How DC generator works.


According to Woodford (2021), when a length of wire was put between the magnet's poles and connect it
to an ammeter (a device that measures current). A short current will flow through the wire (register on
the meter) if you now quickly move the wire across the magnet's invisible magnetic field. This is the
fundamental physics that underpins the electrical generator, first shown by British scientist Michael
Faraday in 1831. A current that runs the other way is produced if the wire is moved in the other direction.
If you're curious, you may use the right-hand rule, also known as the generator rule—which is the inverse
of the left-hand rule used to determine how motors operate—to determine the direction in which the
current flows.
The important thing to notice is that you generate a current only when you move the wire through the
magnetic field (or when you move a magnet past a wire, which amounts to the same thing). It's not
enough just to place a wire near a magnet: to generate electricity, either the wire has to move past the
magnet or vice-versa. Suppose you want to generate lots of electricity. Lifting a wire up and down all day
isn't going to be much fun—so you need to devise some way of moving a wire past a magnet by mounting
one or the other of them on a wheel. Then, when you turn the wheel, the wire and magnet will move with
respect to one another and an electric current will be produced.

What is pedaling energy?
The energy of pedaling is one of the cleanest and sustainable energy alternatives, capable of supplying
electrical power to a wide range of low power devices. This energy alternative refers to the kinetic energy
generated by the human in a pedaling mechanism.
According to Sachez et al, A variety of low power electronic gadgets may be powered by pedaling energy, a
clean and sustainable energy source. Additionally, combining pedal power with other renewable energy
sources has shown to be a sustainable energy option for developing areas. The utilization of this energy is
still rather restricted, though. The main contribution of this paper is to review static pedaling technologies
that use rotary transducers to transform pedaling energy into electrical energy, to identify recent
developments and design trends, to compare and categorize the components that integrate the primary
stages of energy transmission and transformation, and to pinpoint opportunities to enhance their
functionality, efficiency, or other desirable characteristics. The evaluation provides details on human
power delivery capabilities in pedaling mechanisms, including cadence-power ratios, cadence-torque,
maximum power, and critical power. The review's output includes data on the studied systems' geometric
structure, transducer type, power converter, transmission ratio, and power output, among other things.
Additionally, a design sequence is suggested to optimize the pedaling energy harvesters of static
mechanisms since it is thought to be appropriate. The review's findings, trends, and difficulties are finally
examined.

Local Study
In today's modern world, it is widely recognized that mobile phones have become indispensable tools in
our daily lives. However, their excessive usage often leads to people losing track of time and neglecting
important tasks, not to mention the detrimental effect it has on physical activity. Fortunately, there is an
innovative solution that can address these concerns while promoting sustainability and a healthier
lifestyle.

According to Mundo (2019), By utilizing a small dynamo generator as the main component and integrating
it with a PCB board, it is possible to create a practical device that can transform the mechanical energy
generated while riding a bicycle into electrical energy to directly charge a mobile phone. Unlike
conventional methods that involve using batteries to store energy, this approach simplifies the design and
eliminates the need for complex circuitry, making it more user-friendly and efficient.

One of the significant advantages of this project is its practicality. Instead of relying on external power
sources or searching for electrical outlets, cyclists can now rely on their own physical exertion to power
their devices. This not only enhances convenience but also promotes self-sufficiency, as riders can charge
their phones on the go without being tethered to traditional charging methods.

Considering the cost aspect, it is true that dynamo generators and other components may have seen price
increases over time. However, it is important to view this endeavor as an investment rather than an
expense. The potential savings in electricity costs over time can offset the initial investment, making this a
financially viable and sustainable solution. Moreover, as more individuals embrace this technology and opt
for cycling, the demand for such components may increase, leading to economies of scale and potentially
reducing the overall cost.

Beyond the individual benefits, this project also has broader implications for the environment. By
encouraging the use of bicycles as a means of transportation, it can contribute to reducing carbon
emissions and promoting a greener lifestyle. The excess energy generated during cycling, which would
otherwise go to waste, is harnessed and utilized effectively, making this a truly sustainable initiative.

