Walking is the most common activity in our daily life. When we walk, we lose energy to the floor surface. Vibration is one form of energy that is transferred from our weight on to the floor surface during every step. This energy can be harvested and converted into electrical energy. This research addressed the design and construction of a power generating floor pad which can be used to harvest electricity from human footsteps. The electric generating floor pad features springs mounted on its four corners. When somebody walks though the surface of the floor pad, the springs will be compressed because of the weight of the person causing it to dip down slightly. The shaft of the permanent magnet generator will rotate then rotate, thus voltage is generated. The generator can be connected to a battery so as to store electrical energy. Test performed on the device indicates that it is capable of converting human footsteps to a useful electrical energy to power small electrical devices. The magnitude of the generated voltage can be maximized by applying more force on the floor pad. The discharging time of the battery is longer when there are more footsteps applied to the floor pad. The device can be conveniently installed in the doorways of buildings or other heavy traffic areas. Through this research project, a new option for harnessing green electricity by footsteps is made available focusing on the use of springs and permanent magnet generators.

Intisari  — Setiap yang berputar memiliki potensi energi kinetik, tidak terkecuali putaran kubah masjid. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui potensi pemanfaatan kubah putar masjid sebagai penghasil energi listrik skala kecil. Generator yang diuji cobakan adalah generator magnet permanen dan generator DC yang dirangkaikan dengan turbin kubah putar. Pengujian dilakukan di dua lokasi, di Jembatan Musi 2 Palembang dan di perairan Sungsang Kabupaten Banyuasin untuk mengukur besaran tegangan dan arus output yang dihasilkan pada berbagai kecepatan angin menggunakan multimeter dan anemometer. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tegangan yang dihasilkan oleh putaran  kubah masjid menggunakan generator magnet permanen mampu mencapai 14,21 V pada kecepatan angin 3,8 m/det dibandingkan dengan generator DC yang hanya mencapai 3 V pada kecepatan angin 8 m/det. Jika ditinjau dari besaran arus, generator magnet permanen menghasilkan arus konstan sebesar 0,3 A sedangkan pada generator DC arus yang dihasilkan tidak terukur karena nilainya yang amat kecil. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kubah putar masjid dapat dijadikan sebagai turbin angin pada daerah yang memiliki kecepatan angin rendah. Kata kunci  — kubah masjid putar,generator magnet permanen,generatorDC, turbin angin kecepatan rendah       Abstract - Every spinning has kinetic energy potential; the mosque dome is no exception. This study aims to determine the potential use of the mosque's turning dome as a producer of small-scale electrical energy.  Two types of the generator were tested, which were permanent magnet generator and DC generator, which were coupled with a rotary dome turbine. The test was carried out at two locations, at Palembang Musi 2 Bridge and in the waters of Sungsang, Banyuasin Regency, to measure the amount of voltage and output current generated at various wind speeds using a multimeter and anemometer. The results showed that the voltage generated by the mosque's dome rotation using a permanent magnet generator was able to reach 14.21 V at wind speeds of 3.8 m / sec compared to DC generators, which only reached 3 V at 8 m / s wind speed. When viewed from the amount of current, permanent magnet generators produce a constant current of 0.3 A while in DC generators, the current generated is not measurable because the value is minimal. This research shows that the mosque's rotary dome can be used as a wind turbine in areas that have low wind speeds. Keywords - rotary mosque domes, permanent magnet generators, generator DC, low speed wind turbines

Telecommunications technology is developing very rapidly, ranging from users or engineers. The development of smartphone smartphones is also increasingly in demand, so that the use of electricity needs is also increasing. The need for electricity usage has resulted in more standing voltage in some settlements. The establishment of sutet will have a negative impact on public health. In addition, the influence of electrical energy on humans occurs because the electrical energy generated by electricity generation or electricity that is channeled gives rise to electromagnetic fields. The higher the voltage required by an equipment, the greater the electric field that is distributed. Besides that, it can also find ways to reduce the negative impact of the electric and magnetic fields produced by SUTET which impacts the process of the occurrence of electric and magnetic fields on SUTET. From the problems above, the author intends to determine the effect or correlation between the impact of SUTET on cellphone network transmissions or channels. This research can later determine the negative impact caused by SUTET for the surrounding community, and the impact of SUTET radiation on cellular networks.

<em>The need for electricity in Indonesia is very important considering the limited resources and the lack of manpower, making Indonesia desperately need to increase electricity generation. One source of energy that can be converted into electrical energy is tidal barrage using the tidal barrage method. The application of this energy is still very small in Indonesia but there are a number of areas that have the potential to be implemented by the power plant. Tidal power plants that utilize the potential energy contained in the differences in tides and tides of sea water by trapping water in dams and then moving water turbines and when the water turbine is connected to a generator can produce electrical energy. Related to how the output of the generated power can it is known by looking at what height the water level drives the turbine. This type of power plant is environmentally friendly because it does not damage the natural ecosystem and the dam can be used for various activities.</em><em></em>
