Design of Portable DC Light Bulb for the DC House Project

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

<p>This thesis focuses on the design and implementation of the Portable DC Light Bulb system for Cal Poly San Luis Obispo’s DC House Project. The DC Portable Light Bulb highlights the NiMH battery charging circuit, buck converter, and boost converter. The system is intended as a flashlight adaptor placed in between the dimmable DC light bulb and its screw base. The adaptor adds a portability feature to the DC light bulb to provide lighting wherever the user pleases. The Portable DC Light Bulb system is designed to operate with an input range of 24V-60V and regulate an output voltage of 34V for the DC light bulb. Computer simulations, calculations, and hardware results verifies the proposed Portable DC Light Bulb system’s design, function, and purpose.</p>
