PROJECT PROPOSAL ON RAIN DETECTOR

INTRODUCTION:

WA rain sensor or rain switch is a switching device activated by rainfall.

Rain Alarm Project is a simple but very useful project that detects Rain (Rain Water) and automatically triggers
an alarm or buzzer.

Water is a basic need in every one’s life. Saving water and proper usage of water is very important. Here is an
easy project which will give the alarm when there is rain, so that we can make some actions for rain water
harvesting and also save the rain water for using it later.

With the help of saving this rain water through rain water harvesting, we can increase the levels of underground
water by using underwater recharge technique.

Rain water detector will detect the rain and make an alert; rain water detector is used in the irrigation field,
home automation, communication, automobiles etc. Here is the simple and reliable circuit of rain water detector
which can be constructed at low cost.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

APPARATUS

1)9 V battery

2)connecter
 3)buzzer & indicator

4)small bottel cap

5)led

6)NPN transister BC 547

7)large size wooden sheet

8)CIRCUIT BOARD

Description Of Each Component:

1)9 V Battery:

A standard 9V battery has about 400-600 mAh capacity. In the most basic terms, these batteries can supply
about 500 milliamps for one hour

The Ultralife 10 Year Smoke Detector Battery is the only 9V battery warranted to last10 years.

2) Connector:

A device for keeping two parts of an electric circuit in contact

3) Buzzer & Indicator:

Typical uses of buzzers and beepers include alarm devices, timers. It is used in rain detector so that beep on
touching water with circuit board.

4) Bottle Cap:

Bottle cap is used to put water on circuit board

5) Led:

A light-emitting diode is a semiconductor light source that emits light when current flows through it.LED is
used in rain detector so that it glow with beep and indicate the changes

6) NPN transister BC 547:

BC547 is an NPN bi-polar junction transistor. A transistor, stands for transfer of resistance, is commonly
used to amplify current. A small current at its base controls a larger current at collector & emitter
terminals. BC547 is mainly used for amplification and switching purposes

7)Large size wooden sheet:

It is the stage of the whole system on which whole circuit is fixed.

8)Circuit board:
A printed circuit board mechanically supports and electrically connects electronic components or electrical
components.

9)switch: Switch is used to turn off or turn on the circuit

WORKING OF PROJECT:

This electronic project rain alarm circuit will give you an indication of rain with the help of an LED. This
circuit can also be connected to a buzzer to sound an alarm. Detect rain and save some water or use it for
different applications in different fields such as home automation, automobiles BC547 transistor is the main
component in this circuit. Circuit completes when rain make the sensor wet. If there is no rain there will be no
conduction between the wires in the sensor. So the circuit will not be active. If the sensor wires start conduction
due to rain droplets, circuit gets activated. As a result transistor BC547 starts switching and will drive an LED
to show the status of rain.

Observation and calculation:

The entitle of project the “RAIN DETECTOR” project is essential for fertilizers and for home purposes, the
main purpose is to avoid mental stress and to prevent material for rain.

CONCLUSIONS:

This is the project can construct easily using simple electronic component, we are aware about it advantages and
construction of rain detector…..
