I. Rationale

Light is very important when the night comes, its too difficult to see when the night
comes. Nowadays people seeking for a practical way on how to lessen their expenses
specially electric bill. Due to this problem we conduct this study to find another
source of free energy from mechanical energy to generate and empower light bulb.

Dynamo is an electrical generator that creates direct current using a commutator.

Dynamos were the first electrical generators capable of delivering electric power, and
the foundation upon which many other later electric-power conversion devices were
based, including the electric motor, the alternating-current alternator, and the rotary
converter. Today, the simpler alternator dominates large scale power generation, for
efficiency, reliability and cost reasons.

II. Objectives

1.To make another source of mechanical energy.

2. To prove the possibility of Dynamo as electric generator .

III. Statement of the problem

1. What are the components of Dynamo to use as electric generator?

2. What makes this product different from other chargeable electric generator?
IV. Review of Related Literature
The operating principle of electromagnetic generators was discovered in the
years 1831–1832 by Michael Faraday. The principle, later called Faraday's law, is
that an electromotive force is generated in an electrical conductor which encircles a
varying magnetic flux. He also built the first electromagnetic generator, called the
Faraday disk, a type of homopolar generator, using a copper disc rotating between the
poles of a horseshoe magnet. It produced a small DC voltage. This was not a dynamo
in the current sense, because it did not use a commutator. This design was inefficient,
due to self-cancelling counterflows of current in regions of the disk that were not
under the influence of the magnetic field. While current was induced directly
underneath the magnet, the current would circulate backwards in regions that were
outside the influence of the magnetic field. This counterflow limited the power output
to the pickup wires, and induced waste heating of the copper disc. Later homopolar
generators would solve this problem by using an array of magnets arranged around
the disc perimeter to maintain a steady field effect in one current-flow direction.
Another disadvantage was that the output voltage was very low, due to the single
current path through the magnetic flux. Faraday and others found that higher, more
useful voltages could be produced by winding multiple turns of wire into a coil. Wire
windings can conveniently produce any voltage desired by changing the number of
turns, so they have been a feature of all subsequent generator designs, requiring the
invention of the commutator to produce direct current.

VII. Definition of terms

Dynamo- is an electrical generator that creates direct current using a commutator.

Dynamos were the first electrical generators capable of delivering power for
industry, and the foundation upon which many other later electric-power
conversion devices were based, including the electric motor, the alternating-current
alternator, and the rotary converter.
Electric generator- is a device that converts motive power into electrical power for
use in an external circuit.
Magnet- is a material or object that produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field is
invisible but is responsible for the most notable property of a magnet: a force that
pulls on other ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, and attracts or repels other
magnets.
Coils of wires- is an electrical conductor such as a wire in the shape of a coil, spiral
or helix. Electromagnetic coils are used in electrical engineering, in applications
where electric currents interact with magnetic fields,is an electrical conductor such
as a wire in the shape of a coil, spiral or helix.
Switch- is an electronic power supply that incorporates a switching regulator to
convert electrical power efficiently.
VIII. Research Diagnostic

Aims: To analyze the feasibility and reliability of the dynamo as electrical

generator and if it can be used to generates other electrical devices.

Methods: Data resulting from independent randomly survey to the students of the
University of Mindanao at Matina campus were submitted to descriptive,
correlational, and inferential statistical analyses to evaluate selected questions to
determine if the product is helpful.

Results: Analyses of available data from chosen student of the University of

Mindanao revealed good to excellent reliability and validity of the product.
Specifically, data were presented comparing our product to other chargeable
electrical generator. Out of 10 ,9 rated the product very useful while 1 out of 10
rated low in terms of reliability and validity of the product.

Conclusion: The dynamo as electric generator is also reliable and valid in terms of
saving energy in households, but there’s a problem may vary because it can only last
depending on the power supply.
Research Local

The year 2016 is characterized by a significant increase in electricity

consumption at 10% and peak demand at 8.7% attributed to several factors such as
the increase in temperature and utilization of cooling equipment aggravated by the
strong El Niño, the conduct of National and Local elections during the first half of
the year, increase in economic growth, and entry of large power generating plants.
The residential and industrial sectors remained the major drivers of electricity
consumption in the country while Luzon remained the largest on a per grid
basis.Notably, the growth of the country’s supply base supplemented the increase in
demand with the growth of total installed capacity at 14% from 18,765 MWh (2017)
to 21,423 MWh (2018) majority coming from coal-fired power plants. Among the
three grids, Mindanao has the highest recorded growth in terms of capacity at 31%
from 2017-2018. From 2017-2025 a total of 5,068 MW committed projects are
expected to come online. The DOE is continuously encouraging investments in
power generation in view of the increasing peak demand which is expected to grow
by more than triple* in 2040.Along with supply security, the DOE also embarks on
increasing the reliability and resiliency of the system. In 2017, several yellow and red
alerts were declared by the system operator in Luzon and Visayas in addition to the
major grid disturbances and load dropping incidents.

I. Methodology

 Connect wires in the both dynamos( the positive and negative).

 Connect another wires for the electricity output(using the soldering iron and
lead).
 Connect the wires to the LED light bul(using the soldering iron and lead).
 Place the dynamo into the base using adhesives (you may use a plywood or
other hard wood).
 Connect the power source such as battery.

II. Research design

Designing a study helps the researcher to plan implement the study in a way
that will help the researcher to obtain intended results, thus increasing the chance
of obtaining information that could be associated with the real situation. In
conducting the study, the researcher will convey surveys among respondents
involved in the study. The materials that will be used are 10 survey form.

III. Respondents of the study

The respondents of this study will be the random students of the University of
Mindanao, The barangay officials such as the captain, The college of electrical
engineering. These respondents are the one who are knowledgeable to answer and
rate the product through the survey form.

IV. Data gathering procedure

Experimentation was the main tool used to gather data. It was conducted in the
Dynamo, the independent variable. And the feasibility of the electric generator as
the dependent variable
