Design and Implementation of a Fuelless Electricity Generator using Readily Available and Recycled Materials
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper presents the design and implementation of a fuelless generator using readily available and recycled materials. The fuelless generator is a device that generates energy without consuming traditional fuel sources like gasoline, coal or natural gas. This research was designed to provide a sustainable and affordable energy solution for off-grid communities, especially in rural areas with limited access to electricity. The generator harnesses the power of renewable and electromechanical energy sources combined with innovative engineering techniques, to generate electricity without the need for conventional fuels. The design process compared coupling of alternator, DC motor with battery charged and without charge circuit. The result shows that the machine had a peak efficiency of 89.8% at a load of 100 watts and the lowest efficiency of 20.6% at a load of 1600 watts without charging system compared to peak efficiency of 91.2% at a load of 100 watts and the lowest efficiency of 28.1% at a load of 1600 watts with charging system. The performance evaluation demonstrated that the fuelless generator was capable of reliably generating electricity from renewable energy sources, providing a sustainable and affordable energy solution for off-grid communities.
