Abstract

There are various methods used to measure the capacitance of a material. However, what is emphasized in this project is the use of capacitance sensors to determine the capacitance value of a certain type of material available in our country. This process is very important to develop the working concept. This is because, by determining the capacitance of a material, we can find out what type of material contained in a trash as emphasized in the project. For example, there are different types of rubbish in our country such as wood, plastic, metal, paper, polystyrene, glass and so on. Therefore, the process of determining the value of the capacitance of each of these is very important to serve as a design concept that will serve as the operating system for this project. This project aims to design a concept where it is able to separate garbage according to type of material found in the trash automatically. Once the concept was designed to be a key concept, it will continue to the next level to make the design more optimal and efficient. Sketching using CAD data will also make the conceptual design more detail. From there, detailed information about operating systems that is able to isolate the trash according to its types automatically can be applied. In addition, the components used in the system can also be classified according to the use and application of the operating system.
