Mechanical Part

WEEK 8

Title: Pedal and Generator
Objective: To determine the basic operation of the project.
Content: Let be clear. This project is more toward the mechanical part. As it consumes more on power pedal, therefore I must concentrate on the pedal itself. Pedal power is the transfer of energy from a human source through the use of a foot pedal and crank system. As we can see, the image that I provide is about two different thing. But this two different thing is totally related to each other. The one is the pedal system and the other one is generator or alternator.  The basic operation of this project is when sufficient amount of power is applied by means of pedal's pressing through pulley and belt, then it provide a continuous reaction toward the shaft of alternator. At the same time, the flywheel continue to rotate in presence of the spring. Thus, the system will not require much input power, but only a few touch to it. 

Analysis: The image shows that 1 turn in pedal power provide 4 turns in generator/alternator. It gives a greater output at the end.
