This research aims to design and test a genset fuel conversion system from gasoline to HHO gas (brown gas) as a more environmentally friendly alternative. Conventional fossil-fueled generators face challenges in theform of limited resources and the impact of environmental pollution. In this study, HHO gas is produced through a water electrolysis process using an HHO generator that separates water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen using electric current. The test results show that increasing the voltage from 2.58 V to 5.12 V significantly increases the volume of gas produced. At a voltage of 2.58 V, the gas volume reached 110 ml, and increased to 750 ml at a voltage of 4.72 V. The generator set was successfully operated for 1 minute 15 seconds with HHO gas using a separate battery power source. These results demonstrate the potential of HHO gas as an efficient alternative fuel for generator sets. This study recommends further testing with voltage and current variations to find the optimal configuration, as well as the use of a larger power source to increase the efficiency of HHO gas electrolysis.

  Utilization of new renewable energy is a solution to meet the increasing electricity demand, one of which is solar power generation technology. Solar panels are a renewable power generator that is environmentally friendly. The relatively low and unstable output voltage of PV is affected by solar irradiation, which becomes a constraint. Therefore, by utilizing a boost converter, the solar panel system is able to work 25% more optimally compared to without using a boost converter. The performance of solar panels when using a boost converter is around 83.3% and without using it, the performance is only about 58.3%. The average output power when using the boost converter is 1,521 W, whereas without using the boost converter, the average output power is 1,172 W. This indicates that the output power is more stable when using the boost converter compared to not using it. This research focuses on a boost converter with PID control as a support, optimizer, and voltage stabilizer where the output power on the solar panel is expected to be more optimal and the output from the solar panel is more stable with more optimal results in various conditions. In this study, 12 solar panels of 125 WP with a capacity of 1.5 KW are used in series-parallel to obtain the required power. If the output from the solar panel is insufficient due to weather conditions, the voltage will be increased by the boost converter towards the inverter so that the voltage remains stable into the inverter with the boost converter. This boost converter uses PID control to keep the output voltage stable.

Making durable preparations includes a fixation process using 10% KOH, dehydration, clearing and mounting. Clearing aims to make the morphological structure of a sample or object appear clearer, more transparent and clearer. In this research, the solution used was xylol solution and eucalyptus oil. Xylol is a solution that is not environmentally friendly, because it comes from petroleum or liquid asphalt. Meanwhile, eucalyptus oil is a solution obtained from the distillation of eucalyptus leaves which is environmentally friendly and easy to obtain and has non-polar properties which can remove residues in paraffin in preparations, so it can be used as a substitute for xylol. This research aims to describe the quality of preserved Ctenocephalides canis preparations in the clearing process using xylol and eucalyptus oil. The samples in this study were 24 adult Ctenocephalides canis. The results of the study showed that the durable preparations using xylol received 4 good preparations, 5 fairly good preparations, and 3 poor preparations. Meanwhile, the results of durable preparations using eucalyptus oil were 5 good preparations, 6 quite good preparations, and 1 bad preparation. So it can be concluded that making permanent preserved preparations for Ctenocephalides canis is better using eucalyptus oil compared to xylol.