In conclusion, this project aims to harness the power of a small dynamo generator to create a device that
charges mobile phones while promoting physical activity and environmental consciousness. By utilizing the
energy generated during bicycle rides, individuals can stay connected without sacrificing their well-being
or contributing to excessive energy consumption. With careful planning, consideration of costs, and a
focus on sustainability, this innovative solution has the potential to make a positive impact on individuals,
communities, and the planet as a whole.

According Maritel, In very small electric motors which run on dc (direct current) a permanent magnet
made of iron - or of some other alloy of elements capable of being magnetized - is used to create the two
poles of the stator. The rotor is built-up using windings made of insulated copper wire wound onto poles
made of layers of well-insulated thin cast iron sheets which are called "laminations". The thin sheets must
be well insulated from one another to minimize power wastage caused by internal eddy currents that are
induced as the rotor's poles continually break testator’s magnetic field. In larger motors, which may run on
either dc or ac(alternating current), the stator's magnetic field is created by field windings made of
insulated copper wire wound around pole pieces which are not permanently magnetized.

[1] Eida and Irsheid (2020) conducted research that aimed to build and design a device called
"CharGO". This device serves as an electricity generator by using the kinetic energy or mechanical energy
produced by the rotation of the bicycle wheel.While the bicycle runs, the device's battery charges the
bicycle's battery. The purpose of this device is to save charging time and make a less polluting mode of
transportation. The concept of this study is the self-sufficiency of electric bicycles through the installation
of this removable device.
This study derives its design from previous IEEE/ASME Mechatronics documents. It also stated the
design of an intelligent system to take advantage of a bicycle's movement to recharge the battery with
high efficiency, which usually depends on the speed of the bicycle, road situation, and user selection. It is
considered an intelligent system that contains a generator, sensors, and a controller to generate electricity
when the bike is accelerating on an inclined slope. In addition, the researchers proposed the attachment
of solar cells to take advantage of the solar energy given the climate in their country.
In conclusion, the researchers found out in their study that the charging system in CharGO depends on
a linear relationship between the speed and the output. Also, it was concluded that as the field current or
ampere increases, the equivalent hours decrease. It can also be used as an external power source for
powering and charging small devices like light bulbs, mobile phones, and laptops.
[2] In a study conducted by Kumar and Kulkarni (2019), the energy generated by pedaling a bicycle can
be converted from mechanical to electrical energy using either a dynamo or alternator. It is stated that
humans can produce 150 W of power when riding a bicycle, however, it was just wasted without any use.
In this regard, most Indian villages used bicycles as their main mode of transportation, and many of those
villages are un-electrified. This study aimed to address the problem of un-electrified villages and find
alternative renewable energy by harnessing electricity from pedaling a bicycle.
The design of the device consists of a generator,small solar panels, a voltage regulator, and a battery,
which serves as the storage of the energy output. It follows the general design procedure of the single bike
electricity generator. However, the researchers also attached solar cells to the design to still harness
energy while the bicycle is stationary. A PMDC motor was used to move the shaft by pedaling which
produces electricity. They also use inverters so that both AC and DC equipment can be used. In addition,
they also include a voltage regulator circuit for limiting the fluctuating current of the motor.
The finding shows that charging current capacity is purely dependent on battery capacity. This study
proves that harnessing mechanical energy from a bicycle wheel and converting it to electrical energy is
one of the alternative sources. It can power small devices such as mobile phones, laptops, and other low-
powered devices. It can also serve as a lighting power source, which can be used by students in un-
electrified villages for studying at night.
[3] (Guia et al., 2020) conducted a study about harnessing energy using stationary bicycles by
converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Aside from strengthening one's cardiovascular
endurance, stationary cycling can become an alternative source of electricity, especially in rural areas.
Pedaling can produce a certain amount of energy, which can be stored or consumed. This study aims to
design and develop an alternative source of energy. Also, it aims to prove that manual mechanical input
can produce stable power which can be used to power small devices.
Unlike other foreign studies, the design of this device is stationary. The very foundation of this device
is the stationary bicycle which is usually a special-purpose exercise machine. Placing a normal bicycle on
