A DESIGN ANALYSIS OF ELECTRIC HARVESTER BASED ON MAGNETIC CONCEPT FOR SHIP MOTION

Abstract

The represent study is to generate the electricity by converting from the kinetic energy using the magnetic concept. The magnetic concept used in this research is electromagnetic induction. These studies consist of three main step such as design, construct the model prototypes and test and analysis. The design aim to creating new design approach by adding different factors such are the magnet size, the number of coil turn and also the diameter of coil The design as construct using AutoCAD as the 2D view and SolidWorks as 3D view. For the system, circuit diagram was used in order to find the suitable circuit for the system. For the model prototypes, the material used are plywood and PVC pipe for the inductors as the main material due to its light weight and its correspond to the magnet shape used. During test and analysis stage, two types of magnet with different sizes were used. Besides, the research also tested with different number of coil turn and also diameter of copper coil. In can be state that this project achieved to generate the electrical energy but in a small amount of electric. The prototypes only can produce small amount of electric because of the loss of energy due to the friction force, magnetic flux and technical error when conducting the projects. The significant of this study as the platform knowledge to new research to study more about the electric harvester that based of magnetic concept.
