Gravity Charger By Luke Lindsay, Will Gonder, George Montgomery SENIOR DESIGN PROJECT REPORT Submitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering of SANTA CLARA UNIVERSITY in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Santa Clara, California 2016 i Abstract According to a 2014 World Health Organization research initiative based on data collected from 14 global developing countries, “Only 28% of health facilities and 34% of hospitals had what could be called “reliable” access to electricity (without prolonged interruptions in one week)” [1]. Healthcare quality suffers because of this lack of reliable electricity. We propose that a gravity powered generator would stand as a reliable power source for small medical devices under any conditions at any location at any time of day. Our research examines how a gravity powered electric generator could best empower medical facilities in developing countries to provide improved healthcare. Our research has shown that most often, the greatest needs at these facilities are dependent upon an inadequate power supply, including lighting for emergency night-time care, refrigeration for blood and vaccines, facilities for sterilization, and electricity for simple medical devices [1]. We have chosen to focus on providing power for small devices as well as lighting. A successful charger must be lightweight, durable, and reliably provides dc power congruent with USB charging specifications. Testing has revealed a proof of concept, in that we were able to produce USB power from a mockup of the intended design, and further iterations of the charger will improve charge time per use. Initially, those seeking medical attention will be the main beneficiaries of our device; however, we expect the gravity generator project to expand if visitors see that our device could replace fossil or other solid fuel consuming device, such as kerosene lanterns, in their homes. ii Acknowledgements Team Gravity Charger would like to acknowledge the following people for their contribution: Dr. Tim

Shahed Hossen1, Md. Tazul Islam2,* and Sabir Hossain3 1-3Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, CUET, Bangladesh [email protected],2,*[email protected],[email protected] Abstract- In recent times due to effects of pollution and global warming there is a need for generating power from renewable sources. The reason for generating power using gravity is that it is available all over the Earth, abundant and consistent too. In this project, the gravitational energy of a heavy particle is converted to the electrical energy. When the heavy particle falls down from a higher altitude to a lower one, its potential energy is converted into the kinetic energy. Then this energy is converted to electricity by using a synchronous motor. With the increasing of the altitude of the load, the lighting time increases. If load increases, power production also increases, but the lighting time decreases.

  • White Light Emission from Fluorescent Sic with Porous Surface
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN White Light Emission from Fluorescent SiC with Porous Surface Weifang Lu1, Yiyu Ou 1, Elisabetta Maria Fiordaliso2, Yoshimi Iwasa3, Valdas Jokubavicius4, Mikael Syväjärvi4, Satoshi Kamiyama3, Paul Michael Petersen1 & Haiyan Ou1 Received: 24 May 2017 We report for the frst time a NUV light to white light conversion in a N-B co-doped 6H-SiC (fuorescent Accepted: 14 August 2017 SiC) layer containing a hybrid structure. The surface of fuorescent SiC sample contains porous Published: xx xx xxxx structures fabricated by anodic oxidation method. After passivation by 20 nm thick Al2O3, the photoluminescence intensity from the porous layer was signifcant enhanced by a factor of more than 12. Using a porous layer of moderate thickness (~10 µm), high-quality white light emission was realized by combining the independent emissions of blue-green emission from the porous layer and yellow emission from the bulk fuorescent SiC layer. A high color rendering index of 81.1 has been achieved. Photoluminescence spectra in porous layers fabricated in both commercial n-type and lab grown N-B co-doped 6H-SiC show two emission peaks centered approximately at 460 nm and 530 nm. Such blue- green emission phenomenon can be attributed to neutral oxygen vacancies and interface C-related surface defects generated dring anodic oxidation process. Porous fuorescent SiC can ofer a great fexibility in color rendering by changing the thickness of porous layer and bulk fuorescent layer. Such a novel approach opens a new perspective for the development of high performance and rare-earth element free white light emitting materials.

In May of this year, we submitted comments with three additional cosigners on DOE’s GSL NOPR. Summary The NOPDDA proposes to cover as general service incandescent lamps (GSILs) eight lamp types currently exempted from the definition of general service lamps. By bringing these products into scope, DOE would eliminate a significant danger of these exempt lamp types becoming substitutes for traditional incandescent lamps and being widely used for general illumination. We believe that the GSL standards Final Rule would be further strengthened by including additional currently exempted lamps under the definition of GSILs as discussed below. We strongly support coverage of all reflector lamps as GSILs. Hundreds of millions of IRLs and non-IRL reflectors are sold each year. More efficient alternatives are already widely available at affordable prices.

Carson Street Carson City, NV 89701 Via email to [email protected] Re: LCB File No. R100-19, Nevada’s General Service Lamp Rulemaking Dear Ms. Erdoes: On behalf of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (“NEMA”), I write to request that you exercise your authority to prevent finalization of a proposed rule involving “general service lamps” that violates federal law, violates the Nevada Administrative Code, and would harm Nevada businesses and citizens. Summary In the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (“EPCA”) and its amendments, 42 U.S.C. § 6291 et seq., Congress enacted a comprehensive set of energy-efficiency standards and a process for the Department of Energy (“DOE”) to create new standards and amend existing standards. And because Congress was concerned that a patchwork set of state-level energy standards would harm manufacturers as well as retailers and consumers, it included in EPCA a broad preemption provision displacing state energy-conservation regulations “concerning” products that EPCA covers. EPCA covers several lighting products, including a class of light bulbs known as “general service lamps” (the standard size light bulb found in most home light sockets, which can include incandescent, halogen, compact fluorescent, and LED technologies). The regulation proposed by the Governor’s Office of Energy, N.R.S. § 701.260, (“Nevada GSL rule”) seeks to define general service lamps differently than federal law and would prohibit sales of such lamps after January 1, 2021, that do not satisfy an energy efficiency standard of 45 lumens-per-watt.