rollers or a trainer is another alternative stated in this paper to create a stationary setup. A brushless DC
motor was used to provide smoother rotation and less maintenance since there are no contact points
between the moving parts. Other components, such as Bridge Rectifier and Charger controller, were used
as regulators. A Lead acid battery also serves as output storage. The overall design of this study is similar
to other research except for being stationary.
The researchers concluded that the rating of Brushless motor in KV shows how many turns are
required to produce 1 volt. The ratio of the producing voltage, the numerical number of ratings of the
motor in KV to the number of turns is 1:1. They also recommended producing more rotation in the shaft
for higher output and lower loss. It was also mentioned that future researchers should focus on the design
and location of components for the cyclist to be comfortable and increase its visual presentation. This
recommendation is the purpose and focus of the current study.
[4] Albano et al. (2018) conducted an experimental study that aimed to build an Improvised bicycle
generator. Due to frequent power interruptions, the researchers aim to design an improvised electric
generator that is both cost efficient and environmentally friendly. Like other studies, it was stated that
rural areas have limited to no access to electricity. In order to address this problem, the researcher came
up with the idea of designing an improvised generator that can be helpful for those who have no access to
electricity and when there are crises and power outages. This study also aims to harness the mechanical
energy from pedaling a bicycle to convert it into electrical energy.
The design of the prototype was almost the same as the standard design related to this study. There is
a dynamo, which serves as the converter of mechanical to electrical energy, and a standard rechargeable
battery for energy storage. They also used power inverters, voltage regulators, and switches for the
regulation of electricity. The goal of the design is to supply power to the light bulb using the improvised
generator. It is also stated that some of the components of the design can be acquired through used
appliances and equipment, such as power inverters and voltage regulators.
The researchers reached a conclusion about their study based on the observation of three
performances of the BI-GEN which are charging time, working time, and durability. They observed that
charging time is dependent on working time, and the RPM( rotation per minute) does not affect the
duration of working time. Furthermore, the weight limit test was executed for durability, and they found
out that BI-GEN can carry up to 63kg. On the other hand, the researchers recommend that the efficiency
of the generator should be tested with the influence of the speed of the wheel's rotation.
[5] Energy plays an important role in our daily lives. All things around us possess energy, from the
simplest to the most complex forms of energy. (Energy 101, 2022) defines energy as the ability to do work.
It has two general types for doing work: potential, or stored energy, and kinetic, or working energy.
Different forms of energy can be converted from one form to another. One of these forms of energy is
mechanical energy, which plays a significant role in this study.
Mechanical energy, as defined in Energy 101 (2022), is energy stored in objects by tension. It consists
of both kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy consists of energy due to translational motion of the
center of body mass and rotation of the body around the center of body mass, while potential energy
involves the storage of energy. Compressing springs and stretching rubber bands are examples of stored
potential energy, while rotational motion is an example of kinetic energy. This type of energy can also be
transformed into different types of energy.
Mechanical energy plays an important role in our daily lives. It is considered a renewable source of
energy that can be converted into electrical energy, which powers our gadgets and appliances.It was also
used to generate other types of energy, such as wind, geothermal, and hydroelectric, through the rotation
of turbines. This form of energy is not usually mentioned, but in reality, it plays a significant role in our
civilization. By exploring and conducting more research on its utilization, it may become one of the best
alternative sources of renewable energy.

Innovative Electrical Energy Generation From Bicycle Waste Rotational Energy. Ashutosh Karan et al.
(2018), the authors assert the importance of energy conservation, consumption efficiency, and the need
for new methods of transport. The paper presents a concept revolving around harnessing rotational
energy from bicycles to generate electrical energy. This innovative approach addresses the energy crisis
and promotes sustainability.

Energy Conversion and Resource Utilization


According to the principles of energy conversion, energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be
converted from one form to another. Karan et al. highlight that a cyclist can produce approximately 150W
of power while riding a bicycle, which can be used to charge a lead-acid battery through a DC motor or
generator. By tapping into this waste rotational energy, resources can be conserved and energy can be
generated effectively.

