GREEN ENERGY BATTERY FROM SEAWEEDS EXTRACT

Abstract

Green energy batteries harness plant-based energy by extracting electricity from living plants. Seaweeds, which encompass a variety of marine plants and algae found in oceans, rivers, lakes, and other water bodies, can be converted into biofuels or ethanol through fermentation and chemical processes. This renewable energy source holds significant potential to power low- to medium-power consumption devices, presenting an eco-friendly alternative to conventional energy solutions. This study utilized a quantitative-descriptive research design with purposive sampling. A survey questionnaire was used to assess the level of acceptability of the proposed model in terms of materials used, power-generating capacity, energy density, safety, and presentation. To analyze the data, frequency and percentage distributions, rating scales, weighted means, and t-tests were employed to determine differences in the assessments between two respondent groups. The research of the suggested model yielded "Acceptable" results in terms of the material utilized, energy density, power generating capability, safety, and presentation. In contrast to the Chemical Engineers, who received 2.72 with a variance of 0.201, a t-computed of 0.324, a degree of freedom of 8, and a t-critical value of 2.306 (a=0.05), the Electrical Engineers' overall weighted mean was 2.63 with a variance of 0.182, a t-computed of 0.324, and a t-critical value of 2.306 (a=0.05). As a result, both of the responder groups' evaluations are approved. The evaluations made by the two responder groups do not differ much. To ensure a high success rate, the researchers made the following advice for the study's development: seek help from professionals or experienced people. According to the responders, it takes more than enough time to complete this task, and it may have an impact on the marine biological equilibrium.
