Having decided to use the 'Door Generator' as our idea, we went ahead with soldering together our prototype. Our prototype would consist of three main components: a dynamo, diode bridge and suspension system. The dynamo would be to generate electricity; the diode bridge would be to convert an alternating current into a direct current which is required for changing batteries; the suspension system would act as a shock absorber and ensure that there is sufficient torque to keep the wheel rolling, as well as keeping the wheel in contact with the floor to make our invention more efficient.
The actual process of making our prototype was not as difficult as we had thought. The materials needed to make the prototype only cost $23.80, and the process of making the prototype was relatively smooth without any major problems.
