CHAPTER II
THE ADVANTAGES OF “HYMINI” PHONE CHARGER

A. Overview
Hymini phone charger is a great solution for people who have many activities. Hymini is portable device to charge handphone which generates by wind power or solar power that fits in the palm of hand. Not only powered by wind or solar, Hymini also stores energy collected from a wall plug, and renewable DC input. Hymini cn recharge most 5v appliances, including mobile phone, MP3 players, iPo, PDAs, and digital camera. The price of hymini is $49,99 for basic package, $25 for solar panel; $8.99 for bike mount; $14.99 for armband; $9.99 for hand-crank

Sometimes, there is no wind power, this devie is still generates from wall plug adaptor. Hymini is making easy to use, there are power sources include to choose if there is no wind. Such as hymini portable mini solar panel, PC/labtop USB 2.0 outlet, conventional 100-240V AC adaptor are the example of souces power. Hymini’s internal battery can store up to 1200mAh power. The unit lithium battery can be charge from a conventional 100-240V wall socket and has life around 500 charge cycles. It takes 4 hours to fully charger, a 20 minute charge (at 19mph wind speed) gives 30 minutes playing time on an ipod, 4 mnute talk time on a mobile, or 20 captures on a digital camera. It means that hymini is ideal for emergency situation when there is no electricity.
This small device generates power from the turbines which is turn into the wind that connect to charge cell phone, cameras, and other small electronics. Even someone on the road, driving and ride bicycle, this device can be used at all time as long as there is wind around. Hymini is designed to capture wind power between 9-30 mph. The maximum capacity is set at 40 mph, it means extra power cannot be convert to device. A green LED switches on when the batery is charging. The turbine designe is soft material. It means this devices

    Wind power is generated when the wind speed is strong enough to turn the blades of giant fans, which in turn turns the turbine inside the machinery. The major setback for implementing wind power, as an alternative source of energy is the fact wind speed must be at least greater than 10 miles per hour, and this is not a constant situation (Green living, 20130).…

    Something that is unique about hydropower is that it has the ability to store energy. It starts as the same as a regular power plant, but instead of the turbine spinning forward, it spins backwards. The turbine pumps the water to a pool, like, area that stores the water when needed. If needed, the water is released back to the turbine, spinning it forward starting the generator.…

    It’s been said that wind energy can be a viable solution to most of our home energy bill problems. In addition to aiding us in decreasing our expenses on home energy, it is also environmentally friendly. Unlike many energy sources that release chemical substances into the atmosphere, wind generators only use wind power. It has no other byproducts that can damage our atmosphere causing ozone thinning and many other related problems. The only thing that the wind generator will produce is the cheap energy that you can use to power the appliances in your house.…

    Wind energy is intermittent by its nature; it is very consistent on an annual basis but varies significantly over shorter time scales and as a result it is necessary to have flexible back up generation sources on standby to cover any sudden drops or increases in its output which adds significant cost to the running of a stable electricity grid (Kessides and Wade 2011) (Hirth and Ziegenhagen 2015). This is because of instantaneous electrical generation and the consumption must remain balanced at all times to ensure grid stability, this variability creates substantial challenges when a large amount of wind energy is integrated into an electrical grid (Hirth and Ziegenhagen 2015). Transmission networks currently deal with outages of conventional power plants and instantaneous changes of electrical demand by compensating with reserve capacity (Zugno and Conejo 2015). The variability of renewable power sources such as wind power, are unlike those of conventional power generation plants but can be partially compensated for in the same way (Chao et al. 2015).…

    A major issue in today’s world is finding an alternative energy source. Fossil fuel has been used for a very long time because it is a cheaper way to produce energy. Fossil fuel is a problem because it is non-renewable, which means it will eventually run out and this has us looking for another alternative for energy. That is why some people turn to wind power but, its a debate whether wind power is a good or bad alternative. It is a possibility but there are some positive and negative outcomes that come with wind power.…

    Long time ago, ancient mariners used sails to capture the wind and explore the world. Farmers once used windmills to grind their grains and pump water. Today, more and more people are using wind turbines to wring electricity from the breeze. Over the past decade, wind turbine use has increased at more than 25 percent a year. Still, it only provides a small fraction of the world 's energy. Therefore, wind power or wind energy is the energy extracted from wind using wind turbines to produce electrical power, windmills for mechanical power, windpumps for water pumping, or sails to propel ships.…

    Residential Wind Turbines

    The use of wind as an energy source goes back thousands of years. The first use of wind energy was with a sail to power ships. Windmills were developed to help pump water and grind grain. Windmills were an important resource to the Dutch to drain water from the land. To this date, Holland has more windmills than anywhere in the world. The use of wind to generate electricity, dates back to the late nineteenth century. Most small, residential wind turbines are horizontal-axis, upwind machines with two or three blades which may be made of fiberglass. With a wind turbine, the wind moves the blades which rotate and drive the rotor. The energy from the rotor turns the generator which produces electricity. The electricity generated from wind turbines can now be used to power homes directly or the excess can be sold back to the utility companies for use by other consumers. Residential wind energy is also referred to as “small wind”. Residential turbines are much smaller than commercial turbines and usually generate enough electricity for one home.…

    For many years, people have been harnessing the power of wind. Wind propelled boats down water and simple windmills were used to pump water and grind grain. But credit goes to the Dutch who refined windmills so that they could drain swamps and lakes, and in the 19th century, settlers took this concept with them to the New World. There, windmills were used to pump water for farms and ranches, and later to generate electricity for homes and industry purposes. Industrialization caused a decrease in the use of wind power, but also began the development of larger windmills to produce electricity. The result, commonly called wind turbines, could have been found in Denmark as early as the 1890s.…

    In the final year, our team completed a project titled ‘Development of Micro hydro Power-plant’. The aim was to develop power from low head water (thereby eliminating the need of dams). This idea originated from simple tap water filter with a small fan fitted inside it. For this college project, our objective was to charge a small car battery from the output energy generated by the scaled down model of Micro Hydro Power-plant. The project consisted of the designing the turbine, its hub, the shaft (on which turbine will be mounted) and also a draft tube (to avoid the negative pressure build up) and bearings. Since I was responsible for the design of the turbine blades and hub. We checked reliability of turbine blades by stress-strain analysis of the blades by ProE-Mechanica. I helped in designing the shaft and bearings (by ASME code) for mounting and smooth running of turbine. We tested for various positions of turbine and got maximum efficiency in a vertical tubular turbine. On a scaled model, we could get power output of 12W…
