illustrated using PSPICE. Finally, a comparative study was presented for selecting the optimum amount of lights necessary.

Ship design process is an arduous task. Since the shape of the ship is not regular, the hull form changes for every type of ship. But remains similar for same type of vessel. The course outline dictated that we are to design a ship that would use for fishing with all modern equipment from shore to 900 km to the sea. That is a deep sea fishing trawler. Got the opportunity to design a deep sea fishing trawler which was the first ever designed.
