Design of a Portable Energy Conversion System derived from Public Utility Vehicle Exhaust

摘要

Air pollution is one of our problems nowadays; it adds harmful substances to the atmosphere resulting in damage to the environment, human health, and quality of life. Also, increasing in demand but decreasing of supply of energy is hurting humankind in the sense that some part of the country experiencing rotating brown outs for the demand and supply to breakeven. This study is about filtering the polluted air from the exhaust of a vehicle and at the same time used it to produce electricity by using the wind energy conversion. The produced energy will be stored in a battery by using microcontroller then will used it to supply some loads of the vehicle. The results concluded that the system can generate significant amount of energy to charge or to light up loads with the amount of exhaust gasses filtered on every revolution.
