The main component in the project is the generator. At this stage, the first prototype was built to generate voltage and current for the system. The main material involved in this prototype are;
1. 0.25mm (d) of enameled copper wire
2. 40mm (d) x 10mm (h) Neodymium magnet
3. 50mm (id) x 80mm (h) pvc tube
4. Single phase 1.0 amp Bridge Rectifiers.
In this first prototype we have the coil wounded for 300 turn (N). Both end of the copper wire were connected to the bridge rectifier. The (+) and (-) output terminal of the rectifier is connected with the wire to use as a probe for test.
The first bench test was conducted on 31 November 2011. The computer oscilloscope was used to capture the peak voltage from the generator. At this stage, the induced magnetic field generates small voltage were detected. Figure below shows the peak voltage generated by the generator (0.962v).
From the test result, we agreed that the peak voltage and current generated are too small for the project objective. We need to improve the generator design in some areas in order to amplify the output.

A job well done today with the the proto-type bro. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't a significant amount of induced voltage, but I am certain there are a few areas that we can address to improve the generator output.
We should discuss this further and move forward from here.
