Effect of Altitude droplet on over-voltage energy harvesting

Taufik Juang Dwiadi, Ena Marlina, Nur Robbi

Abstract


Energy harvesting is the harvesting of power by utilizing the droplet flow that passes through the taro leaves' surface, thus creating electron jumping. This study used an actual experiment. The research was carried out by varying the droplets' height on the taro leaves the surface. The variation in droplet heights uses 5 cm, 10 cm, and 15 cm. When the water droplets touch the taro leaf covered with aluminum foil as an electrode, it causes an electron to jump underneath. This phenomenon occurs within the realm of experiments or electrochemical processes, where the taro leaf acts as a conductor connecting a power source to a solution or substance undergoing reaction. This electron jump will be read by a digital multimeter connected to a laptop as a voltage. The results showed that the higher the droplets on the surface of the taro leaves, the greater the electric voltage generated. The relation between altitude and the resultant voltage is that the greater the distance of the water droplets in contact with the taro leaves the higher the voltage electricity is. The tremendous voltage was when the height of the droplets onto the taro leaves is 10 cm. In comparison, the highest voltage was the first drop on the leaf surface. As for taro leaves, it is a good alternative to harvest energy during the rainy season to exchange solar technology.
