I. Rationale

Nowadays, some people do not update their knowledge about current, there are

some cases that people encounter’s, shortage. That is one of the problem that have to be

solved, specially when students have assignments, then the current will be shut-off. Some

researcher think how to get free current to power a bulb even though not making any

cost money.

The process of this device is hand power or manual, because if researcher will

not rotate the pedal, the propeller will not rotate also and if the propeller will not rotate,

then it will not produce current. This study refers to light up our work at night. The

propeller will be used is not just a propeller, it is a metal and it is heavy so it will

rotate fast and can last long. The researcher use the metal that will be used is already

old and junk.

The researcher decided to come up to this study because researcher knew that,

even if junk metal can be a source of current like round metal. This study is focus in

making free current by using junk things and producing current for LED manually.
II. Objective of the Study

 Review of Related literature

Over the centuries a wide array of devices and systems has been developed for

this purpose. Some of these energy are quite example. The early windmills, for

examples, energy of wind into mechanical energy-conversions systems are nuclear fuels

to generate electrical power. But there are things that do not need to expense of fuel

and that is manual.

That are traces of developed of energy defined conversion technology. Energy is

usually and most simply defined as equivalent of a capacity for doing the things of

people. Conservation of energy was independently recognized by many scientists in the

first half of 19th century. The electric light, one of everyday convenience that most

affects peoples lives, was not invented in the traditionally since in 1879 by Thomas

Alva Edison. Although he could be said to have created the first nor the only person

trying to invent on incandescent light bulb. Dynamo is the one thing that can create

current so that it is useful to many people not only in spinning but also in producing

current.

Making free current is useful to people that are often to current shortage just like

to the people that are far from the city, also farmer encounter this problem. Study about

free current is very useful, because of this people can have current supply without

paying or having any cost of money.
