Nikola Tesla and Tesla Coil

Hi there! After a little exam break, I am here again with my presentation that was presented in Technical English I lecture. We were free to pick a subject, and I wanted to talk about Nikola Tesla's life and one of his amazing inventions, the Tesla coil. The PowerPoint slide worked pretty well. Hence, the lecturer liked it, I think. Anyways, here is that.



It's not the only source that I use. Also I made profit by few videos about the Tesla coil. Here is that explanatory video that I showed to people to be figure it out.

Sample Agricultural Technics System

On this work, I tried to create a new watering system on an orange field. I was totally free when creating this system as the lecturer said. He wanted us to make a whole plan on our own from the prices of components to the control system's design. Well, I did something anyway.

AGRICULTURAL TECHNICS ON AN ORANGE FIELD

Product: Orange
Location: Mersin

Information For Required Conditions:
- An average orange field needs nearly 1000 mm water per session.
- Ideal temperatures are between 23°C and -3°C.
- Hot and cold winds effect the trees negative.
- Low rate of humidity is pretty inefficient.
- Optimal soil pH is 5 or 6.

CONTROL SYSTEM

Created by LucidChart

The Prices of Components:

- 2 x 240W solar power panels → 1700 TL

- 12V-24V 30 AH auto charge regulator → 230 TL

- 30 x Lamp for illumination → 60 TL

- Digital humidity and temperature sensor → 27 TL

- Air pressure, wind speed, direction of wind measurement sensor → 1100 $ = nearly 2387 TL

- 1.5 mm diameter 300 m transmission lines → 95 TL

Total Cost: 4499 TL

(1)Solar power is used as a main power system. Supplementary power source is active when solar power system doesn't provide enough energy for the processes.

(2)Wireless transmitter sends to a smart phone a detailed data report per hour. The report includes the rate of humidity, temperature degree, air pressure and instant wind speed.

Actually I haven't used Google+ before. However, I don't remember why, started using that suddenly. After a little try, I liked it a lot! That's because the interface looked really appealing. It's not the only reason, of course! In my opinion, Google+ is one of the suitable social media platform for geek/nerd people. 'cause I realized that many people are sharing interesting stuff about computer, science or technology. Plus, the communities that you're in are pretty useful if you know what kind of which you should join. If we put aside everything, you cannot see any member of your family around there. This is the main point! :)

Here is my Google+ account.
