Heat generator

Okay, so here it goes, another story of my life, but from the engineering and scientific point of view. (This is the first post about it).  Just a week ago, my lab mates showed me one of my lab’s creations which I cannot upload the photo (I don’t have any permission to upload photos, but u can check it in my facebook). This device is an experiment for power generator by using heat energy or we usually call it ‘thermal’.

This is how it works : You can see the device which look like a circular windmill. If you see it more closely, then you would find the tiny magnetic dices on the outer parts of the circular windmill’s periphery. And there are also some magnetic dices that are stacked below the windmill. These magnetic dices’ colour is gold, and the magnetic dices around the windmill periphery’s colour is black. The gold magnetic dices are stacked (statically) as well as possible so that if the windmill starts rolling, the black ones and the gold one will have a really tiny space between them, that normally will evoke the magnetic force between them.

Okay, but in this device, you should put the device in hot water. The hotter the water is, the better result you’ll get. But you just soak it until the height of the water reaches 3/4 of the gold dices’ height. The heat from the water then will make the gold dices lose their magnetic charateristic, weakening their magnetic force, meanwhle the black dices still have their magnetism, so then if you imagine how the magnetic lines would be, you’d find that all the magnetic forces between them, will make the windmill start rolling.

They plan for this device to be applied as the generator in the industries, so that the heat it needs will be taken from the heat that the industries produced. So that it’ll make such a cycle of the heat.

I don’t know if you already know about it or not, but that’s the only news about tech that I’ve got here. So hopefully it informs you something.

And I am not really a critical type of person, so please if you have any question about it or about anything related to the Japan’s technology, just ask me, let me do the favor for you. Because I really want to share everything I got here, but often I don’t know what to share..

Genesis

As with any other creation in this world, we now define the origin of this weblog page,
Genesis (in Indonesian it means “Penciptaan; Awal mula”)

We are the basementbrat of Labtek 8, Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Students, Bandung Institute of Technology.
At first the idea of putting and sharing our thoughts on this page was triggered by the spirit of the Indonesian Youth’s Pledge (Sumpah Pemuda) at October 28th. We wanted to make contributions to our nation distinctively within our field of specialty, which is in the field of engineering especially electrical engineering. We realized that technology would mean nothing if not shared to the community. We also realize that ideas, thoughts, sometimes the crazier the better, are the gateway to better Indonesia.

We often see that those brilliant ideas are taken for granted and put in vain, it was all because lack of documentation, imagine if all those ideas are put together, and hopefully be put to reality. This page is meant solely to facilitate (and also stimulate) those who has the passion of writing zestfully.

We are thrived and committed to giving the best pieces of writing available, by means of The Basementbrat Crew’s Pledge:

1. Content
We deliver in depth contents, rich and comprehensive analysis about topics ranging from almost every known aspect in our lives .

2. Universality
We do not differ men nor women, social strata, interests, regional origins, etc. While upholding the spirit of democracy and avoiding any conflicts regarding those terms above as possible.

3. Accuracy
We uphold the truth. By means of engineering code of ethics, all topics written on this page are expected to be fair, honest, and truthful.

4. Open-mindedness and Flexibility
We are open to any honest thoughts. Especially ideas, dreams that will lead for the better future of Indonesia. We do not define our limits, any imagination, or such else that will enchain our creativity.

5. Motto
From dreams, we make it real, for our beloved nation, Indonesia

The rules regarding of those terms mentioned on the pledge above are:
1. All posts are to be written in English
2. All posts must be put in an orderly categorized manner
3. All comments are welcome and must also be written in English
4. All crews are expected to write at least one topic for each month
5. All Electrical Engineering students of ITB are welcome to contribute
6. All people who shares the same enthusiasm are welcomed as good friends of ours
