11 tutors develop renewable energy machine
Mr Abban demonstration how machine works
A team of 11 tutors and workers from various institutions in the Eastern Region have developed a self-sustaining renewable energy machine code named ‘Dynamic Adaptive Limited Air Hybrid Power system (DALHAP).
The team leader, Mr John Abban, a tutor at the Koforidua Technical University (KTU), demonstrated how the machine works to a section of the media in the New Juaben North Municipality on Tuesday.
According to him, it was the first of its kind in the world and no name has been found for the breakthrough yet.
He said it was a zero carbon energy and 24-hour source of power supply for both domestic and commercial use.
Mr Abban said Ghana as part of the global world, has had its share of the ripples of climate changes, which has led to formation of policies and laws to reduce carbon emissions through regulation of human activities, use of certain kinds of machines and gadgets and adoption of new technologies.
He said the new machine was their contribution to support efforts by the scientific community to reduce carbon emissions, fight climate change and to bring dependable clean and safe energy closer to the people.
Speaking on the sources of power of the machine, he said it operates on the main power supply from the national grid, storage batteries, lead acid, lithium -ion, solar panels, compressed -air charge in tanks(air battery) and a wind turbine.
He said the new machine has an advantage over tidal wave energy, solar, wind, water energy batteries, mechanical energy batteries, flywheel energy batteries and chemical energy batteries.
