It is well known that fossil resources are declining, and their prices are rising constantly. Nowadays, scientists have endeavored looking for new alternative energy which is clean, no pollution and low investment cost. For that reason, electricity generation form magnetic energy is an interesting option that the scientists are paying attention. In addition, for another reason as awareness of the current available alternative energy, wind-powered generators must use wind to produce their output. Solar-powered generators use heat from the sun to produce electricity. The water-powered turbines have to use the continuous flow of water to operate. This implies that the operations of the alternative energy depend on the condition of weather or climate. If there are no wind, no sun, and no rain, then there would be no power!!!
Concept of magnetic power generation has been studied for a long time since the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Magnetic power generation is based on the principle of electromagnetic forces. Electromagnetic field exists in abundance in the earth’s atmosphere. Generally, electromagnetic field can occur into two cases: naturally occurring – solar radiation, lighting wave, gamma rays, etc. – and human being – telephone wave, radio wave, power transmission system, etc.
Working principle of magnetic power generator
The magnetic power generator works on the simple principle of the magnetic properties that we all already know, “Like poles repel each other while opposite poles attract each other” Thus, by arranging the magnets in a fashion on the spindle alternatively and placing induction coil connected to the load as light bulbs around that spindle, the simply set of magnet spindle will rotate through induction coil and generate the power continuously when it is forced to move at the beginning as shown in Fig. 1.
Present limitation & Future possibility
However, in the present, even if there are many widespread studies and researches on power generation from magnetic energy, the continuous working process still be the main problem. And for many researches, these seem to be breaking the law of conservation of energy which states that “energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only changed from one form into another or transferred from one object to another” and making this concept very difficult to accept. Practically, magnetic energy is used to the generator into the motion over a period of time, the magnets will lose their magnetism, depending on size of the magnet, and the generator will stop. Then, all one needs to replace the magnets by the new one and the generator will be workable again.
Presently, , the magnetic generator is under the experimental stage which can be used and applied into the light bulbs and electrical fan.Furthermore, for possible application into the industry and commercial in the next future, the larger magnetic generator which can produce more than about 10 kW is under studied and researched. If the magnetic generator could actually available, it would give us more alternative energy resources that would be used without attention using fossil energy.
