ABSTRACT
GREEN ENERGY GENERATOR is majorly designed to assist in
production of power to all the community at large. It generates the
power production industries and it enables people to use the power in
lightning and other commercial work.
The idea of coming up with this generator was based on the shortage and
expensive lifestyle in the country hence there is need for generation of
power. Generation of power will assist the community in making the
economy to grow because the users of this generator will increase since
it’s generated at a cheaper price.
Whereby our generator is powered by the use of the 12V battery (which
acts as a capacitor) where it is coupled to the driving motors and driven
motors which both of them produce 22.9V
Hence, after we have produced 22.9V we therefore feed the power to
charge control unit then back to the capacitor then we step up the voltage
power to 240V which can be used in running machines using AC
independently. The input is 12V-output is220-240V
Average discharge is12V to 22.9V to 220/240V.
Advantages:
Previously we had;
 Water turbine generator
 Geothermal power generator
 Windmill
 Fuel generator (Diesel & Petrol)
This is more advantageous since it independently produces the power
and uses the same power to generate more power without use of fuel nor
wind nor any other source of power to run machine
Where we are able to meet nearly all the needs for example enhance
manufacturing sector, health, housing and infrastructure/green energy.

 CHAPTER 1

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
We came up with the idea due to the insufficient and high cost of
fuel and electricity.
It came to our minds that we should come up with a form of
generating power machine that can recycle the power. We then
took our sturdy research on how operates we decided to build
simple generator using the available materials we had. We used
four motors in which two were drivers and the other two we used
to generate power.
We managed to generate a maximum power of 22.9(23V).

OBJECTIVES
1. Less initial cost compared to current generators.
2. The cost of generation of power

OBJECTIVES
1. It requires less space. is much lower compared to the
normalgenerators.
2.Less initial cost compared to current generators.
3.The cost of generation of power
4.Maintenance cost is relatively cheap
5.It’s friendly to the environment since it does not emit
any form of gas.

METHODOLOGY

1. 4DC motors
2. Flexible wires
3. 12V DC battery
4. 2 Switches
5. Double socket
6. Ignition switch and key
7. Inverter
8. Cooling fan
9. Self-tapping screws
10. Charge controller
11. Power step up invertor

PROCEDURE
1) Fix the DC driver motors in position firmly.
2) Fix the DC generator motors firmly and couple them with the driver
motors parallel to each other.
3) Fix the socket, switch and the charge controller in position.
4) Connect the driver motor in parallel to each other.
5) Connect the DC generators in series to each other.
6) Connect the generated power to the circuit with capacitors to stabilize
the power before being connected to the charge controller.
7) Connect the inverter to the loading side of the charge controller.
8) Connect the supply to the driver motor through a start
switch.
9) Connect the supply to the battery charge controller.

RESULTS
In our data collection sample, we used random sampling methods
by interviewing 100 people and we found that;
 Most of the people appreciated our project
 26% were able to appreciate our project fully and were
willing to support us by all means for our project to be
implemented.
 49% liked our project and were interested in the
innovation.
 25 % were interested in the project and hence said that it
could help them since it was their field of interest.
This can also be represented in the pie chat as shown below;

DISCUSSION
Our innovation of coming up with a generator was based on the shortage
and expensive lifestyle in community hence there is need of generation
of power to assist in community industries and makes the economic
growth to a higher standard due to the users of electric machines will
increase since there is power generation at the cheaper price.
The generator works independently. We use 4 DC motors in that, two of
them are the drivers and others are generators. We are to couple the
driver motors to the Generators. We then connect the drivers in parallel
and the generators in series for maximum power production. The
generated power is then connected to circuit with capacitors to stabilize
the power generated. Then thegenerated power is connected to the
charge controller charging terminals.
The inverter is then connected to the loading side of the charge
controller. The capacitor, (battery in our case), is then connected to the
supply side of the charge controller so as to prevent our capacitor from
any damage by exes power.
In conclusion, the power is generated continuouslyand it recharges the
capacitor as it is being used.

RECOMMENDATION
We therefore recommend and urge our fellow investors and the
government in particular and the institution to help us to
improvise and apply the skills we have learnt, hence bringing up a
positive performance among trainees and they can earn a living
through such an innovation.

11 | P a g e
CONCLUSION
 In conclusion, we hope this project will help many people
mostly trainees and workers to concentrate and enjoy their
working places and minimize energy consumption.
 It will also help to conserve the environment since it does not
emit any gas unlike the fuel generators.
 The cost of maintenance is low because once installed, it
works continuously hence its effective because it is available
when needed.
