Abstract

Due to the effects of the change in temperature that have resulted in dramatic changes in the livelihoods of crickets. Hence, the implementation of cooling technologies is an important factor for alleviating these negative consequences. This research presents the experimentally investigate the feasibility of employing a thermoelectric cooler in combination with an evaporative air-cooling system for two-spotted cricket (Gryllus bimaculatus) rearing process. The proposed cooling system has been installed to reduce the temperature that appropriate for the cricket rearing. The experimental results show that the product air temperature of cricket rearing pens with thermoelectric evaporative air-cooling system decreases form ambient air. The average temperature of the cricket rearing pens with thermoelectric evaporative air-cooling system is 29.66 °C, with the highest temperature at 31.40 °C. While the average temperature of the cricket rearing pens without thermoelectric evaporative air-cooling system is 33.75 °C, with the highest temperature at 37.10 °C. Furthermore, this research also shows that this proposed system can improve cricket survival rate. The crickets that reared in the prototype system have a survival rate of 88.5%, while survival rate of crickets in an uncontrolled pen is 67.2%. This paper provides a potential of applying thermoelectric evaporative air-cooling for cricket farming.

Abstract

Due to the development of wireless communications, there has been a growth in the use of IoT devices and sensor nodes. A potential power source for powering equipment in remote or inaccessible locations is necessary. This research investigates the feasibility of employing digital television (DTV) signals as an energy harvesting system, with a focus on RF-DC conversion using a voltage multiplier circuit. Commercial 5 and 9 element yagi-uda antennas are used as receiver for ambient DTV signal. The device’s performance is initially evaluated within the laboratory setting, it has been shown that when the RF signal generator is at 660 MHz, the proposed energy harvesting device can generate a maximum DC voltage of 781.3 mV and 1056.4 mV for 5 and 9 element antenna, respectively. This is based on measurement of voltage output when using the input signal from DTV base stations in Thailand. It was found that the voltage output levels decreased gradually with increasing distance ranging from 153.4 V at 0.1 km to 4.5 mV at 10 km for 5 element yagi-uda antenna. In contrast, the 9-element yagi-uda antenna consistently exhibited higher voltage levels, ranging from 354.7 mV at 0.1 km to 12.6 mV at 10 km.
