WEEK 5: DESIGN HYDROELECTRIC PROTOTYPE

Objectives: 

• To build an proper hydroelectric prototype.
• To build a device that can convert the mechanical flow energy (water) into usable electric energy.
• To make an enclose, since the hydroelectric use a turbine, act to prevent a water leakage.

Content / Procedure: 

• Make a research about suitable material like PVC, aquarium, metal and so on.
• Done a cost analysis towards suitable material.
• Make an early design by using an AUTOCAD software to visualize the prototype.
• Make an early survey while buying the material.

Result and Analysis:

• I'm begin to considering a suitable frame towards this mater.
• I'm decided to work with something easy to deal with, strong and light as possible. The material should be a non - conductor. 
• This leads mine to choose a PVC pipe and plastic aquarium, while the turbine and shaft part will be hold by it's shaft installed on the metal frame.  
• The early design using an AUTOCAD software are been done, and the design is  was shown below:

FRAME SCHEMATIC: TURBINE BOX

FRAME SCHEMATIC: BELOW

• As the PVC pipe is non - conductor which will greatly prevent any electric shock dangers while i work in the wet environment such as bathroom, toilet and so on.
• The cost also is considerably affordable and not too high.
• This is an early design, an any modification towards the hydroelectric prototype are been a analysed during troubleshooting.

Conclusions

• I'm getting a final listing for prototype component.
• The prototype design must be done according the specification in order to achieve an great performance.
• This part is essential; have many benefit towards the project, such as safety precaution, prevent water leakage, made a features and so on.
