1. Introduction Fig.1, Sample result of frequency sweep without resonator.

Chicken bones waste is often produced in
very large quantities by the kitchen of researchers’
school dining room. The waste is immediately
disposed of without being processed first. Although
the chicken bone is organic waste, but without
processing it will still cause environmental pollution. Fig.2, Sample result of frequency sweep with resonator.
Chicken bones are known to have high levels of silica.
However, until now this has not been utilized. Silica is
also known to be one of the elements that can produce
piezoelectric effects. Piezoelectric materials can turn
mechanical stresses, like pressure, sound waves, and
other vibrations into electricity and vice versa. This is
what inspires researchers to make electrical energy
from a piezoelectric material made from chicken Fig.3, comparison between the result of impulse test witout
bones waste. resonator (black) and with resonator (dotted).

2. Research Method
This research was conducted by ultilizing the
silica component from chicken bone waste. Silica is a
piezoelectric component, because of its tetrahedral
structure. Piezoelectric components can be use to
convert sound waves, pressure, and vibration to
electricity, and vice versa.
By this research, researchers will use the
chicken bone wastes from the dorm’s dining room as
a base material. The chicken bones will be processed
into some kind of plates. This plates will be stacked
up as a series circuit and have capasitor installed and
it will be connected to a multimeter to measure the
electricity produced.
This Plates also will be tested on electric
devices such as lamps, and radio. To see the beneficial
of the ultilization. For the short term. This plates will
be applicated to lights in school’s area. Such as street
and signpost lights.

From the result acquired (Fig.4), the lag and
the strength of each reverb can be known. After
knowing the characteristic of the resonator, a filter
cam created.
4. Conclusion
The unique sound produced by the traditional
Sasando is caused by the material, texture, and the
shape of the leaf resonator. By using a filter, we can
mimic the characteristics of the resonator. A program
can be created to implement the filter on the electric
instrument. Using the program, the Instrument can
still be portable and have unique characteristics at the
same time.

3. Results and Analysis
By examining Fig.1 and Fig.2, the difference
between the two graphs can be seen. The resonator
affects the higher notes which in this case is
dampened.
