Abstract

Malaysia is a country, which receives a lot of rains and up to an extent that it is one the cause of flash flood. At the same time, the increase of electricity bill is also a main concern. To make use of both issues, rainwater sourced pico-hydro generator powered water filter is proposed in this project. This project utilized the rainwater to move a pico-hydro generator, which produces electricity to power a water filter. Proteus software is used to simulate the process and development of the hardware part, which mainly consists of recycled material, is carried out. Hardware testing results showed that the pico-hydro generator was able to generate more than 5 V of voltage to supply electricity to the water filtered water pump. The functionality of the project is justified by the positive results from three types of analysis, namely, optimum head distance, optimum water level and optimum flow rate determination. The three different analysis produced three distinct equations that can be used to make an estimation of ideal settings that to design a more efficient pico-hydro generator system. It is expected that this design can be applied in any domestic household especially in the rural area
