DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF FUEL LESS GENERATOR

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF FUEL LESS GENERATOR
 
ABSTRACT
The programme of work done described in this project work represents an exploration of the working principles of a generator without making use of fuel or any type of liquid, hence “fuel less generator’’ which was invented by Nikola Tesla after patenting a successful method for producing alternating current. He claimed the invention of an electric generator that would not ‘’consume any fuel’’. However, the system design comprises of its method of construction, principles of operation, experiment, test and results.

INTRODUCTION
1.1   Background of the Study
The desire and search for knowledge by man has resulted to various changes in his life and his entire environment. This inquisitiveness has made him embark on various quest and adventure of life. One of the greatest desires of man is his quest for food amongst others like excellence shelter, credibility and above all a better living and this has resulted to achieve/accomplish this untiring want. The advent of the technology has reduced in spite of its little disadvantage, the struggle and stresses of man as he goes about hiss natural world seeking for satisfaction.
The field of engineering is just another environment of its own in which man has always tries to unravel some practical solutions to various technological and scientifically problems that arises in his immediate environment.
In Nigeria today, there is an over dependence on crude oil. The economy of the nation rest squarely on the earning from crude oil. It is also known fact that, the nation has but a limited time to benefit from earnings from crude oil as crude oil reserves will soon run dry at the present rate of its consumption.
