Abstract: EKEH, CHIKEZIE K. Design and Construction of a Self-Charging Generator. Undergraduate Design Project. Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, Philippines. December 2016. Adviser: Engr. Efren R. Rocillo. Flywheel energy storage systems are now considered as enabling technology for many applications including space satellite low earth orbits, pulse power transfer for hybrid electric power plant, and many stationaw applications. The main objective of the study was to design and construct a self charging generator using the application of a flywheel. Secondly, it aimed to determine and assemble the materials needed to fabricate the self charging generator as one unit power system capable of running itself through a battery, supply power to external loads and recharge itself. Furthermore, it aimed to test and evaluate the self-charging generator and finally to obtain the total cost of the design project. The study was conducted from November 2015 to May 2016 at Engineering Science Building, Cavite State University. The design project was composed of wet cells battery which serves as the input power source, electrical motor serving as the prime mover, flywheel rotor is responsible for the mechanical energy storage and a generator which serves as the power output being supply to the load. The project was tested and evaluated at the second floor of Engineering Science Building of College of Engineering and Information Technology. It was evaluated with 1.8 KW light load maximum output with duration of eight minutes without recharging the system and with duration of thirteen to fifteen minutes while recharging the system. Based on the results of the evaluation, the duration while recharging the system showed an efficiency of additional five to seven minute which is 62.5 — 70 percent. The project was considered feasible as a self charging generator. Based on the results of the study, the proponent highly recommended other researchers to focus their interest on the development of renewable sources of energy which can sooner or later help the economy. The total cost of the study amounted to P 70, 056.

Flywheel energy storage systems are now considered as enabling technology for many applications including space satellite low earth orbits, pulse power transfer for hybrid electric power plant, and many stationaw applications.
The main objective of the study was to design and construct a self charging generator using the application of a flywheel. Secondly, it aimed to determine and
assemble the materials needed to fabricate the self charging generator as one unit power system capable of running itself through a battery, supply power to external loads and recharge itself. Furthermore, it aimed to test and evaluate the self-charging generator and finally to obtain the total cost of the design project. The study was conducted from November 2015 to May 2016 at Engineering Science Building, Cavite State University.
The design project was composed of wet cells battery which serves as the input power source, electrical motor serving as the prime mover, flywheel rotor is responsible for the mechanical energy storage and a generator which serves as the power output being
supply to the load.
The project was tested and evaluated at the second floor of Engineering Science
Building of College of Engineering and Information Technology. It was evaluated with
1.8 KW light load maximum output with duration of eight minutes without recharging the system and with duration of thirteen to fifteen minutes while recharging the system.
Based on the results of the evaluation, the duration while recharging the system showed an efficiency of additional five to seven minute which is 62.5 — 70 percent. The project was considered feasible as a self charging generator. Based on the results of the study, the proponent highly recommended other researchers to focus their interest on the development of renewable sources of energy which can sooner or later help the economy.
The total cost of the study amounted to P 70, 056.
