Abstract

The steam power system is the main source of electricity in decades, and using dungs from various animals to study their capacity in contributing steam power is still ongoing, in this paper we implemented a mini steam power system to compare variety of animal dungs. This system uses animal waste especially Camel manure, Cow dung and goats’ dung by using a three-step process to generate electricity from steam: first , we burned camel manure, cow manure, and goat manure; second, water is converted to high-pressure steam; then, high-pressure steam is rotates a turbine shaft which drives the electric generator and producing electricity. and it does greatly reduces the dependence on Fuel and provides the way that benefits for the community. The results indicate that per kg (kilogram) of cow manure generates more power than other animal’s dung because of durability and duration of burning each of them. The system used to implement is affordable, flexible and has fast monitoring energy.
