Electrical Analysis of Red Dragon Fruit Stem (Hydrocereus polyrhizus) as a Source of Electrical Energy

Abstract

This research aims to analyze electricity in the red dragon of fruit stem. The dragon fruit stem used are the red dragon fruit stem (Hydrocereus Polyrhizus). The type of research used is experimental research. The testing phase is the measurement of electricity from the paste and red dragon fruit stalks using a variation of time and number of stem. The highest research results were found in 5 red dragon fruit stick paste arranged in series, were (current 0.1 mA; voltage 2.8 V; power 0.28 W; energy 504 J). We found the highest research results in 15 red dragon fruit stick paste arranged in series, namely (current 0.35 mA; voltage 9.2 V; power 3.22W). We found the highest research results in 15 red dragon fruit stick paste arranged in parallel, namely (current 2 mA; voltage 1 V; power 1.92 W). The conclusion of this research is that the longer the time variation, the lower the current, voltage, power, and energy, while the more the variation in the number of stem, the greater the current, voltage, power, and energy produced.
