Abstract:
Energy is like a breathing aid to modem civilizations. The rising of
electricity tariff and fossil fuel price in Malaysia has triggered the
awareness to find alternative energy as sustainable energy sources.
Development and economic growth continue to affect the energy
consumption in Malaysia, thus fossil fuel demand were increase and this
situation can lead to global warming effect. This study discusses about the
development of two wave and solar energy absorber prototypes which
were called 'SUNW A VE'. The development consists of design and
modeling, prototypes construction and development, prototypes testing
and data analysis. Two SUNW A VE prototypes that already been
developed were SUNW A VE GEAR and SUNWA VE ROTATING ARM.
SUNW A VE GEAR was concluded to be the best prototype compare to
SUNWA VE ROTATING ARM based on the average power generated
per one hour. SUNW A VE GEAR have collected average power of
19.1373 W/h while SUNWAVE ROTATING ARM have collected
average power of 19.11289 W/h. By combining two source of renewable
energy, which is from wave and solar, new source of alternative
electricity were develop.
