High-Level Project Summary
Magnitis Exousia is a source of energy gained from magnet and dynamo. An inclined magnet with one side sealed and a horizontal magnet can form a force of repulsion and create a torque with a complete cycle to form electricity with a dynamo. There is a circular disk at the bottom that can stitch the stands together. Our projects solves not one but different problems from lighting up rural with electricity to being a reliable source of energy for satellites, space stations etc. it could be important cause its reliable long lasting for example a cobalt magnet takes 700 hundred years to loose half of its strength. the only 2 factors that affect it is high temperature and strong magnetic field.

Detailed Project Description
"Magnitis Exoasia" is composed of two words MAGNITIS which was what the Greeks called the first magnet they found and EXOASIA which mean great power. Our project provides sufficient energy for space satellites instead of using solar panels and addition consumption of fuel .its use is not just for powering satellites but can be used as a power source for anything. Its benefits are they do not depend on sunlight energy unlike solar panels, and unlike solar panels they don't release toxic materials for the process of their production and they work perfectly in the vacuum and in the absence of a gravitational field . It follows the common laws of magnets which states that like poles attract each other and unlike poles each other, so we used the force of repulsion of like poles to create a torque with a complete cycle and used a generator to convert that circular motion to electricity. so its basically an inclined magnet with one side sealed and a horizontal magnet can form a force of repulsion and create a cycle to form electricity with a dynamo. There is a circular disk at the bottom that can stitch the stands together. This device is sealed with a fixed temperature on a satellite to be a permanent and totally independent source of energy.
The energy formed is reliable until no external factor affects it, there should be a constant temperature to keep the magnetic properties unremoved. We hope to achieve a sustainable source of energy for space satellites that is self-sufficient. We used AutoCAD for 3D printing and simulation, NASA open data sources and some programming languages for the color coding. We also used hardware such as a magnet which is the main component and a dynamo to turn it into electricity. We want to access reliable and permanent energy not only for space satellites but also for energy-consuming devices. what we wish to achieve is to prevent pollution since we have provided a power source pollution free, secure reliable form of energy at any harsh conditions considering its limitations at high temperatures, to see our product solve disputes over water dams since my country Ethiopia is in the worlds biggest water dispute, and to see our project manufactured and become to a handy use. thank u
Space Agency Data
We have searched on energy sources of space satellites, mainly on the NASA open data sources. We used these resources to filter out drawbacks of using solar panels and how using "Magnitis Exousia" can solve it. These findings inspired us because any invention is created to solve a problem, and so is ours. It specified the drawbacks of solar panels which we can solve. Nowadays, chemical batteries and nuclear devices are also being used, which are expensive and have a short life expectancy, they are also space pollutants. Unlike these, we made a project which is easy to implement and always regenerates energy continually. It can decrease the pollution in space and it is reliable.
Hackathon Journey
Our first Hackathon challenge was a new experience for our team. This challenge helped us explore more about space and NASA data resources and gave us some insight into GitHub and AutoCAD. We have progressed leadership and creativity skills on real life problems on this challenge. We have learnt from each other's success and failure and it gave us an opportunity to meet professionals. We wanted to do this challenge to show our creativity and we wanted to solve some crucial problems. We wanted to help the NASA community and contribute our share to decrease space pollution. The earth is ours, and we have a responsibility to keep it safe to live. We had a set of challenges like unstable network connection but we overcame these obstacles together and with tolerance. We want to thank the NASA space apps challenge for giving us this opportunity and we also want to thank the teammates for co-operating successfully. Generally, our hackathon journey was fun and exquisite.
