Abstract — Energy is the most important of all
resources, while sustainability concept is focuses on the
long term survival of communities. Energy need of the
world is growing day by day because of consumption of
energy at a larger extent with the population growth.
Energy resource mainly decides the development of any
nation. Hence we need to look at various different
means of power generation. This project is about
generating power by using a swing, which is used by
children for playing that will produce electricity when
being used. In such a way that when it swings the
mechanical energy is generated and it is converted into
electrical energy by a commutator and is stored in a
battery. The construction is such a way that, the
swinging action makes the horizontal beam rotating
through an angle. This shaft is connected to a sprocket
to transfer the motion to the free wheel which rotates
proportionally with respect to the angle of motion of the
swing. The angular movement is converted into a
complete rotation with the help of a chain drive
connecting both sprocket and free wheel. The free wheel
is connected to a shaft which in turn rotates the spur
gear and dynamo arrangement to generate electricity.
Keywords—Swing; energy; bearings; sprocket;
freewheel; chain drive; dynamo; eco- friendly.
1. INTRODUCTION
Energy is the driving force of modern
societies, and generation and utilization of energy are
essential for socio- economic development. Per-capita
energy consumption levels are often considered a
good measure of economic development. In recent
years, energy scarcity has become a serious problem
due to depletion of non-renewable energy sources,
increasing population, globalization of energy
intensive economic development, environmental
pollution, and global warming.
In recent years, there have been many interesting
developments in the field of human power
conversion. In the Present project, a method of
harnessing the power of Children’s play in play
grounds and public places, on device such as swing is
proposed.
When large number of children plays in a school
playground, part of the power of their play can
usefully be harnessed resulting in significant energy
storage. This stored energy can then be converted to
electricity for powering basic, low power appliances
in the school such as lights, fans, communications
equipment, and so on. The method provides a low-
cost, low resource means of generation of auxiliary
electric power, especially for use in developing
countries. This swing electricity project not only
generates electricity but also can be a very useful tool
to educate children to learn to conserve energy. This
project utilizes energy that is given away while
playing.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY
The study Gokul and Cyril John Tellis [1], as
every single details about the design of the swing is
listed in this journal with all its 2-D, 3-D model and
calculations. Calculations are important but for only
fabrication it’s not much important to go deep in the
design of the swing.
The paper which is proposed by Pandian [2], is all
about generation of power in small scale using man
power in a playful manner and utilizes that power in
our daily life. It describes about the requirement and
consumption of power in our daily routine and
power is generated using play ground equipment’s
like swing, see-saw, and merry go-round etc.
Mithun Gajbhiye et al.[3] explained that with the
demand for energy requirements increasing
tremendously, it can be met by alternative energy
resources such as Gravity. Particularly, it can
generate more power compared to the other type of
nonconventional energy. In addition, this alternative
energy source offers benefits such as easy
deploying, low installation cost and maintenance
systems, and less operating cost. In terms of
operational lifetime, installation cost and reliability,
so a Pendulum Power Generator is considered as a
promising alternate for traditional power sources.
Man has always been in detection of energy to meet
his ever increasing demand. In recent times due to
effects of pollution and global warming there is a
need for generating power from renewable sources. 3. OBJECTIVE
The reason for generating power using gravity is that
it is available all over the Earth, rich and reliable too

[5], is being exploited to drive mechanical and Table 1

 motion is in single direction, power generated is
less. So, new model is designed to generate
electrical power based on bi-directional swing
motion with Chain sprocket, freewheel, spur gear
arrangement and dynamo. Two end side of the
main shaft as driver sprocket which is fixed and
below it drives a freewheel which is connected
by chain drive and there using another roller
bearing and small shaft arrangement which is
coupled with the spur gear arrangement which
drives the dynamo. The swing is designed using
solid bars instead of chain in order to allow
maximum torque to the bearings which will result
in effective power generation. Here as we are
using freewheel on dual side of swing frame
power generated is effective and more.
When swing motion occurs (forward and
backward), driver sprocket with the chain drive
arrangement rotates the driven sprocket which
tends to drive the spur gear and the spur gear
arrangement in turn runs the dynamo. And the
power generation is indicated with help of LED's,
the generated power can be stored in the battery.
For the preliminary design, sketch up software
was used to build the swing and the gear
mechanism, which would allow it to convert the
oscillating motion into electrical power. Even
though, the manufacturing of the swing is varying
from the original design, the main structure was
retained from this early concept. The main
structure consists of a frame, the bars that hold the
swing seat and the position of the gears. The main
variation from this design is that the generator is
attached to the frame and a separate mounting
structure for the motor to attach to the actual
frame in order to reduce the price and make it less
bulky. A more detailed consideration of this
project can be accomplished by analyzing a
traditional swing structure and how this would
affect the generation of power.

6. COMPONENTS REQUIRED
The main components used to fabricate the
model are:
 Main frame
 Shaft
 Sprocket
 Free wheel
 Chain drive
 Bearing
 Dynamo
 Spur gear
 Light emitting diode / Battery
6.1 SUPPORTING FRAME:
It is a metallic material frame of 5
feet height and 4 feet length to support the
seating arrangement which acts as pendulum
while in operation. It is well fixed with nut and
bolts to the base which is made up of wooden or
metallic board. At the centre of the supporting
frame, seating arrangement is attached. The
bearings are provided on both the side for the
smooth motion.
Material: Mild steel square tube
Fig 3
6.2 SHAFT:
A shaft is a rotating machine element,
usually circular in cross section, which is used
to transmit power from one part to another, or
from a machine which produces power to a
machine which absorbs power .The various
members such as pulleys and gears are mounted
on it.
Dimensions: 25x1300 mm
Material : Mild steel rod

