12. WEEK 3
• Development of Project Proposal
Discussed in the project proposal are
the following:
• Design Brief
• Area of Study
• What is the product?
• Aim and Objectives
• Methodology

13. Problem Statement:
FNU Samabula Hostel students often complain about power outages during maintenances and heavy weather conditions.
Design Brief:
Design a product that will provide a light source during power outages, and can also be used casually as a bedside table
lamp.
The product should:
 use renewable energy to run without relying on non-renewable energy
• be made with recyclable materials such as plastic, cardboard, waste wood or trashed metal.

14. Background:
This project is considered as an experimental project due to the nature of the product. The first modern experiment on
induction of electricity via kinetic energy was conducted in Dubai in the year 2005, several decades after the death of
Nikola Tesla, who had first started the experiment in pursuit of wireless electricity. Various studies have also been done
on the use of magnet to produce electricity in the year 1989 in the United States of America after the war for the
advancement of the post-war society.

15. Area of Study:
The area of study is the Fiji National University’s Samabula
hostel. It is located in Ono Street, Samabula, Suva. The hostel
houses more than 100 rooms, with large rooms that can be
shared between two students and smaller rooms for
individuals. It also caters for food and laundry providing with
two lunch rooms and a kitchen which is used by all students.

16. Objectives:
The objectives of the project are as follows:
1. To design a light source that is eco-friendly and easy to use.
2. To create a product that is aesthetically pleasing and fits well into the bedroom environment.
3. To ensure that the product is safe and durable for everyday use.
4. To develop marketing materials that effectively communicate the benefits of the product to potential customers.

17. Action Plan:
 Conduct Research: conduct research on how kinetic energy can be forced via the use of magnet and if there is any product similar to
the project out in the world.
 Develop Project Proposal: propose a project proposal to the proper authority for approval and continuation with the project.
 Collect Materials: collect all necessary materials of the experimentation and creation of the model (prototype) as not all materials
may be readily available.
 Possible Solutions: draw up 3 possible and 1 final solution of the final product proposing different ideas of how it should work or
look.
 Documentation: documentation of the research, collection of materials and possible designs are a must for the efficient completion
of the project product.
 Experiment:
 Construction of the model: A working model is constructed to showcase how the final product will work
 Evaluate: The model will be analyzed according to a set criterion such as functionality, aesthetic and so on.
 Presentation: The working model will be presented and showcased expressing the workability of the project and final product.

18. Timeline:
 Conduct Research: Week 1
 Develop Project proposal: Week 2
 Collect materials: Week 3 - 4
 Possible Solutions: Week 5
 Documentation: Week 6
 Experiment: Week 8
 Construction of the model: Week 8 - 9

20. WEEK 4
• Material collection & Research
• Collected over the course of 5 weeks, starting
from week 4.
• Materials collection list:
 Wooden board
 Dynamo motor/ DC motor
 Disk
 Iron beads/ Iron nails
 Twin flex wire
 3w light bulb
 Waste bottles
 Palm sized magnet

21. Research:
The research process for an experimental project on using kinetic energy from a magnet to charge a bedside light source is a
potentially a first for Fiji’s university level project. The research on electricity creation via kinetic energy has been research before
in Dubai, Egypt, Japan and many other highly developed and technologically advanced countries (Beeby, Torah, & Tudor, 2008).
Experiments on induction of electricity by the use of magnetic field has been successfully conducted in the past in Egypt, Japan
and China. A famous product that came out as a result of this experiment was the transformer that is used in electrical appliances
and computers. As a result, we can properly say that theoretically, this project should be successful.
Historically, the very idea was proposed by the genius scientist Nikola Tesla when he was researching to create wireless electricity.
Creation of electricity via kinetic energy and creation of electricity via a magnetic field were two different experimental research
he had conducted for his final goal of wireless electricity, which unfortunately could not come into existence (New A. I. E. E
Officers, 1917).

22. Currently in the open world map, there are no similar products commercialized, so therefore there is no tradition behind this
project product.
There are many contemporary ideas that were found such as induction of electricity via magnetic field, or force of attraction and
repulsion. Even the idea of creating a fully functional powered humanoid robot to manually powered the motor to generate
electricity has been proposed in the past.
For experimental purposes, only the primary materials are required which consists of a dynamo motor, a palm sized magnet, iron
pins, positive and negative wires, and a light source.
There are many construction processes that can be used for this product, however, since it is an experimental project product, the
proper construction process and methods is hard to determine at this point in time. However, with the potential that this project
product carries, the correct construction method may become easier to determine and choose as the project comes to its final stages
and completion.
