About Human Power Vehicle
This project was carried out as a team for an international event
that is the name itself suggests that all vehicles that are
powered only by human muscular strength.
The large area of HPV can be divided into many categories.
The most important vehicle is the bicycle , but one can find
HPV's in the air, in and under the water and also on
the rail.
Some HPV's are built for the competition to get faster and
faster like our’s, but mostly are for daily use.
NAME DEPARTMENTS
Ashish Gupta BRAKING AND TRANSMISSION
Shreyansh Jain BRAKING AND TRANSMISSION
Someshwar Sinha STEERING AND SUSPENSION
Saurav Singh STEERING AND SUSPENSION
AISI 1020 cold rolled steel pipes are used for constructing main
frame as well as steering system of the vehicle.
Disk brake and shoe brake are used to facilitate braking action.

METHODOLOGY USED IN THE PROJECT
BRAKING SYSTEM
STEERING SYSTEM
Steering is used to facilitate turning and balancing
action while riding a vehicle.
Steering system for a vehicle depends on number and
position of wheels on it.
SUSPENSION SYSTEM
TRANSMISSION SYSTEM
A transmission for a human powered vehicle (HPV), for transmitting a reciprocating pedal movement
into a rotational movement, comprising a pair of pedals suspended for reciprocating movement
,whereby gearing ratio has a minimum value when the respective pedal is in an intermediate position
between its extended position and its retracted position, a first major value when the respective pedal
is in its retracted position, and a second major value, when the respective pedal is in its extended
position, whereby the minimum value is smaller than either of the first and the second major value
Power transmission systems for a bicycle made use of chains, which from a chain wheel at the crank means
drives a chain sprocket which is directly connected to the drive wheel hub
The most widely used and known transmission is chain transmission that is widely distributed, found to
be used in almost all types of bicycles. It is also important to know that we also use gears and cardan shafts.
These vehicles are going to be the future. Even today such special vehicles are designed for movement within
a large institute.
INNOVATIVE DESIGN: As an HPV, there can be a lot of design of these cycles provide versatility in them and
any of them can be preferred according to the demand of work.
CHAINLESS TRANSMISSION: Many modifications like chainless assembly or idler gear transmission can be used
to increase the speed and efficiency of the vehicle.
IMPROVED BRAKING: Hydraulic brakes in place of mechanical brakes can be used to increase the braking
safety of the vehicle.
E-GADGETS/SENSORS: There is a lot more to think about its modification scope, as the whole idea
is new and demands innovation in every aspect. Even proximity sensors can be used to provide
extra support to the rider while riding and such a lot more
