CONCLUSIONS, LIMITATIONS AND PROJECTS

5.1 Limitations and Scop o! t" P#o$ct

5.1.1 P#o$ct Scop

Its scope is not limited to the school level but it is a project that can be

commercialized. The best feature of our innovation projects is that the Furrado

device could contacts the user automatically when the water rises to a hazard

level. The scope of this innovation project is aplenty since can be used at school

level as a teaching aid and in the meantime it can be commercialized as an early

flood warning tool to the public.

5.1.% Limitation P#o$ct

 Among the problems faced by the group members to carry out this project are:

 

i. Limited amount of allocated time given a lot of other constraints

such as sports days e!aminations and other needs to be accounted

for. "owever after countless sacrifices in terms time and efforts the

design process of the device did finish in time.ii. #ircuit connection problem and complicate matters when using delicate

and small components. Therefore we have referred to the techniciansfrom $%T%&%LA 'enang to help with circuitry.

iii. Financial constraints limited the alarming capability of the alarm system.

If more advanced siren is used the device is capable of warning more

residents.

The project fits into practice either as a teaching aid for teachers of 'hysics by

serving as a model for teaching and learning. In addition to its low cost the flood

detector project can help improve student(s initial understanding of the basic

concepts of electricity and nurture creativity of the students from engineering

perspective. As a product the project will assist the user in the design of flood

alarm system to alert the community to ma)e early preparations. The project is

also e!pected to produce an alarm system that can deal with daily life easier to

meet the tastes and needs of the consumers. The product is also e!pected to

provide early flood monitoring that is efficient and able to avoid losses relating to

flooding.

*y analyzing the results F+&A,,% model has the potential to be developed andaccepted by residents or commercialized in the open mar)et. Through a survey

that have been conducted some thoughts and suggestions are made for

improvements to this model. Among the recommendations made are:

i . ,evelop a model that has a wireless alarm

ii . *uild a more structured model

iii . -nlarge the model size so that the user can see it more clearly

iv . L-, model should be structured comprehensively

v . The model pipes reuire more details

5.* Conc+&sion

From this study it can be concluded that Furaddo is a device that can detect rising

water level that can lead to flooding. It can alert the community by producing

sound and light signals in the event of a flood. This device will ma)e a sound as

soon as the water touches the /sensor( at the highest hazard level. The sound

emitted by the device helps residents to prepare in advance in case of a severe

flooding. Furthermore this device shows the water level through its sound system

by sounding out alarms and lights at each pre0specified water level. This device is

also suitable for a home owner to use and it can be installed depending on the

type of gutter and the riverban) by some modifications to the device.

Furaddo is also e!pected to provide flood alarms in our daily lives and is able to

satisfy and be utilised by consumers for an early flood monitoring system which is

easier and more efficient.