Advantages of Electric Bicycles


Electric bicycles offer several advantages over traditional gasoline or diesel-powered vehicles. They are
more efficient and cost-effective, making them suitable for people of all ages and shorter distances. By
eliminating the use of fossil fuels, electric bicycles save significant amounts of foreign currency. Moreover,
their pollution-free, environmentally friendly, and quiet operation promotes sustainable transportation
solutions.

Integration of Solar Energy


To enhance energy generation and reduce reliance on external power sources, Karan et al. propose
integrating solar panels into the electric bicycle system. Solar panels can be added to capture and utilize
solar energy, further boosting the overall energy production. This combination of electric and solar energy
makes the electric bicycle an even more efficient and sustainable mode of transportation.

Environmental Impact and Operating Cost


The implementation of on-board electric bicycle systems contributes to mitigating environmental
contamination associated with conventional transportation. Furthermore, the operating cost per kilometer
is considerably low, and the incorporation of solar panels can further reduce expenses. With fewer
components and simplified assembly, electric bicycles require less maintenance, ensuring long-term
usability and cost-effectiveness.
The research conducted by Karan et al. presents an innovative solution for generating electrical energy
from bicycle waste rotational energy. By embracing electric bicycles powered by human and solar
2/7
energy, we can address the energy crisis, conserve resources, and promote sustainability. The transition to
such systems offers a viable alternative to traditional transportation methods, contributing to a greener
and more efficient future.

The Eco-Pedaler, Smith and Johnson (2019) explores the design and implementation of a bicycle-powered
charging station at Northern Arizona University (NAU). The authors describe the project called "Eco-
Pedaler," which aimed to generate electricity using human power and educate users about power, energy,
and electricity consumption. The charging station provided an alternative source of power for charging
electronic devices such as iPods and cell phones by harnessing the rotational energy generated through
pedaling the bicycle. The system not only allowed users to charge their devices but also provided
educational information on traditional energy sources and the importance of renewable energy
technologies. Users could monitor the amount of power they were producing and compare it with their
energy usage. The Eco-Pedaler was initially installed on the second floor of the Engineering Building on the
NAU campus. The study highlights the ongoing efforts of two teams of senior mechanical and electrical
engineering students at NAU, who are currently working on designing an improved and more versatile
iteration of the bicycle-powered charging station, incorporating a mobile design, interactive display, and
the ability to power a wider range of appliances.
The Eco-Pedaler project was initiated in spring 2019 by students working with Wind for Schools at NAU.
With funding from NAU's Green Fund, the team embarked on designing and building a bicycle-powered
charging station. The primary objective was to generate electricity using human power and utilize it to
accomplish useful tasks, specifically charging electronic devices like iPods and cell phones. The system
functioned by converting the rotational energy produced when someone pedals the bicycle into electrical
energy. This energy was then used to charge devices connected to the appropriate chargers provided at
the station.
One notable aspect of the Eco-Pedaler was its educational component. The accompanying system included
informative materials that discussed the implications of traditional energy sources and emphasized the
importance of adopting new, renewable energy technologies. Users had the opportunity to learn about
power, energy, and electricity use through interactive displays and educational resources available at the
charging station. Additionally, the Eco-Pedaler provided users with a visual representation of the power
they were producing and allowed them to compare it with their energy usage, fostering a better
understanding of the energy required to power electronic devices and the potential of human-generated
electricity.

The initial installation of the Eco-Pedaler took place on the second floor of the Engineering Building on the
NAU campus. However, the study conducted by Smith and Johnson (2012) revealed that ongoing
improvements and advancements were necessary to enhance the usability and versatility of the charging
station. As a result, two teams of senior mechanical and electrical engineering students at NAU were
currently working on designing a second iteration of the Eco-Pedaler. The new version aimed to be more
mobile, incorporate a more interactive display with additional information, and provide AC power to
expand the range of appliances that could be powered by the system.

