This project is all about electromagnetic induction; something which we could have used so far but we but couldn’t have any idea about it.
Today, the world around us is full of all sort of wirings with electricity flowing in them and hardly is there some place in the civilized world where we can’t find it.
Sound in the form of noise is generally present everywhere we go. It may range from a library-like conversation to a sound of a jet taking off. However, this “noise” dissipates into our environment and without it being utilized at all. Energy in the form of mechanical vibrations, by which sound is governed,
GENERATING ELECTRICITY FROM PLANT'S STEAM BOILER USING OIL PALM EMPTY FRUITS BUNCHES, A WASTE PRODUCT AS ENERGY SOURCE.
INTRODUCTION.
This invention is based on using Oil Palm Empty Fruits bunches as Energy source to produce electricity in the villages and cities. The biggest problem in Nigeria is Electricity.
The idea and concept of generating electric power from commercial vehicles is to maximize the use of renewable sources and to minimize our dependency on fossil fuels. The visualization of this idea is to mount wind turbines tunnels on top of commercial vehicles (buses/trains ) to generate large amount of electricity.
