Description
Summary:The need for renewable energy causes a lot of research related to energy harvesting. Much research on renewable energy has been carried out on the topic of energy measurement. The energy produced is still low, this is due to the selection of the generator that is not quite right. In general, research on energy harvesting uses motors as generators with high rotation. In this study, a generator design simulation was carried out to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. The simulation uses PhET simulation. The simulation is carried out by changing the speed of the magnet, changing the distance between the coil and the magnet, the intensity of the magnet, and the number of coil turns. The simulation results obtained for an AC power generator depend on the location of the coil, the configuration of the coil, the number of turns of the coil, the type of magnet, the distance between the magnets, and the orientation of the rotating magnets and speed. The importance of this research students can find out the factors to increase the voltage generated from the generator.
