A Fuelless Generator using Flywheels
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Fuelless Generator
Abstract
Conventional power generation methods are heavily dependent on fossil fuels, which deplete finite resources and contribute to environmental degradation. This reliance has led to air pollution, climate change, and an energy landscape characterized by volatility and supply disruptions. It is evident that a transition to more sustainable and efficient energy generation methods is imperative. The primary aim of this research was to comprehensively explore the design and implementation of fuel-less generators using flywheels, considering the most current technological advancements and real-world applications. The fuel less generator design was achieved using the principle of electromagnetic self-excited induction power generation. The motor converts the electric energy into mechanical energy and the shaft is connected to the shaft of the alternator directly through a thick rubber that will greatly mitigates the vibration and shock transmitted between the two machines, and can reduce maintenance time significantly. In other to keep the system running and to maintain the power supply to the load the electric energy has to be recycled. A charging unit is also included in the system, for the purpose of recharging the battery. It was found to create a voltage of 180V and 12A at a speed of 1200 rpm. It was from this premise the resultant power was determined and consequently the general effectiveness of the framework assessed 75.9%. The result shows an efficient fuelless generator.
