Researchers

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

The researchers would like to gratefully acknowledge and extend gratitude, sincerest
thanks and deepest appreciation to the following persons to make this research study
possible.

First and foremost to Almighty God the Father, for the wisdom, strength, perseverance
and knowledge He has bestowed upon the members during the making of this research
study.

To their research adviser, Engr. Aileen S. Lladoc for her benevolent guidance,
valuable advices and support in the endeavor of our research study and to our research
instructor, Engr. Almira K. Velasco for giving us also guidance to make our research study
able to happen. And also to the Electrical Engineering Instructor of College of Engineering
Department of Camarines Norte State College for entertaining us if we have questions and
doubts.

To the past researcher, Engr. Paulite, Engr. Montalban, Engr. Maravilla and Engr.
Vasquez for letting us use their unused copper and aluminum for free and for giving us
ideas and supports to make this research study achievable.

To their parents, Noli R. Esperas & Evangeline M. Esperas, Elmer S. Sioco Sr. &
Nena S. Sioco, Leonilo M. Villasanta & Angelita D. Villasanta for giving us supports

16
financially and emotionally and for being always there during our ups and downs and for
understanding and extending their unconditional moral support.

To their classmates and friends especially to Team DICKIES, for extending their
support and imparting their knowledge that greatly contribute in the success of this
research study.

And lastly, to all those who made the completion of this research possible, sincerest
words of thanks are conveyed especially to the vendor of coconut in the Public Market of
Daet.

The Researcher

DEDICATION

This research study is humble dedicated above all to our Lord God that in the beginning

guide us and helps us in every steps of this study, because of His grace and wonderful

creation, the coconut, this research become possible; and to our parents, for their patience

and understanding. To every people never cease to believe that this research will be a

success and believe in every impossible will be possible.

 ABSTRACT

RESEARCH TITLE : DEVELOPMENT OF PORTABLE LAMP

POWERED BY MATURED COCONUT WATER

PROPONENTS : LARA ANDREA D. VILLASANTA

MYRINE YSOBELLE S. SIOCO

NOLI JR. M. ESPERAS

KEYWORDS : PORTABLE LAMP, COCONUT WATER, REDOX

In this research, the proponents developed a portable lamp powered by matured

coconut water. This portable lamp is designed to be convenient and able to use for at least

four hours or more. Coconut water is rich with essentials electrolyte that when undergone

redox reaction it can generate electrical energy. The proponents compared the performance

of young and matured coconut water as an electrolyte; the changed in voltage output of

stored matured coconut water; amount of matured coconut water needed that capable to

last for four hour; the discharging rate of portable lamp; and how long will electrode will

lasted. This research used experimental method to answers the problems. It also included

the design and fabrication of the portable lamp. The portable lamp is consists of three

layers the base, the bulb holder and frame. The proponents found out that matured coconut

water is more efficient to use as an electrolyte compare to young coconut water; 1440mL

of matured coconut water is more suitable to use in lighting the portable lamp that last for

17 hours; and the matured coconut water has the capacity of 9.6064Ah. This research

study will be beneficial to the residential off-grid and near at coconut farms to have a

19
sustainable lighting by means of coconut water which is abundant in their area; it is also

beneficial to the coconut industry to have another means of product through the portable

lamp powered by matured coconut water and to increase their means of living.
