Abstract: CARDANO, CRIS ANGELO O. and REGIL, JOHN CEDRIC C. Design and Construction of a Merry-Go-Round Powered Generating System. Undergraduate Design Project. Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. June 2016. Adviser: Engr. Efren R. Rocillo. The general objective of the study was to design and construct a merry-go-round powered generating system using human physical energy. Specifically, it aimed to: 1. determine the size of the merry-go-round; 2. determine the size of the generator that will be used; 3. assemble of the system; 4. test and evaluate the system in terms of performance and efficiency and; 5. conduct cost computation. The study was conducted at Daang Amaya III Tanza, Cavite from December 2015 to June 2016. The study covered the design and construction of a merry-go-round powered generating system, which includes a 120W permanent magnet DC generator, an 18 inches diameter pulley, a three inches diameter pulley, 40AHr rechargeable sealed lead acid battery, 1000W 12V to 220V inverter, and a 24V SA charge controller. Testing and evaluation were done by four participants with different weights and combination of riders in the merry-go-round. The project was evaluated for a duration of 60 seconds per set of different weight of participants. The parameters such as number of rotations, rotational speed, voltage, current, power output, charge percentage added to the battery and efficiency were measured. The results of the evaluation showed that the maximum power output of the system is 16W and the maximum charge percentage added to the battery within 60s is 0.06% affected by the different weights and behaviors of its riders. The total cost of the study was P 19, 200.
