Generation of Electricity Using Sand

Abstract

Conserving energy has become the biggest issue in the present scenario. This paper proposes an economical and affordable method for the design and manufacturing of sand power generation. Due to the development and modernization, the electricity demand is increasing to the high extent. To overcome this demand globally effectively without any destructive effect on the environment is possible by using sand power generation. The sand is available abundantly on the surface of the earth. The basic concept of Sand power generation is, the sand Power generator is a simple technology, more economical, more effortless can meet from domestic (household) to average power requirements. In this process, ordinary sand placed in the main funnel is allowed to fall on the blades of a sand wheel through conveyor belts which leads to rotate the turbine, which is used to generate power and stored in a DC battery. The concept of sand power generation is simple. When sand moves down from the higher altitude to lower one its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. This motion is converted into rotational motion and that rotational motion is converted into electricity by using a Mini DC generator.
