TRANSFORMER
Block Diagram:
Transformers transfer alternating current (AC) electricity from one
voltage to another with little power loss. Transformers only function with
alternating current (AC), which is one of the reasons why mains power is
alternating current. Step-up transformers raise voltage, whereas step-
down transformers lower voltage. A step-down transformer is used in
most power supply to decrease the dangerously high mains voltage (230V
in India) to a safer low voltage.

The primary coil is the input coil, while the secondary coil is the
output coil. The two coils are not electrically connected; instead, they are
linked by an alternating magnetic field formed in the transformer's soft-
iron core. Because transformers lose relatively little electricity, the power
out is (almost) equal to the power in. It should be noted that when voltage
is reduced, current increases.

The transformer reduces the power supply voltage (0-230V) to (0-

is created by high-strength permanent magnets1. The stator is the
motor's stationary component, which contains the motor casing as well
as two or more permanent magnet pole parts. The rotor revolves
around the stator. The rotor is made up of windings (usually on a core),
which are electrically coupled to the commutator. The figure above
depicts a typical motor configuration, with the rotor enclosed by stator
(field) magnets. The brushes, commutator contacts, and rotor windings
are designed in such a way that when power is provided, the polarities
of the energized winding and the stator magnet(s) are mismatched,
causing the rotor to revolve until it is almost aligned with the stator's Figure 4.2(a) Arduino IDE Taskbar

However, in practice, DC motors will always have more than two

poles (three is a very common number). This avoids "dead spots" in
the commutator in particular. You can see how, in our two-pole motor
example, if the rotor is exactly in the center of its revolution
(completely aligned with the field magnets), it will become "stuck."

BLYNK APP

Blynk was created with the Internet of Things in mind. It can operate
gear remotely, show sensor data, save data, visualize it, and do a
variety of other fascinating things.
The platform is made up of three primary components:
 Blynk App - allows you to develop stunning interfaces for your
projects by utilizing the many widgets we offer.
 Blynk Server - is charge of all smartphone-to-hardware
communications You have the option of using our Blynk Cloud or
running your own private Blynk server locally. It's open-source,
capable of supporting thousands of devices, and can even run on a
Raspberry Pi.
 Blynk Libraries - Enable connectivity with the server and handle
all incoming and outgoing commands for all major hardware
platforms.
Consider this: whenever you hit a Button in the Blynk app, the message
is sent to the Blynk Cloud and mysteriously finds its way to your device.
It works in the reverse direction as well, and everything happens in the
blink of an eye.

providing multispeed arrangement. Stirrer mechanism can be used to
improve the oil removal rate.

6. RESULT

This oil skimmer is particularly successful in skimming oil spills

from the water's surface. It is also utilized in oil refineries near the
coast and other sectors that dispose of waste oil. In the event of a
mishap, the deep-water horizon rig areas can employ the sea swarm.
