Abstract:

People often use hand brushes, scraping knives, and other manual implements to wash and rinse interlocking stones. Since technology is seen as the driving force behind rapid development, this research aims to produce a 220-volt mobile interlocking stone washing machine. The magnetic field is used as a coupling medium between electrical and mechanical systems. The electromechanical energy conversion takes place through the medium of a magnetic field. This research sought to use technology in the washing of interlock stones. It adopted electromechanical energy conversion through the use of an inverter, battery, electric motor, and cup wire brush. The device was tested on dirty interlock stones, and the efficiency was compared with manual washing. The result in time percentage between manual washing and the use of the device washing was compared in 3 areas of its effectiveness. The graphs and pie chart of the results show that the interlock washing machine is more effective with less stress and more accomplishment. It is recommended that this device be used by private, public, and corporate institutions; be used by students of electrical and electronic engineering who are researching electromechanical principles, energy conversion, and scientific research; be used by Kenule Beeson Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic management for local and international exhibitions; be expanded upon for further research; and, on a bigger size of this machine, the innovators be sponsored for mass production.
