Description
Summary:This paper describes the implementation of an electromagnetic transducer in harvesting kinetic energy from an octopus ride. The kinetic energy harnessed from the octopus ride by the electromagnetic transducer is stored in a IF, 5.5V super capacitor. The voltage being stored in the super capacitor is regulated to approximately 4V by a conditioning circuit which uses an LM393 comparator. The voltage being stored in the super capacitor is use to light up the light emitting diodes (LED) used in the octopus ride.
