Abstract

One way to overcome the current shortage of electrical energy is to develop a good and environmentally friendly alternative power generator for household consumption. This research is to design a power generator by utilizing recycled goods as alternative household electricity. utilization of recycled goods in the form of a dynamo (DC generator) from a toy car and a swing motor that is no longer used which can produce electrical energy by rotating the generator through a toy dynamo. Utilizing the function of the generator is to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. From the results of the analysis of the difference in load carried out using 2, 7, 10, 12 and 14 Watt lamps, the lowest voltage produced is 103 Volts at a speed of 2872.3 rpm in a 14 Watt lamp, and the highest voltage produced is 186 Volts at a speed of 3654.1 rpm in a 2 Watt lamp load. Based on the analysis of load differences using 2, 7, 10, 12, and 14-watt lamps, the lowest current produced was 0.01 A at 2872.3 rpm for the 14-watt lamp, and the highest current produced was 0.04 A at 3613.4 rpm for the 12-watt lamp. The generator, operated at no load at 4476.6 rpm, produced a voltage of 237.6 volts and a current of 0.05 A.
