Develop a Technique for Producing Electricity by Harvesting Rain Water and IoT Monitoring

Abstract

This project aims to develop a technique for producing electricity by harvesting rainwater. This project is based on prototypes of suitable size to be used in the classroom as a teaching act or during practical sessions. This study focuses on the production of electricity through the collection of rainwater. The size of the tank is 35cm (Height) x 17 cm (length) x 15 cm (width). The observation of this project is based on monitoring the values of voltage, current and power depending on the amount of water stored in the tank at three levels: low (2cm), medium (6 cm) and high (10cm) using IoT. The interface for monitoring is used by the BLYNK application. The electrical energy produced is from a mini turbine that is rotated by the rain coming down. The resulting energy can be stored in the generator and the water collected can be used in an emergency. This system is very suitable for homes, livestock and countries with high rainfall rates. It works through a large collection of water on the roof and then into the rainbow that's inside the mini turbine assembly to produce kinetic energy for the electrical power and then the water will continue through the rainbow and be stored in the storage tank. This project can produce electrical energy between 0 to 8 volts, 0 to 80 µA and 0 to 640 µW. The development of this project is verified by the amount of electrical energy it can produce using the collection of water
