Our objective:
The objective of this project is to use the energy produced directly by the sun and
collect it for driving a drilling machine which totally debars today's concern of
growing energy needs and increasing environmental alternatives to use the non-
renewable energy and polluting fossil fuels .
The drilling machine so operated will be economically cheap, doesn’t depend on
main as it would work on solar power and no monthly payment of electricity bills
is required.
ABSTRACT
Solar power is the inception of electricity from sunlight. Solar energy is the most paramount
form of renewable energy that is utilized using a variety of ranges of technologies like solar
heating, solar thermal energy, artificial photosynthesis etc. Sunlight can be converted directly
into electricity using photo voltaic (PV), or indirectly with concentrating solar power (CSP),
that focuses the sun's energy for boiling the water which is then used to provide power, and
technologies such as the Sterling engine dishes which use a Sterling cycle engine to power a
generator. The large magnitude of solar energy fabricates it to be the alluring renewable
energy. Photo voltaic were initially used to power orbiting satellites and other spacecrafts but
today they are used for grid connection and power generation. This paper mainly focuses on
applications of solar power for driving a drilling machine and a stirrer machine prototype.
Drilling is a cutting process that is used to cut holes into or through metal, wood or other
materials whereas a stirrer is used to mix component, either solids or liquids and get a
homogeneous mixture. Using this form of energy is economical and environment friendly .

Introduction
The broad statement of design problem
In modern society ,humans not only need energy to maintain their metabolism for their
body to keep running but also for several other purposes like running appliances,
transportation purposes, residential uses like heating, lighting the home etc.Solar energy
is the energy radiated by sun in enormous amount every day. The energy is produced in
sun in its inner core in a process called nuclear fusion.
Solar energy is considered as a renewable energy source as every hour the sun’s energy
reaches the earth surface to meet the energy needs of the nation. But the capturing of
sunlight and utilizing it in the future needs is a difficult task as the energy spreads over a
very large area on the surface of the earth. Solar collectors like solar panel make it very
easy to capture the energy for using it. The solar inverters are used to convert the DC to
AC power where the low voltages DC sources are needed to get converted to AC power
for various applications.
Solar inverters use maximum power point tracking (MPPT) to get the maximum
possible power from the PV array. In this context, we are implementing the prototype
model of a drilling machine and a stirrer machine within the limited available source
and economy for the day to day uses. This system can further be subjected for future
development using advanced techniques. The genuine use of the solar energy can lead

Step ii.Identify a balance relationship
For proper and exquisite functioning, the solar panel must produce enough of solar
power for future uses.
Solar inverters use maximum power point tracking (MPPT) to get the maximum
possible power from the PV array. Solar cells have a composite relationship between
6
solar irradiation, temperature and total resistance that produces a non-linear output
efficiency known as the I-V curve.
The aim of the MPPT system is to gather the output of the cells and determine a
resistance (load) to obtain maximum power for any given situation.
The fill factor refers to a parameter which, in complement with the open circuit voltage
(Voc) and short circuit current (Isc) of the panel, finds out the maximum power from a
solar cell.
Step iii.Identify the boundaries
This step entails the recognition of boundary conditions of the concept selected. For this
concept an inverter is designed that stores electrical energy in a battery and discharges it when
need. Basically, all household inverters majorly have two parts- Battery Charging Circuit and
Inverter Circuit. Battery charging circuit either uses the power from mains or from solar energy
to charge the battery and the Inverter Circuit convert the DC power stored in the battery to AC
whenever needed.
Here we are dealing with a Simple Low Power Square Wave Inverter using CD4047.We have
chosen CD4047 IC to design our inverter circuit as it is a low power IC capable of operating in
either in astable or monostable mode.

Step iv.Derive an equation
Mathematical analysis of the component is performed in this section. One of the
early sub-functions of the project can be derived mathematically.
CD4047 is a low power IC capable of operating in either in astable or monostable
mode. Here it is wired in astable mode. It works by charging a capacitor through
a resistor as in every astable multivibrators. A variable resistor is provided for
adjusting the output frequency to exact 50Hz.
The time period of the oscillation is given by the relation T = 4.40*R*C------------

This AC is given to the step up transformer of the secondary coil from this coil only we
will get the increased AC voltage , this AC voltage is so high; from step up transformer we
will get the max voltage. Zenor diode will help avoid the reverse current.
Conclusion
14.1 Conclusion
This report details with the extraction of solar power and use it for various industrial
applications. In the recent scenario, the growing energy needs for various purposes has become
the need of the situation. It is therefore essential to use the renewable resources resolutely to
meet the needs. One of such alternative is solar energy. It is quite simply the energy produced
directly by the sun and collected elsewhere. Apart from these, solar energy helps to reduce the
electric bills and has diverse applications such as to generate electricity in areas without access to
energy grid. This system requires very less maintenance and the only thing to keep them
8
performing is to clean them at specific interval of time. Like the other side of the coin, this
system has a few drawbacks. This system is completely weather dependant and the initial cost of
purchasing the system and installing it is fairly high. Disregarding the dark side, we have
designed a solar driven drilling machine and a stirrer machine prototype as these machines play a
major role in most of the industrial purposes.
