The controlledblower can emulate actual wind by changing wind speed and blower angle (wind direction). Thewind turbine and the generator unit convert wind energy into electricity. As seen from the figure,the generator output voltage regulating and conditioning circuit is built within the turbine hub.The converted wind energy can be used to charge the battery, to power external DC load and topower external AC load through an inverter.

At its mostfundamental level, the purpose of the circuit is to maintain the CCB at the desired temperatureusing two 50W AC heater elements. As shown in the diagram, there are four hardwaredebounced switches to allow the user to increase the desired temperature or time, decrease thesevalues, display system status or reset the system. There is also a sensor to determine if the CCBlid is ajar or off. The system will not heat when the lid is not properly in place.

Periodic meetings among the core team members resulted in aconsensus to conduct a FDP for engineering college teachers, not from IIT-M, who are studyingin IIT-M for their higher degrees under a nationally-sponsored scheme called the QualityImprovement Program (QIP). The core team organized this event, which was attended by 24participants, during August 2010. This event provided an opportunity for the core team membersto apply their insights acquired during the 2009 FDP to develop teaching methodologiesappropriate to Indian contexts and adapt their “teaching pedagogy” accordingly.
