Abstract

Electricity has become an essential part of everyone's daily lives. It is easier to do anything using electricity. In recent years, electricity in the Philippines has been somewhat lacking in development, especially in rural areas. The construction of a Hydroelectric Generator will help many residents in rural areas, especially the Farmers, to lessen their work hassle because they have no electricity. This study aims to lessen the number of people suffering from a lack of electricity. The research design used for the study was quantitative-experimental research using purposive and simple random techniques. Using the questionnaire as the research instrument, the researchers surveyed to identify the level of acceptability of the model in terms of construction materials, designs and procedures, and mechanisms as to motors, wheels and light bulbs. The study's respondents are 3 Mechanical Engineer and 2 Civil Engineer. The following procedures were undertaken in developing the model: preparing the materials, connecting the wires to the dynamo, making the wheel of the Generator and putting the rubber band to the wheel and the dynamo. The result of the study in terms of Construction materials, Designs and procedures, and mechanisms as to motor, wheel and light bulbs are Very Highly Acceptable (HA). The overall mean of the three 5th-year Mechanical Engineers students was 3.6, interpreted as Highly Acceptable.

 

While Civil Engineer have an overall mean of 3.7, interpreted as Highly Acceptable, this survey indicates a significant difference between the two groups of respondents. For further improvement of the project, the respondents recommended using more durable materials and a transparent background to see some parts hidden because of the background. Also, researchers should manage their time wisely and be more responsible. Improve the model as such for further development of this study, that will be helpful in the future.
