Magnetic Material Generator for Producing Electricity from Mechanical Energy in Air Conditioner Condenser Unit

Abstract

This research aimed to study the possibility of producing the electricity from mechanical energy in the condensing unit of air conditioner. The electrical generator with the capacity of around 28 W was operated with the rotor motor of the condensing unit of air conditioner. Then, the electricity generator was tested with the room dimension of 6.60 m x 5.15 m x 2.60 m. The quantity of electric voltage, current, power, ambient and room temperature, ambient and room humidity was recorded for 3 days during a working period from 8 am to 5 pm. The results show that the electrical generator with the capacity of 28 W is suitable because it was not a load of motor in the condensing unit which was checked by the rotation frequency. Approximately 0.065 A of current, 85 V of voltage and 5.5 W of electrical power were constantly produced from the generator during the period of 8 am to 5 pm. The potential of electricity generation was around 14.1 W/day.
