Creating an efficient, sustainable and environmentally responsible research environment.

Engineer Yaqeen has designed and developed an intelligent mobile-controlled sprinkler system that provides an easier and safer way to extinguish fires without direct human intervention. The system is designed to detect and extinguish fires quickly while reducing the risk of damage to property and human life. Engineer Yaqeen’s project can be used as a multipurpose fire-extinguishing system for homes and workplaces. The system consists of several important components, including motion sensors, a thermal sensor, a smoke detector, a GSM module, and a standard ABC dry powder extinguisher, along with other necessary tools and electronic components. The development of the system may take approximately one month or more, starting with collecting the required materials and planning the construction process. After assembling and programming the system, Engineer Yaqeen will test it carefully to ensure that there are no faults or damaged components. In the final stage, all programmed components and wires will be securely installed on the base, the wiring will be properly covered, and an outer cover will be added to give the system a safe, organized, and professional appearance.

Engineer Yaqeen has designed and developed a hybrid car standby power system that provides an additional source of electrical power, allowing the vehicle to continue operating when its main energy source is depleted. Engineer Yaqeen’s system uses two stepper motors installed on the vehicle’s wheels to generate electrical energy as the wheels rotate, along with a solar panel installed on the roof to generate additional energy from sunlight. The generated electrical energy is stored directly in the battery for later use. The vehicle is equipped with two batteries: a main car battery and an additional spare battery that acts as a backup power source when the main battery is drained. The main purpose of Engineer Yaqeen’s project is to provide a reliable standby power system that prevents the vehicle from stopping immediately when its primary energy source is exhausted. For example, if the vehicle normally has a driving range of approximately 700 km, the system automatically switches to the backup battery once the main power source is depleted, allowing the vehicle to continue operating. The switching process takes approximately one second, providing a fast and smooth transition between the main and standby power systems.
