CHAPTER 5

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This chapter contains the summary of findings, conclusions and recommendations

made after a thorough study.

Summary of Findings

Based on the observations during the testing of the prototype, insect, like

cockroaches is not recognized for its potential as an alternative solution that could help

our energy needs. This is just a start on what the study can do.The prototype would be a

big help in the community when since the place was fitted on the project in terms of the

wind speed.

Wind power technology is the various infrastructure and process that promote

harnessing wind generation for mechanical power and electricity. This basically entails

the wind and characteristics related to its strength and direction, as well as the functioning

of both internal and external components of a wind turbine with respect to wind behavior.

The main objective of this study was to design and develop a Magnetic Levitation

Wind Power Generator that produces electricity. The project study specifically aimed to

make some experimentation in the proper sizing of coils and its number of turns. The

researchers tried and tested some kinds of coil differ from its thicknesses and number of

turns and came up with using the number 28 magnetic coil with 1200 turns that produced

an output of 14.58Vdc that can lit the 5 watts DC bulb in a stable manner.

The initial procedure conducted by the researchers was planning and

conceptualizing a project. Engineers were consulted for some advice which helped the

deficiency of electric power.

 After this procedure, the researchers conducted simple but informative interviews

and information with the right persons for good suggestions that may be contributed in

constructing the project. And the gathered concepts and ideas were used as basis in

constructing the preliminary ideas on the requirements for choosing the project supplies

and materials as well as tools and equipment for the development of the design. All the

information necessary for the project was obtained.

Test and revision were done to finish the prototype. The mechanism of the

prototype must be well-operated and ready for testing. These were followed by finalization

of the prototype. In this part, researchers applied again their artistic ability to make the

appearance of prototype better. Evaluation of the prototype during the presentation in the

final defense.

Based on the data gathered during the course of the study, the following are the

findings:

1. The Magnetic Levitation Wind Power Generator converts the wind current into electrical

energy that can be used as source of electricity.

2. Based on the testing conducted by the researchers on the location, the power output

depends on the wind speed. The higher the revolution per minute (rpm), the higher the

output current.

3. Sharp wind speed occurs from 12:00-2:00pm. Therefore, higher output is being form.

This will give higher voltage and current outputs.

Conclusions

After several months of working with the project and prototype, the researchers

found out the following about The Design Development of Cockroach LED Lamp.
1. a. The researchers has successfully determined the output voltage of Cockroaches in

both Male and Female using Individual and Series Testing. It can be concluded that the

output voltage of 1 volt from the cockroaches to battery was attained because of parallel

connection of the voltage booster and supercapacitors.

b. The Design Development of Cockroach LED Lamp was successfully stabilize the 1 volt

output to the battery using the circuit of voltage booster and supercapacitors connected

in parallel with the Cockroaches.

2. The Design Development of Cockroach LED Lamp was successfully determine the

performance level of each individual and series Cockroaches, alive and dead and at

different gender.

3. The researchers was successfully determine the design of the Cockroach Container

for easy installation and connection. As the number of subjects per disk increases the

output will increase proportionally. Based on the test for eight (8) Male and eight (8)

Female Alive Cockroaches, the tester reads an output voltage of 1.165 and 1.239 volts

respectively and when the 8 Male and 8 Female Cockroaches is connected in series, the

output voltage is 2.406 volts. Based on the test for eight (8) Male and eight (8) Female

Dead Cockroaches, the tester reads an output voltage of 1.208 and 1.346 volts

respectively and when the 8 Male and 8 Female Cockroaches is connected in series, the

output voltage is 2.554 volts.

Recommendations

After obtaining the results during the research and experiments conducted, the

following are hereby recommended:

1. Future researchers must get the accurate details about this study such as the type of

materials that must be used and other factors that will affect the electronic aspects of the

prototype especially the amount of time it will take for a battery to charge.

2. Future researchers can make further study on the prototype with other applications.

3. Future researchers can put another set of cockroach disk and electrodes at the top of

the 3D prototype to increase the expected output voltage.

4. Future researchers may apply electronics principle to improve the circuit of the

prototype.

5. Future researchers may use the improved prototype for better applications that may

help the community.
