Sound Harvesting And Collecting (SOHACO) Device: As An Alternative Source of Generating Electricity

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The rise of a different kind of pollution now is alarming -especially, noise pollution that can be heard wherever you go. in line with this, the researchers come up with a device called "Sound harvesting and collecting (SOHACO) device." It helps to make noise pollution as an advantage that can benefit society. The researchers created the device for sound energy. Correctly, noise can be used as an alternative source of generating electricity. This research aimed to convert sound energy that depends on its intensity level concerning the amount of voltage that can be generated.

METHODS

Researchers used experimental design when conducting the study by testing the device in a highway along Gensan Drive and KCC Mall of Marbel, specifically in the World of Fun. The effectiveness of the method was measured based on durability and capability when harvesting and collecting sound waves and its efficiency in converting it into volts.

RESULTS

The findings we've gathered has emerged as follows: 1) 2.43v is the grand mean of highway that gathered in 3 consecutive days. 2) 3.43v is the grand mean of the mall that gathered in 3 successive days. And 3) mall has a higher grand mean compared to the value of volts that accumulated in a highway.

DISCUSSIONS

It was found out that the effectiveness of the device was based on the highness or lowness of the sound waves collected considering the number of electric currents. But the amount of voltage can still be beneficial to all.
