INTRODUCTION

Background of the study

Agricultural productivity mostly depends on the availability of water. Thus, irrigation is the main source of
agriculture's productivity. Irrigation is the artificial application of water to maximize the potential growth
of plants. Moreover, it improves the quality of plants and controls water supply. Specifically, Philippines
is said as an agricultural country which relies more on the irrigation system to sustain the productions of
crops. The National Irrigation Administration (NIA) stated that about 10.3 million hectares are considered
agricultural lands, with 3.1 million hectares of irrigable lands inside of it. Unfortunately, due to continuous
climate change, the water supplies for agriculture in the country encounters struggles on how to maintain
the qualities of irrigation that leads to the lackness of qualities especially to the crops the country produced,
and the unpredictable changes that affect the schemes of the local farmers.

Water pumps are one of the conveniently operated devices to perform different irrigation system. In
addition, modern agricultural irrigation consisting of the usage of different water pumps. Bagdasarian
(2013) stated that water pumps can sustain the productivity and profitability of the farmers that at the same
manner, it provides optimizing solutions for the usage of water and energy.

However, most of the water pumps in the industry needed electricity as well as fuel in order to operate.
With this situation a new problem exists such as the high cost of the electricity in powering water pumps,
difficulties in setting up the water pumps, commercial water pumps require more attention in maintaining
its productivity, and modern irrigation farming relies on the massive usage of fuel and electricity. The
researchers come up with this problems to innovate water pumps that will lessen and moreover to eliminate
this problems through the use of Magnetic-powered Water pumps. With the use magnetic force that will
give rotational movement, mechanical motion can be obtained. It is supported by a discovery of Dr. Kozeka
(2019) with his research of Kedron Energy: A Motor Driven by Permanent Magnets Alone. Which he
indicated that the sequential process or repulsion and attraction that is similarly happens to an electric motor
can be used to generate a mechanical motion device. Hughes & Drury stated that the permanent magnets
are efficient to induction of motors. Similarly to a D.C. Motor the movement of the magnets can produce a
mechanical effect to run a certain motor. (2019)

The aim of this project is to produce a water pump that will help agriculture to sustain its water supply
without relying on the fuel and electricity consumption. In addition, it can help to the community as well
as to the environment.
Statement of the Problem

1. What kind of magnet does water pump need to sustain its effectivity?

2. How does the magnetic-powered water pump reduce the consumption of fuel and electricity?

3. What is the comparison between magnetic power pump and commercialize water pump?

Hypothesis

1. The magnetic powered water pumps uses neodymium magnet to sustain its effectivity.

2. Magnetic powered water pumps reduces fuel consumption due to magnetic force as its power source.

3. Magnetic powered water pump have advantages for irrigation system.

Significance of the Study

Farmers-Farmers can increase yield by irrigating more land and by growing multiple crops year-round and
by rotating crops. Pump irrigation reduces labor for water delivery. By targeting water at a crop's roots, drip
irrigation can reduce weed and disease pressures, and increase efficiency of chemical applications and
because of this magnetic powered pump the local farmer can easily produce more crops moreover the
quality of our crops will improve , the way of irrigation will be more easier than commercial water pump
and it is cheaper.

Community - This study may also benefit the community which the magnetic pump is more efficient and
sustainable than normal water pumps. It also helps the community to improve our irrigation system into the
farmers in the community. This study can also help our daily lives where in it will reduce the pollution and
be basis for more innovative projects.

Environment - it will increased storage of groundwater that may be used for irrigation, household and
pumping from wells. It is also Non-toxic and does not emit greenhouse effect unlike the other water pumps
that use oil as fuels and emit smoke.
Economic growth- it also help our economy because of the productivity of crops that leads to higher
volumes which can stabilize and grow domestic and export markets , as well as lower food prices for
consumers . It also lead to massive production of agriculture that farmers can grow new crops, which allows
consumers to enjoy more choices in local markets.

Government- it will creates opportunities to lift people out of poverty in developing nations. It creates more
jobs , begin with farmers , and continuing with farm equipment and advance magnetic powered water
pumps and the consumption of funds on agriculture will be lessen and the government excess profits will
focus to other projects.

Future Researcher-They can use this as inspiration to innovate and improve it further. This also can be
used as reference for further studies.

Scope and limitation of the Study

The coverage of this study is to utilize the magnetic powered water pump as an alternative source of
energy in the vicinity Barangay Silangan, Magasawang Sapa, Santa Maria Bulacan especially to the farmers
that grow crops during the month of November 2019 to March 2020. With the use of magnetic force that
will give rotational movement a mechanical motion can be obtained. The repulsive force between the poles
repels the electromagnet along its path of motion. If polarity of the rotor is not reversed, the attractive force
that pulled the electromagnet toward the permanent magnet will prevent the electromagnet from escaping
and cause it to return and rest opposite the permanent magnet. The device can be use magnets even without
battery.

Data Analysis

The Researchers created magnetic power water pump by putting 20 neodymium magnets that capable to
run a motor on a mechanical motion. The mechanical motion is capable to pump water that will be observed
by the researchers. Also we will connect a string outside of water pump to exert more power. It will serve
as the source of main movements of the motor.

Risk and Precaution

The magnet known as neodymium is the vital part in our magnetic powered pump. Magnet is useful and
fun but there are some hazard or danger in how we use it. Neodymium magnets are strong once they attract
and if both magnets collide toward each other with great speed/acceleration there are possibilities that the
magnet will shatter and explode and the broken pieces will go into someone eyes and they have surprisingly
power that it may cause a cut or blood blisters .Always wear heavy duty working gloves (with impact
protection), goggles and steel-toe boots.

Also Neodymium magnets are made up in Nickel plated. Nickel is a metal which can cause allergic
reaction to a person who exposed to long term contact to a thing that release nickel.

Waste Disposal
Magnetic powered water pump is made up by magnet to operate. It’s composed of different material to
build up. One of our materials is PVC pipe (Polyvinyl Chloride) is one of the most prevalent thermoplastics.
PVC plastic create a lot of landfill problem by their potential for leaching chlorine carcinogens and other
toxic chemicals into the soil and air that can contaminate groundwater and air quality , its affecting humans
and environment so the researchers will recycle it , either by sorting the waste plastics using hand or
automatically. We will use the method mechanical recycling. Magnets (Neodymium) can re-use again
because it has a 100 years lifespan if not exposed in heat. Metals are important versatile and can be used in
many ways, so the researchers will recycle it to produce another output.
