# Home-Based Energy Generator Design
## Power Output Calculation
Power (P) = Voltage (V) × Current (I)
### Example:
1 kW:
P = 1,000 W
V = 10,000 V
I = P / V = 0.1 A
10 kW:
P = 10,000 W
V = 10,000 V
I = P / V = 1 A
## Coil Dimensions
### Primary Coil:
Inductance (L_p) = (μ_0 × N_p^2 × A_p) / l_p
### Secondary Coil:
Resonance Frequency (f) = 1 / (2 × π × √(L_s × C_s))
## Material Calculation
### Wire Gauge:
– AWG 10 or thicker
### Core Material:
– Ferrite or iron
## Energy Storage
Energy Required = Power × Time
For 1 kW running 24 hours:
Energy Required = 1,000 W × 24 hours = 24 kWh
Conversion
1 cubic foot = 1,728 cubic inches
Given:
Power Density = 0.5 kW per cubic foot
Energy Density in Cubic Inches: ≈0.000289kW/in^3
Expected Power Output: 2.89 watts
