The fuel-less generator That Uses A Rechargechagle Battery by Timilehin & Taiwo

FEATURE
This is perhaps the most beautiful time in human history; it is really pregnant with all kinds of creative possibilities made possible by science and technology which now constitute the slave of man - if man is not enslaved by it. -Jonas Salk. We all live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology; inventions come in day after day leaving the minds of individuals in awe.
The development of different ways to generate power has risen high beyond mans individual thoughts such as the use of magnetic energy to generate power is not a new idea but it is being developed as a real and viable alternative to conventional methods, this new set of generator, the Magnetic Generators do not need fuel in order to function and will operate no matter what the weather is doing.
A young scientist in covenant university (Tayo an Industrial Physics student of Covenant University, three hundred level) invents a fuel less electrical generator system (it can be turned on in three different unusual ways)
Covenant university known for her goal of raising a new generation of leaders; always works towards its goal and actually achieves them. Very shortly, a young scientist in the department of industrial physics in Covenant University is going to launch a fuel less electrical generator system that uses a rechargeable battery; It’s special qualities includes: it uses a rechargeable battery, instead of fuel or diesel, it can be turned on through, wireless, wired, and manual control.
How It Works With Wireless: use of mobile phone to turn the generator on at vast distance (anywhere you are).
How It Works With the Wired Connection: The wired connection is the one you can turn on, near your change over switch; the normal way a generator is turned on.
Manual: one can be controlled on the generator itself.
According to the young inventor, if the invention works out perfectly it can be used in cars , and other transporting systems.
It started from a very small portable electrical generator 3kva but the fabrication was not okay; but the scratch he discovered led the new fabrication on the present ones. The big one has been upgraded. The generator is going to be displayed during Tech week (an annual invention meant to showcase new inventions and developments from the college of science and technology of Covenant University. next year.
In electricity generation, an electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. The reverse conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is done by a motor; motors and generators have many similarities. A generator forces electrons in the windings to flow through the external electrical circuit. It is somewhat analogous to a water pump, which creates a flow of water but does not create the water inside. The source of mechanical energy may be a reciprocating or turbine steam engine, water falling through a turbine or waterwheel, an internal combustion engine, a wind turbine, a hand crank, compressed air or any other source of mechanical energy.
Before the connection between magnetism and electricity was discovered, electrostatic generators were invented that used electrostatic principles. These generated very high voltages and low currents. They operated by using moving electrically charged belts, plates and disks to carry charge to a high potential electrode. The charge was generated using either of two mechanisms:
• Electrostatic induction
• The triboelectric effect, where the contact between two insulators leaves them charged.
Because of their inefficiency and the difficulty of insulating machines producing very high voltages, electrostatic generators had low power ratings and were never used for generation of commercially significant quantities of electric power. The Wimshurst machine and Van de Graaff generator are examples of these machines that have survived.
In 1827, Hungarian Anyos Jedlik started experimenting with electromagnetic rotating devices which he called electromagnetic self-rotors. In the prototype of the single-pole electric starter (finished between 1852 and 1854) both the stationary and the revolving parts were electromagnetic. He formulated the concept of the dynamo at least 6 years before Siemens and Wheatstone but didn't patent it as he thought he wasn't the first to realize this. In essence the concept is that instead of permanent magnets, two electromagnets opposite to each other induce the magnetic field around the rotor. It was also the discovery of the principle of self-excitation.

    piece of writing at this place at this blog, I have read all that, so at this time me also commenting
