A total of 13 children of the country who are students and alumni of the Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) managed to take advantage of ocean currents as much as 10 kVA power plant that could supply the electrical needs of the village.
"Not only that, in February we are going to install turbines in cooperation with the Suramadu bridge-Binamarga Public Works Department, which will turn on 1000 lamps longest bridge," said Fitus deus prizfelix, one of the ocean current turbine developers who are also alumni of ITB PT TiFiles Indonesia, at the JCC, Jakarta, Friday (01/20/2012).
Deus said the initial idea came from the development of ocean current power project using river currents.
"In 2005 we led the former rector of ITB, the late Alexander Alisabana, doing lots of research, initially had only 10 students. Before our mentor's death, advised, not to study just to decorate the library," he said.
"With embroidery round, 2006 we successfully developed the turbine with the flow of the river. At that time our new turbines generating 500 watts. Small is still, to a home is still lacking," said Deus.
Continued development team that has grown to 13 people. Finally in 2008 after doing some experiments, the turbines installed in the sea.
"In 2008 we first put on the Pantai Mutiara, Jakarta. And electricity generated can be increased to 2,500 watts," he said.
The second trial in early 2009, done by installing a turbine in Nusa Penida, Bali. "The electric power generated can be increased to 5,000 watts, and at the end of 2009 we were able to produce turbine power up to 10 kVA or ballpark has been able to turn on the power of the village," he said.
Asked how much money is spent on the construction of this ocean current turbines. "Gee, if only to fund research that could reach billions of dollars spent, the fund donations were from the late Professor. Iskandar, and the private individual, and donations from our university facilities, it does not include other funds to the creation of a turbine Our artificial standard, "he said.
Of all the turbine components, all from locally made, only one material to be imported the magnet, because there is no sale in Indonesia.
"For those interested, we membandrol price of Rp 400 million and from a variety of experiments, we turbine lifetime could be more than 5 years," he said.
Added CEO of this project, Nurana Beautiful Paramita, in addition to Suramadu project, his team has also been working with a large hall River LIPI-engineering-Subang appropriate technology, and the Ministry of Research and Technology.
"Moreover, Mr. Dahlan (Minister for SOEs) very interested, we will do a meeting to discuss the project for the development of renewable energy to foreign policy," said Young Independent Category winner I organized Technopreneur 2011 the Bank Mandiri.
