Background of the Study
Background of the Study
The Philippines has two
seasons, wet and dry.
unexpected tropical
storms occur.
A lot of casualties are left
when the typhoons
strike.
Objectives of the Study
Improvise a circuit;
Gather the materials and tools needed for the
construction;
Construct the improvised device;
Objectives of the Study
Test the functionality of the device on the
basis of water detection and alarm system.
Significance of the Study
Help warn people of an incoming
flood, especially at night
Decrease the casualties and damage of
properties
Scope and Limitations
Limited to one pair of sensors
For detection of flood
electrical power source (1.5V batteries)
Positioning or placing of the device depends
on the area
Materials and Methods
Materials Needed:
1 Megaphone
2 Resistors(10KΩ and
56 K Ω)
1 Integrated Circuit
(555 timer)
3 Capacitors (two
0.01 µF and a 47µF)
Wires (At least one
meter)
6 1.5V batteries
Materials and MethodsSchematic Diagram of the Circuit
Materials and methodsConstruction of the Device:
Improvised a Circuit
Gathering of the Device
Materials
Attaching the megaphone
to the circuit
Assembling of the Device
Materials and MethodsTesting of the Device:
Sensors are submerged in water
The megaphone made the
expected alerting sound
MATERIALS AND METHODSOperation of the Device:
1. Electrodes are
immersed in
water, simultaneously.
2. Circuit is triggered
3. Megaphone
Wails
Materials and MethodsGathering of Data:
Evaluation of the Device
(Functionality, Efficiency, Safety, and
Aesthetics)
Calculation and Recording of Gathered
Data
RESULTS OF EVALUATIONI. Functionality and Efficiency
The device rings when in
contact with water.
The device stops ringing when
already away from water.
The electrodes are consistent in
sensing water.
The device is user-friendly and
easy to use.

RESULTS OF EVALUATIONSafety
The device does not emit
smoke, burning smell and/or spark
while being used.
The device does not overheat
easily.
There are no wires or internal
components exposed in the
enclosure.
The device does not, in any
way, harm the user.
The components of the device do
not blow up or short circuit.

Analysis OF GATHERED DATA
Those who evaluated the device:
Think it is efficient in alerting people in case
of flood
Think it is safe to use.
ANALYSIS OF GATHERED DATA
The researchers are focusing on improving
its appearance to achieve a higher rating
and for it to attract more buyers.
the device fulfills the main objective of the
study.
It can efficiently alert people when there is a
flood occurring.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended:
to use a larger siren for a larger range of
homes to be alerted
To use a 220-Volt source
to incorporate the power-utilization property
of emergency lights (in case of blackouts)
