    This research is used to crank start automotive vehicle. There are many different system used in order to start-up vehicles using electric starter, in the time of battery low-power or totally drained. The purpose of this research is to help the driver to get out of this difficulty. Nowadays there are many people that have experienced such a bad moment, where they are stranded at road side due to malfunction starter in their car because of battery problem. Most of the vehicle electric starter failure is because of battery corrosion or battery undercharged. The importance of this research is to solve this problem. Starter is a vital part of the vehicle, without it no automotive vehicles able to operate. These starters will rotate an internal-combustion engine to initiate the engine's operation under its own power. Starters also can be malfunction too due to corroded electrical connections or an undercharged battery. This system can be used to solve this problem. This system used human energy by using mechanical parts in order to produce electrical power. In order to produce electrical current, workforce will be applied by rotating the wheel that already linked by belt and from that rotations will trigger a magnetic force and it will produce an electrical current and supply it into battery. This system is divided into two development; hardware development and software development. The hardware development involved, mechanical device which is used and electrical device such as monitor. For software development, Fritzing is used to construct circuit.

    Malaysia is currently driven to become another most developed country in the world. Among other priority sector is Food Sustainability. Along the process, our vegetable supply-demand keeps increasing by year. Compared to traditional systems, closed systems or its other name called hydroponic is getting more important for plant production, with artificial light which has many potential advantages, including better quality transplants, shorter production time and less resource use. To gain full profit from it, the quality of vegetables needs to be controlled efficiently. Climate conditions, especially temperature and light intensity, have a significant impact on vegetable growth and yield, as well as nutritional quality. Plant growth and development are influenced by a variety of environmental factors, the most important one is light intensity. Among the problems to be tackled in this research are plant growth manual observation, light intensity variation and abundance of growth-related data to be evaluated manually. Therefore, to solve these problems, the specific type of vegetable used here is lettuce. The proposed methods are, observation of plant growth conducted automatically round the clock in intervals of 15 minutes for the whole month (estimated mature period of lettuce), using images captured. At the same time, the proposed light intensity which is red & white to the ratio of 2:1 (optimum ratio recommended by previous researchers) will be used. The issue of data to be evaluated manually will be solved using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) architecture, in specific Deep Learning. Concisely, the results & analysis shows the research is successfully developed for plant growth monitoring by using artificial neural network which, reached 80% to 90% accuracy in the training and validation session that made the architecture sufficient for determining the growth of the said vegetable. This is indeed foreseen, will highly assist the farmer in better monitoring the growth rate of the plant.
