Abstract:

Senku01 is a device designed to generate electricity from the kinetic energy of flowing water using piezoelectric materials. The primary objective of this research was to optimize the device's efficiency in capturing electrical energy. Senku01 is made of acrylic glass as a cover and an angle bar as a support. This was done using a grinder to cut the acrylic glass to its appropriate size, silicone to glue it to the frame, and a rivet gun to make it stick tighter. When piezoelectric is installed, a vulcaseal is applied to isolate the device. The device used a parallel circuit for the wiring connection. When the device was tested on the bulingan falls, it was gently placed in the place where it should be set up. As water falls toward the device, it generates electrical energy. Getting the results is done by using the multimeter manually. It was found that piezoelectric harvesting was able to produce an amount of voltage. The researcher got 665.392 mV on average per hour and 15.969 volts on average per day. Overall, the researcher concluded that Senku01 has harvested a low amount of voltage. Not enough to charge a battery. To enhance the device's performance, several modifications are recommended. The design should be adjusted to maximize the impact of water on the piezoelectric elements. Additionally, the device's front should be positioned higher to increase the pressure exerted by the water, leading to a higher voltage output.
