Abstract:
The efficiency of power produced by magnetic flux in the coil has been analyzed using various forms of coil section. Magnetic flux was produced by magnets which were moved radially with a certain rotational speed. Meanwhile, a coil placed close to the magnets will produce an electromotive force (emf) according to Faraday's law. Besides affecting the magnitude of emf, the shape of coils also affected the power loss due to partial of magnetic field radially dispersed or didn't go through a coil cross-section. It caused only a portion of the magnetic field would be converted. Therefore, this study aims to reduce the power loss by various type of coil design i.e. round-shaped coil, square-shaped coil, and cone-shaped coil. The coil was formed by the same wire with a length of 60 m to produce the same resistance. The results showed that at a speed of 1100 rpm, the voltage which obtained using round-shaped coil, square-shaped coil, and cone-shaped coil respectively of 1.26 Volts and 1.01 Volts and 1.5 Volts and 1.88 Volts.
