Analisis Karakteristik Kelistrikan Campuran Belimbing Wuluh dan Jeruk Lemon Sebagai Sumber Listrik

Abstrak

Electrical energy is one of theprimerfacilities used in every activity. Almostall theexisting facilities use electricity. This is inversely proportional to the depleting energy source. The solution to this problem is to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources. Renewable energy is a source of energy thatcan berecycled and does not damage the environment. One type of renewable energy is to use the electrolysis method. Electrolysis Method is one of the renewable energy sources. This method uses electrolyte solution whichcan befound in sour and runny fruit such as lemon (Citrus Limon L.) andWuluhStar fruit(Averrhoabilimbi). The studywas conductedin a laboratory by mixing the results of the juice of the two fruits with different compositions. The mixesare placedin the arcs (a mixture container to test the electrical properties) and then tested using a multimeter every 2 hours for 24 hours. The resultsare describedin graphical form. The average power of each mixture is,C1= 2.2mW,C2= 4.7mW, andC3= 8.5 mW and based on the graph, each mixture has decreased voltage and current. Even so among the three mixtures, the third mixture has a better electrical power value than the other two mixes. This shows that the higherthe acidity ofa solution the higher the electricity produced.