Local study

Rapsing (2019) explores the innovative approach of using pedal power to generate electricity and
illuminate a bulb. The findings of the study demonstrated that the pedal-powered system successfully
generated enough electricity to light a bulb. The researchers observed that the power output was directly
proportional to the pedaling speed and duration. Higher speeds and longer pedaling durations resulted in
increased electrical energy production. Furthermore, the battery storage capacity proved sufficient to
store the generated electricity, allowing for continuous illumination even when pedaling ceased. In today's
world, where access to reliable and sustainable energy sources is crucial, this study aims to investigate the
feasibility of a pedal-powered system as an alternative energy solution. By harnessing human energy
through pedaling, the researchers seek to demonstrate the potential for self-sufficiency and off-grid power
generation.

In this study, the researchers designed and developed a pedal-powered system that converts mechanical
energy from pedaling into electrical energy to light a bulb. The setup consists of a modified bicycle with a
dynamo connected to the rear wheel. As the user pedals, the dynamo rotates, generating electricity that is
stored in a battery. This stored energy is then utilized to power a bulb, providing illumination.

Through experimentation and testing, the researchers evaluated the performance and efficiency of the
pedal-powered system. They measured the power output generated by the dynamo during various
pedaling speeds and durations. Additionally, the study assessed the reliability and sustainability of the
system by examining the battery's capacity to store and discharge the generated electricity efficiently.
The study highlights the potential of pedal power as a viable and sustainable alternative for electricity
generation, particularly in areas with limited access to conventional power sources. The findings suggest
that utilizing human energy through pedaling can provide a practical solution for off-grid lighting
applications. Furthermore, this approach promotes energy self-sufficiency, reduces dependence on fossil
fuels, and contributes to a greener and more environmentally friendly future.

Overall, the "Improvised Pedal Type to Light the Bulb" study Rapsing (2019) underscores the importance
of exploring innovative methods to harness renewable energy. By tapping into the human potential and
utilizing pedal power, this research offers a promising avenue for sustainable energy generation and paves
the way for further developments in the field of alternative energy solutions.

Jagannati et al. (2023), explore a sustainable solution to reduce fossil fuel consumption and address the
challenges of pollution and global warming in the transport industry. The findings suggest that the use of a
dynamo is a viable method for self-charging an electric bicycle, providing an additional source of power
while the bike is in motion. This approach has the potential to increase the range and sustainability of
electric bicycles, contributing to a reduction in fossil fuel consumption and environmental impact. The
researchers focused on enhancing battery life while the electric bicycle is in motion by utilizing a dynamo
to recycle power for simultaneous production and consumption. Through their experimental setup, the
researchers successfully demonstrated the feasibility of a self-chargeable electric bicycle using a dynamo.
The dynamo, coupled to the rear wheel of the bicycle, generated a consistent electrical output during
testing. On average, it produced 12 volts and 2 amps of electricity while the bike was in motion. The
amount of electricity generated was found to be proportional to the speed of the bike, with higher speeds
resulting in greater electrical output.
During a 30-minute ride, the dynamo was able to generate enough electricity to charge the battery by
10%. Importantly, the use of the dynamo did not affect the performance of the bike or cause noticeable
drag, allowing the bike to maintain its speed and maneuverability. The results of the study indicated that
the generated electricity by the dynamo was sufficient to supplement the battery and extend the range of
the electric bicycle. However, it should be noted that the amount of electricity generated was relatively
small and might not be adequate for longer rides or powering larger devices. Although the study primarily
focused on the self-charging aspect using a dynamo, it is important to acknowledge that there are other
factors involved in the overall design and efficiency of electric bicycles, such as battery capacity, controller
systems, and energy management. Further research could explore the integration of more efficient
dynamos or the combination of multiple dynamos to increase electrical output and optimize the self-
charging mechanism.
In conclusion, the study successfully demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of a self-chargeable
electric bicycle using a dynamo. The findings contribute to the development of sustainable modes of
transportation and provide a potential solution for extending the range of electric bicycles while reducing
reliance on fossil fuels. This study aims to contribute to the advancement of self-chargeable electric
bicycles using dynamos. The results will provide valuable insights into the feasibility and performance of
this sustainable transportation solution. The findings will inform future developments in enhancing the
efficiency of dynamos, optimizing charging mechanisms, and expanding the applicability of self-chargeable
electric bicycles. Ultimately, the goal is to promote the adoption of environmentally friendly transportation
options and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.

