Technologies To Watch In 2023

We have been writing about emerging technologies all year long. Which of these will matter to you in 2023?

Nuclear Bomb And RADIATION DETECTION DEVICE

Nuclear radiation is one of the most dangerous killers for the living. The atomic radiation needs to be detected at an early stage, otherwise it can be devastating within its area of influence. The radiation kills not only humans, it also destroys all natural habitat. It is important to avoid harm and mass destruction that can be caused by nuclear weapons and reactors nearby.

WEATHER STATION Using STM32 (Blue Pill) And ThingSpeak loT

This simple weather station detects environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and soil moisture. The temperature and humidity sensor DHT11 used measures the atmospheric temperature while the soil moisture sensor measures moisture in the earth. Block diagram of the project is shown in Fig. 1.

THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM For Electric Vehicles

Recently some electric bikes caught fire due to failure of battery management system because of poor battery design. Unfortunately, proper thermal management is not there in most electric vehicles at present. So, here is a project to monitor the battery temperature and smoke detection to alert the EV user and stop the EV well in time to avoid further damage.

Remote Controlled CORONA PROTECTION BELL

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that everyone should rub their hands with soap for at least 20 seconds before washing with water to prevent transmission of the novel Corona virus, which is again on rise, in addition to social distancing.

Temperature Controlled SWITCH

This simple temperature controlled circuit triggers automatically when the ambient temperature goes beyond a set limit of, say, 50 degrees centigrade. This temperature setting can be changed as per requirement through the potentiometer in the circuit.
