Report Writing

Now that we have completed the practical testing stages of the project, we must turn our attention to compiling the results and formally writing it up as our project report. The report itself is a vital piece of the pie and carries a weighting of 60% of the total marks. The remaining 30% is made up of background research and presentations. With this in mind, we must now put our heads into gear and complete this project report before we run out of time. 

Results

We are currently in process of analysing all the collected test data. From the results, it is evident that the voltage and current generated from the generator device is too insufficient to be utilized as a charging source. On the other hand, considering the experiment was carried out on a smaller scale generator, the results are promising and we have proof that the idea works and has the potential to produce a higher output if it is increased in size to a bigger scale.

From the findings of our research, we have come to the following conclusions:

- The generator does not generate a constant and continuous voltage on motorway driving condition due to good road profile on motorway. 

- The higher voltage output is required from the generator in order to produce higher charging voltage up to required battery voltage.

- The higher current output is found as a significant criteria for generator, since the higher current would provide a faster charging time for the higher capacity of energy storage.