Design of a Free Energy Generator using Gravity Wheel & Dynamo
Abstract:

The analysis and design of a free energy generator utilizing a dynamo and gravity wheel/flywheel
configuration are presented in this work. This essay suggests a way of generating energy that is referred to
as free since, under some circumstances, we have to pay nothing. The wasted energy is converted into
free energy by the friction in the dynamo. Other electrical equipment will be run using this energy. It
consists of a single-phase motor that powers the pulley drive and belt's mechanical assembly.
Consequently, the wheel's mounting shaft rotates. This design's exceptional mechanism allows for the
acquisition of more potent electrical power. An assist comes from a flywheel.(IEEE 2021)

Utilization of Gym Stationary Bicycle in Power Generation
The transfer of energy from a human source using a pedal is known as pedal power. a crank and foot
pedal mechanism. Most frequently, this technique is employed for bicycle propulsion and has been a
mode of transportation for more than a century. Pedal power-generating systems combine many
technologies and human labor and t bicycle as being most crucial. Pedal power generation is quite basic
and straightforward to do such that even a child or non-technical person can attempt to utilize it. Priority
one of the goals of this work is to stop or minimize energy losses caused by resistance technologies.
Simply swapping out the parts (such as screws, belts, magnets, etc.) found on exercise bicycles using a
gear set to convert the mechanical energy electrical energy generator. The testing of the generator was
done at various speeds that corresponded to the output power, which reveals the generator's true
behavior. Generally, the traditional generator curve and the experimental data curve are not identical
because of how the generator's efficiency is impacted by speed variations. (ICESA 2021)

Pedal Power Generation: An Implementation of Stationary Bike Generator

Even though not of all the nation is electrified, power generation companies still have trouble producing
enough electricity to fill the system. Rotational brownouts are the outcome, which is particularly common
in the summer. As we all know, a steady source of power is necessary for the majority of daily tasks today.
When automated factories are impacted by rotating brownouts, they could lose millions of pesos. This has
an impact on the economy and causes further issues. The advocates want to create a working prototype
that transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy. However, while riding a stationary bike for cardio
exercises, it is employed to generate electricity utilizing human exertion. This project demonstrates the
planning and creation of an alternative electricity source for supplying a single rural dwelling. In addition
to engaging in cardiac exercises, the usage of a stationary bike allows the user to be productive in a way
that the calories burnt while using the pedals can produce a specific amount of voltage, which is a
component of power. (PEJ 2020)

and can be pedaled by someone who is relatively fit while also lowering our monthly electricity costs.
Given their creativity, the researchers considered making a gadget that produces usable amounts of
electricity but is simple to operate and can be considered a trinket rather than playing a significant part in
a household's energy supply. However, some pedal generators are employed frequently for important
tasks. The ability to balance expectations with practical production is essential for the viability of pedal
power.
In keeping with the values of the group, we have developed a user-controlled energy generation system
that is free of coal and, in contrast to conventional renewables, is dependable and consistent. During the
semester. We created and built a distinctive electric generation system combining form and function into a
practical, affordable solution. We acquire an output power of about 60 watts from a stationary bicycle
while simultaneously powering a 12-volt battery.
A generator and pedals are located on either side of the Human Pedal Power Generator, which is a flood-
mounted stand. Just take a seat and begin pedaling. Based on the study's findings, conclusions were
drawn that human-powered goods create interactive and instructive displays that allow people to feel the
physical energy needed to generate electricity. An efficient display that allows the generator load to be
altered between a small fluorescent light bulb, which is simple to light up by pedaling, and a light bulb that
consumes more energy and requires more work to light. Making and using a human pedal-powered
generator is thus advised.
The goals and expectations are very obvious for a research project geared toward creating a working
product. Aside from time, the main limitations of this project are the price (little as possible), and the
design requirements as described below. A second side goal, however, is more professionally oriented
than technically focused: Teamwork Collaboration Working well in a team where each member has distinct
expertise to contribute was another objective as it matches the working environment we anticipate
encountering throughout our careers.
