Energy generation in exercise pedals by using 3-speed sprockets – A Review Paper
Keywords:
Exercises pedal, Sprockets, Energy generation, Battery chargingAbstract
This project is to generate energy by exercise bicycle and gives importance of
human power as an alternative energy source. Here, we present our idea to attach two extra
sprockets and increase output speed. This could be joined with generator to produce
electricity and so by increasing output speed, electricity production can be increased. This
can be used for mass production so that more energy can be produced. Also can be used to
charge batteries so that energy can be utilized later, operate various home appliances, water
pump, harvesting activities in agriculture sector and simultaneously useful for physical
fitness of operator. The design was originally conceived to meet the energy needs of those
living in rural areas, due to poor access to electricity and also as a model for gym centers
and cycle workout studios.
