Abstract

Today, the world is going to explore new technologies. However, today's technology is to laugh at tomorrow. As a part of it an energy conversation system is ever green latest trends due to globalization. No matter how much new skills are always in demand for low cost items. In this paper, an energy convertor is designed and manufacturedto convert mechanical energy into electrical energy at reasonable cost. The device consists of mechanical chain drives run by power motor used for some particular purpose. A specialized Magnetis attached to the disc at one side of crank shaft and a copper coil is placed exactlyparallel to the disc half-inch distance and entire setup encapsulated in a frame. A general motor bike rechargeable battery has been used to store the electrical energy. During crank rotation with magnetic an induced current opposes the copper coil generates eddy-current and electrical energy. Finally the whole process is examined and tested to be the best of it.
