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..
wow, i can’t imagine that there is a way to generate power like that.
I have several question for this post :
1. What is the dimension of your lab’s generator? and how much power that it generates?
2. How much the maximum power that this kind of generator can generate?
3. You said that in the future this generator planned to be used in industries, how can we get hot water for the first time? should we triggered it with water heater that we operate it with solar cell (all energy is free…hehe…)?
thanks before…
one more question, why it use gold as a dice? what is the reason behind this?
as expected from the pride of our faculty, rachma the “NIM 001″, also happen to have posted the first article here (article no. 001, and hopefully more to come! hehe).
Thank you very much, keep up your nice work sis! take care and good luck to you always
that makes me the 198th contributor ^_^!
@Yoka : well, right now, I can only answer your 4th question. Dice is just how I named it, because I don’t really know what it is called in English. And gold is just the colour, not made by gold. Actually, it’s just a tiny block of magnet made from i-don’t- know, i’ll tell you later as I got all of the answer, ok??!
Thanks for the wishes, Guys!! Keep your good work too..!
rachma, would u please give me dummier version please..
i’m hard to imagine your device..
@ rahma : ok ma…i’ll be waiting for your next explanation… ^_^
rachma, can you add some images about that generator? I can’t imagine too. hehe…
I told you before, I cannot post image in this blog, don’t know why. It said that “you don’t have permission to upload an image”. So, I posted the images in my facebook, the email address is the same as my yahoo email address. So you can check it out there, okay?! Oh yeah, in the “My Fun Lab” album.. Hope you get the picture then..
@ rahma : would you try to post those images again ma? cause when you try to post those images before, your status is contributor…now everybody status is a author…i think that status have an effect to image upload ability…cause hercup can upload images in his post…sory to disturbing you…^_^
Done, I’ve just inserted the image..
Ok, Guys, I’m totally sorry because I just put the images for 1 minute and then Iman reminded me whether I had the permission to publish the picture or not. GOsh, I totally forgot that this is JAPAN that we’re talking about !!! Can’t do as you wish you could do..
So, let me ask my labmates first if I have the permission to post the images in this blog,, and I will confirm about it to you, soon.. But the soonest would be Tuesday, coz tmw is holiday for “Culture Day”, oh I love to be here,, they have so many holidays…
rachma..how are you doin..?? i’ve seen the photos on facebook, and wow, your “fun lab” is sooo cleean and tidy..not so big though, but very cozy i think..hehe..
i have one thought on my mind, “big industry=big power=big turbine”, “big turbine=big magnetic force”. how can we get such a big magnetic force to move a big enough turbine to activate a generator for big industry? and as yoka said, we also need a lot of hot water to get the optimum magnetic force..humm..
for the hot water issue, should we build the turbine/windmill on a water spring or on a valley of a dead volcano?
Okay, DONE!! I’ve got my permission,, so please.. Enjoy it !!
@ rachma : thx ma…hm…its smaller than i thought…hehe…
