Abstract

This study presents the design and development of an IoT-based nozzle actuator system intended to improve the accuracy and efficiency of automatic fish-feed distribution. The system was designed using an ESP32 microcontroller as the central controller, a servo motor as the nozzle-direction actuator, and the Blynk application as the remote monitoring and control interface. This configuration enables users to adjust the nozzle’s direction and feed-dispersion intensity through both manual control and scheduled timer modes. A series of experiments was conducted to evaluate mechanical performance, IoT connectivity stability, response time, and cross-device application compatibility. The experimental results indicate that the proposed system improves feed-distribution efficiency by 32.6% compared to conventional manual methods. Feed waste was reduced by 28.4% due to more uniform distribution and minimized overfeeding. The average command-to-actuator response time was measured at 0.82 seconds, demonstrating stable real-time performance. Application testing across five smartphone devices (Redmi 12, Huawei P30, Redmi Note 9, Samsung M23, and Little M3) achieved a 100% success rate for login, timer functions, and manual ON commands, confirming the reliability of the IoT control interface across multiple platforms. Compared with traditional automatic feeders, the developed prototype offers more precise nozzle orientation, flexible remote operation, and an adaptive feed-dispersion pattern. The integration of actuation mechanisms with IoT-based control provides a smarter and more efficient automation solution suitable for small- to medium-scale aquaculture systems. Overall, the findings demonstrate that the proposed design delivers superior distribution performance and operational flexibility, representing a meaningful advancement over existing feeding technologies.

Abstract

The effective science education requires practical methods that allow students to explore complex physics concepts. One promising approach is the use of physics experiment as an interactive media. This research focuses on the development of water rocket launcher using an Arduino as an innovative physics experiment. Arduino in water rocket launcher is used for making the precise control and relevant measurement of variables, such as angle of projection, speed of launch, maximum altitude of launch, and air pressure. The research process followed the ADDIE instructional design model and involved hardware, software prototyping, work testing, and user instruction. The launcher’s performance was tested with 33 engineering students and assessed by 5 experts. Expert evaluations rated the relevance, design, and usability of the kit highly (3.4–4.0 on a 4-point Likert scale). User responses from 33 students indicated strong agreement on ease of use and engagement (mean scores 3.79–3.91), with a high reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = .964). Experimental launches, using three and four finned rockets, showed maximum height percentage differences between theoretical and observed values ranging from 0.0%–52.6% (three fins) and 1.2%–51.8% (four fins); range errors were 3.4%–36.8% (three fins) and 2.1%–42.7% (four fins). The findings confirm that the Arduino-based water rocket launcher provides effective, interactive learning, though further refinement in data accuracy and instructional materials is recommended to maximize its classroom impact and is needed for improved accuracy.
