In addition, we are trying to find clean and affordable alternative energy opportunities to produce electricity that we can use as a source of energy for the lamps. One of the material ideas that can be used as an alternative energy source is fruit. Not many people know that cheap and affordable fruit can be used as an alternative source of electricity. In this case, we chose banana and dragon fruit as a power source. Maybe this is a new thing but this banana which has been fermented, has been proven and tested. In short, the banana and dragon fruit solution turns out to be able to produce moving electrons that can generate electric power. This is called the electrolyte solution in chemistry.
Next, we plan to combine the two concepts above by presenting the Internet of Things (IoT), in which we plan to create a tool that we use as a measuring tool for variables related to the previous concept. IoT itself, will later help us in monitoring the percentage of the ingredients in bananas. This IoT will later notify us when we have to replace the banana with a new banana. IoT is also used in the fermentation process as mentioned before. So the use of IoT in this project is more likely to be used as a monitoring device.
What is
?
Bateranaga (Battery from banana and naga) is a battery that we develop using alternative energy sources from banana and dragon fruit peels. The banana and dragon fruit is capable of producing moving electrons that can generate electric power. We use the electric power to make batteries and turn on the lamp that has a light sensor. Bateranaga is powered by Anak Pisang Team, an ICTL group at SMA Pradita Dirgantara.
Project Description
Technology in the electricity sector has developed quite rapidly. It requires technology for the lights to turn on and off automatically. Sometimes we often forget to turn off the lights, which is a form of energy waste, especially in electrical energy. Here, we offer a product idea, namely lamps with light sensor technology. The working principle of the light sensor lamp is that the light will detect the presence of light. The LDR (light dependent resistor) sensor will capture light during the day, then the transistor responds and the light turns off. Likewise, the sensor will not capture sunlight at night, so the transistor will respond and the lights will turn on automatically.
