Abstract
This paper presents the concept of energy recycling as a solution to the epileptic nature of the power supply in Nigeria. The design uses dc/ac motor cascaded to an ac alternator through a pulley system. A dc supply is used to excite the dc motor, this in-turn, links the ac alternator through a pulley-belt system, and the output voltage generated by this system gives 240 volts which is used to run ac loads at homes, offices and industries. This system is efficient and reliable since the power generated can be recycled to keep the system running.