Fig 4

Fig 2
6.3 SPROCKET:
A sprocket or sprocket-wheel is
a profiled wheel with teeth, or cogs, that mesh
with a chain, track or other perforated or
indented material. The name 'sprocket' applies
generally to any wheel upon which radial
projections engage a chain passing over it. It is
distinguished from a gear in that sprockets are
never meshed together directly, and differs from
a pulley in that sprockets have teeth and pulleys
are smooth.
Teeth’s: 44teeth
Material: Bright chrome plated
Make: Sondh manufactures
Fig 5
6.4 FREEWHEEL:
In mechanical or automotive engineering,
a freewheel or overrunning clutch is a device in
a transmission that disengages
the driveshaft from the driven shaft when the
driven shaft rotates faster than the driveshaft.
An overdrive is sometimes mistakenly called a
freewheel, but is otherwise unrelated.
The condition of a driven shaft spinning
faster than its driveshaft exists in
most bicycles when the rider holds his or her feet
still, no longer pushing the pedals. In a fixed-
gear bicycle, without a freewheel, the rear wheel
would drive the pedals around.
Teeth: 16 teeth
Material: Iron
OD: 30mm
Fig 6
6.5 CHAIN DRIVE:
Chain drive is a way of transmitting
mechanical power from one place to another. It
is often used to convey power to the wheels of a
vehicle, particularly bicycles and motorcycles.
The power is conveyed by a roller chain, known
as the drive chain or transmission chain, passing
over a sprocket gear, with the teeth of the gear
meshing with the holes in the links of the chain.
By varying the diameter of the input and output
gears with respect to each other, the gear ratio
can be altered. There is even very low friction,
as long as the chain is sufficiently lubricated.
Continuous, clean, lubrication of roller chains is
of primary importance for efficient operation as
well as correct tensioning. Here chain drive is
used for transmitting the motion from sprocket
to free wheel. Here the motion from shaft axis
of swing frame is transmitted to the low rpm
generator coupled to the spur gear via free
Wheel arrangement.
6.6 BEARINGS:
A bearing is a device to permit
constrained relative motion between two parts,
typically rotation or linear movement.
Bearings may be classified broadly according
to the motions they allow and according to
their principle of operation. Low friction
bearings are often important for efficiency, to
reduce wear and to facilitate high speeds.
Essentially, a bearing can reduce friction by
virtue of its shape, by its material, or by
introducing and containing a fluid between
surfaces. By shape, gains advantage usually by
using spheres or rollers. Here we have selected
ball bearing to reduce friction and for free
movement of the swing.
Specification of Ball Bearing:
Bearing Type: Plummer Block Ball Bearing
Ball Material: Chrome Steel
Diameter: 25.4 mm
Length: 0.07m

6.7 DYNAMO:
Dynamo is an electricity generator. This
dynamo produces direct current with the help of
a commutator. It was the first generator, capable
of power in industries. The dynamo uses rotating
coils of wire and magnetic fields to convert
mechanical rotation into a pulsing direct electric
current. A dynamo machine consists of a
stationary structure, called the stator, which
provides a constant magnetic field, and a set of
rotating windings called the armature which turn
within that field. The commutator was needed to
produce direct current. When a loop of wire
rotates in a magnetic field, the potential induced
in it reverses with each half turn, generating an
alternating current. Unlike the Faraday disc,
many turns of wire connected in series can be
used in the moving windings of a dynamo. This
allows the terminal voltage of the machine to be
higher than a disc can produce, so that electrical
energy can be delivered at a convenient voltage.

6.8 SPUR GEAR:
Spur gears are the simplest and
most common type of gear. Their general form
is a cylinder or disk. The teeth project radially,
and with these straight-cut gears, the leading
edges of the teeth are aligned parallel to the
axis of rotation. These gears can only mesh
correctly if they are fitted to parallel axles. The
torque ratio can be determined by considering
the force that a tooth of one gear exerts on a
tooth of the other gear. Consider two teeth in
contact at a point on the line joining the shaft
axes of the two gears. The force will have both
a radial and a circumferential component.
Depending on their construction and
arrangement, geared devices can transmit
forces at different speeds, torques, or in a
different direction, from the power source.
Gears are a very useful simple machine. The
most common situation is for a gear to mesh
with another gear, but a gear can mesh with
any device having compatible teeth, such as
linear moving racks.

6.9 LED/ BATTERY:
A light-emitting diode (LED) is
a semiconductor device that emits visible light
when an electric current passes through it. The
light is not particularly bright, but in most
LEDs it is monochromatic, occurring at a
single wavelength. The output from an LED
can range from red (at a wavelength of
approximately 700 nanometers) to blue-violet
(about 400 nanometers).
We have used LED to check for output battery

7. WORKING PRINCIPLE
During the forward stroke & backward
stroke of swing some torque is induced in shaft.
The shaft is mounted between two bearings. At
both end of the shaft a large sprocket is attached
rigidly, this sprocket pivots over shaft axis
when the shaft is displaced. The larger sprocket
is attached to a smaller sprocket (freewheel)
using chain. The shaft in which smaller sprocket
is mounted in other shaft which is placed in
another ball bearing which in turn connected
with the spur gear arrangement. With this
arrangement power is generated in the dynamo
and can be stored in the battery. The
construction of the swing model is shown in the
below Fig 11.
 8.2 Free wheel assembly

This free wheel is welded on the outer

ring to avoid the free moment of the free
wheel and it is converted into a smaller
sprocket. The free wheel is used for
transmitting the rotary motion to the shaft on
which a spur gear is mounted which in turn
is connected
ected to a dynamo.

in the shaft by the holding bars of swing set.
This
his torque displaces the larger sprocket
which is pivoted over axis of shaft causing
the angular displacement. This angular
movement is converted to rotational motion
