Abstract
Today Nigeria faces a destabilizing dependency on irreplaceable fossil fuel which are also rapidly dwindling. As shortages of oil and natural gas occur with more frequency, the “New Energy Crisis” is now heralded in the news media. However, an alternate source of energy that can replace fossil fuels has not been reliably demonstrated. A real need exists for a portable source of power that can compete with fossil fuel and its energy density. A further need exists on land, in the air, and in space, for a fuelless source of power which, by definition, does not require re-fueling. The future freedom, and quite possibly the future survival, of mankind depend on the utilization of such a source of energy, if it exists.
Therefore, in order to find other ways of producing energy, a number of alternatives have been considered. One of these alternatives is the generation of electricity from a fuelless engine in an isolated power generation system with low maintenance cost. The need for new energy sources has led to a number of alternatives, which have been unaffordable and unavailable due to huge cost and scarcity. In response to this, fuelless generator was designed and developed using local materials. The driving mechanism of the fuelless generator is the 50kg flywheel powered by stretching and compressing of four springs placed opposite to each other which spines the 7kw AC generator to produce electricity. The highest voltage generated is 0.31v which means more research work needs to be carried out on the machine and the perpetual motion machine needs to be adjusted so it can produce more torque to power the flywheel efficiently. The fuelless generator is pollution free and eco-friendly
