ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful. Praise to Allah this project

has successfully done.

First of all, I would like to convey greatest gratitude to my eloved parents and family who

always supports and have faith in me to conduct this project. !hank you and high

appreciation I would like to e"press to the most determined Prof. #r. Fu$iah inti %ulaiman

who works as a lecturer in &niversiti !eknologi MA'A. (e"t, I would also like to say thankyou to my educated advisor, Ms. %iti (a$irah inti Au )akar and also Ms. %ya$lina inti

%amsudin who always there to give me full inspiration without any hesitation.

ABSTRACT

A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF CITRUS SINENSISAND GARCINIA MANGOSTANAPEELS AS A GREEN SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY

(ur %haira Adlin inti (asari

M'%M Merok, edah

Fruit peel wastes like Citrus Sinensisand Garcinia Mangostanapeels had contriute negative

impacts to the environment whereas chemicals in dry cells will cause detrimental effects on

health and the environment. 'esearch had shown Citrus Sinensisand Garcinia Mangostana

peels produce voltage in compressed condition.

!he Citrus Sinensis and Garcinia Mangostanapeels were grinded and dried in - hours

duration. !hese peels have een compressed in marker pen caps of e/ual si$es. Magnesium

and copper electrode were dipped into the compressed Citrus Sinensis and Garcinia

Mangostanapeels. !he readings were measured using multimeter. )ased on the e"periment,

the use of replicated and doule compartments of compressed Citrus Sinensisand Garcinia

Mangostanapeels will produce doule of the voltage. !he compressed Citrus Sinensis and

Garcinia Mangostanapeels in a marker cap produced 0.1 2 while five marker cap of e/ual

si$e will produce 3.3 2 to 4.4 2.

!here are many enefits of this project that can e contriuted to the scientific community.

Firstly, this project is environmental friendly which will reduce the amount of solid wastes in

the world wide. %econdly, this project is completely harmless as it is non5to"ic and non5

chemical content. !hirdly, the Citrus Sinensis and Garcinia Mangostana peels

environmental5friendly attery is portale. *ast ut not least, as we know the chemical

attery nowadays were costly ut this project guarantee a low cost and environmental5

friendly attery.
