WEEK 10: PULLEY SYSTEM

Objectives: 
  • To find a problem of hydroelectric prototype.
  • To analyse the prototype performance.
  • To solve a problem occur within time limit.
Content / Procedure: 
  • Make a component test towards such as alternator, battery and rotation of the turbine.
  • Ensure the right configuration has been done.
  • Do a component test. Check the rotation of the turbine and the alternator shaft using tachometer.
  • To identify the problem by doing a research, ask a supervisor and get a consult from wireman.
Result and Analysis:
  • I'm done a test about alternator part and found another problem that need to be solve quickly. This is involved about alternator also.
  • The rotation of the turbine shaft was not fast enough to achieve a standard speed of alternator in order to produce a voltage.
  • The car alternator needed at least 1600 rotation per minute to produce an approximately 12 V voltage. The battery must always connected to give an excitation voltage towards alternator.
  • This problem has been solved by done a little modification towards prototype design by instaling a pulley system in order to make a fast rotation. The hydroelectric prototype before and after modification are been shown below.




  • As we see above, i made some modification towards hydroelectric prototype. In the early mounting, the design has already finish and been test, but some problems occur and need to be solve. 
  • The modification involve is the figure of the turbine, make a pulley system, stand, and mounting to increase the rotation of alternator shaft ( into 1600 rpm) and make it more attractive. 
  • The bearing shaft also has been modified in order to reduce a resonance during the rotation.

Conclusions
  • The problem has been solving successfully and get the right response of alternator.
  • When the modification need to be done, the cost also will be increase.
  • Shaft rotation timing, angle of shaft and the bearing is important to produce an optimum rotation.
