Supplementary electrical generation from exhaust fumes of fuel combustion engines
In the advent of low poor power output in Africa and most developing countries the need for the generation of more power is paramount. Major proportion of power generated in most counties is from fuel combustion, therefore generating from the exhaust of these systems will be helpful. The objective of the work is to increase the power output of combustion engines with the use of Magneto Hydrodynamic (MHD) system. A test was run after construction and a thirty-five percent (35%) increase was achieved. The Magneto hydrodynamic system was constructed to have a hexagonal tapered form to enhance a more efficient output. An 800watts generator was used for the test running. Hence, conversion of waste heat into useful electrical energy.
