Abstract:

S/A Sasquatch: Mobile charging phone Charging Station for Universidad de Zamboanga Students. It is a device that can charge a phone one at a time. It is charged via renewable source of energy. Piezoelectric sensor was installed inside a stepping device to conduct a current that generates into voltage. The piezoelectric sensor is an AC voltage. The aim of this study is to know how much voltage that gathers from each step of students that would pass by the device and how many cellphone/s can be charge in a day. The said device has five (5) major components. The five (5) major components are the following: Rectifier, Step-Up Module, Battery Management System (BMS), Battery and Step-Down Module. The rectifier converts AC voltage into DC voltage. The Step-Up Module increased the minimum voltage that passed through it. The Battery Management System (BMS) monitors the battery via application. The battery stores the generated voltage from the piezoelectric device. The Step-down module converts the 12V into 5V to charge a mobile phone. The circuit that was used in the device was parallel circuit. The gathered data from S/A Sasquatch was based on the output that was produced by stepping on it. The students need to step into the device to produce a voltage. Each step per students need to produce an output at least minimum of 2.4V for the step-up module to operate. The step-up module was set up for it to boost the voltage that was produced when stepping into Sasquatch.
