Human Tracking Fan System

Fan is one of the most important tool that human beings have ever developed.First fan came into existence in India.The punkah fan was used in the India in the early 500 BC. It had a canvas covered frame that was suspended from the ceiling. Servants, known as punkawallahs, pulled a rope connected to the frame to move the fan back and forth.In 19th century Industrial Revolution took place and fan kept on evolving ever since.

What's the significance in Fan in Modern World?

Fan is the most important electronic machine for poor living all across the world. It is not costly as Air conditioners and coolers, runs on low power and easy to carry(table fan).

The only problem with table fan is its inefficiency, we need to adjust it according to our position or start its motor which rotates it all over the place in 180 degrees and wasting its power by directing air at empty spaces for much of the rotation cycle.

What is Human Tracking Fan System ?

We are trying to build a fan which can track human and adjust itself according to the position of a person sitting in a room.

How it works ?

It consists of two PIR Sensors which can detect person sitting position because humans typically radiate more infra-red light than their surroundings, such as a wall for instance, detecting motion is fairly simple.
