Solution Overview
Solution Name
MEPAP-Multisource Electricity Producer with Air Purifier
One-line solution summary.

MEPAP is a device that uses multiple sources for electricity generation such as vibration, EM radiation, thermal, solar, wind and helps us come out of dependence on fossils for energy.

Elevator pitch
What is your solution?

MEPAP-Multisource Electricity Generator Integrated with Air Purifier which is built with the motto of "Prevent Shortage by Utilizing Wastage" is a device that uses multiple sources for electricity generation such as vibration, electromagnetic radiation, thermal, solar, winds which are renewable sources and help us come out of our dependence on fossil fuels for electrical energy and MEPAP's Air Purifier purifies from the source like vehicle exhausts, factory chimneys, etc.., and harvest energy from the stray smoke too.

MEPAP ELECTRICITY GENERATOR GENERATES ELECTRICITY WITH THE HELP OF VIBRATION (Piezoelectric Materials like Quartz crystal, PFIG, and magnets) AND ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION (with the help of MetaMaterials using Full absorption concept, MoS2 monolayer sheet, and Transducers) ELECTROMAGNETIC induction [inductive coupling (power density is proportional to d, q, 1/d^3)], wind energy (from purifier where the mini turbine is connected with the governor, shafts and magnets), solar (using CdTe Photovoltaic cell) AND ALSO THERMOELECTRIC ENERGY using Seebeck effect of thermoelements and metallic strips (power density25μW/cm^2). MEPAP's Air Purifier uses Active shield, Active Carbon Filter, ICC (Improved Catalytic Converter), Honeycomb Active Carbon Filter, HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air Filter) Type Filter, Anion Generator, Air pollution sensors.

What specific problem are you trying to solve?

I was from a lower-middle-class family. We suffered many months without electricity and our area is prone to traffic so our area is filled with smoke and dust. Many were suffering from several respiratory disorders due to this dust and smoke. These made me think of inventing a low-cost electricity generator integrated with an air purifier.

The fundamental driver of my research was the growing demand for electrical energy and rising air pollution around the world. Today, we get more than 80% of our energy from burning fossil fuels, which is both detrimental to the environment and unsustainable. My idea will contribute to the solution of the energy problem by combining the efficiency of electromagnetic energy gathering systems, vibration energy harvesting systems, wind energy harvesting systems, thermal energy harvesting systems, and air purification systems into a single project.

My MEPAP solves 9 main problems in Earth
1. Fossil Depletion
2. Energy Crisis
3. Air Pollution
4. Global Warming
5. Acid Rain
6. Climate Change
7. Energy Wastage
8. Search for Alternate fuel
9. Search for Alternate energy

Who does your solution serve? In what ways will the solution impact their lives?

Common people for pollution control and to use harvested energy for domestic uses, EV industries to make a self-powered EV, and other Factories to control air pollution are the intended user of MEPAP. MEPAP is effective in reducing Acrolein, CO2, CO, NOX, Hydrocarbons, Ammonia, Chloroform, Xylenes, and other pollutants. MEPAP Energy Harvester device abruptly reduces the dependence on fossil fuels on energy by producing electricity via available sources such as Vibration, Heat, and Electromagnetic Radiation and so on.., The main objective of my idea is to produce self-powered vehicles –EV using my MEPAP and to create a pollution-free society. My device abruptly reduces the dependence on fossil fuels on energy by producing electricity via available sources such as Vibration, Heat, and Electromagnetic Radiation, and so on.., and it also aims to reduce air pollution from the source itself.

What steps have you taken to understand the needs of the population you want to serve?

RESEARCH TEST ON PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL AND SOLAR ENERGY:
RESEARCH TEST FROM EXHAUST ENERGY(TEG MODULE):


The efficiency and power of a TEG remarkably depends on the temperature. Given figure shows the temperature of inlet and outlet when the engine is operated between 2500 rpm to 3400 rpm. As the engine speed increases, the temperature difference between the surfaces of TEM increases rapidly, hence the output power also increases.


It was found that there is a possibility of generating 1.4 kW of electricity form the heat recovery system in the exhaust of the car if the power produced by the engine is 150 kW and also found that it is possible to produce electricity of 5.9 MW by a waste heat energy recovery system of 500 MW of gas turbine power plant.
 At the speed of 80 km/hr, the power output with 72 mm * 4 mm TEM was 75 W.
