INTRODUCTION
 The world’s energy consumption is at an all time high with demand
continuously increasing, and to fulfil this we should find a way to conserve
energy.

 A treadmill is a device generally used for walking or running while staying in

the same place. The human effort during exercise goes waste in conventional
manual treadmill, hence this human effort can be utilized in power generation.

 A generator can be coupled with a roller with the help of V-belt to generate
electricity using human effort.

 The electricity generated during exercise may be used for charging a battery or
to do other work.
 The design of this set-up is briefly illustrated in this paper.

PROBLEM DEFINITION
 The energy expended in a typical workout at the gym is usually wasted in the
mechanics of the equipment.

 
 Although recent designs of energy harvesting exercise equipment have been
introduced into the market¸ These systems need to be improved and designed for
maximum power output, Cost efficiency and marketability.

 
 Global warming , power shortage are one of the major drawbacks which can
overcome using this model.

OBJECTIVES
 To design a cost effective manual treadmill which produces power
that can be used for various purposes.

 To provide an uniform output using filter circuit [3].

 To provide a treadmill with Electricity Generator to reduce the

pollution to some extent by saving energy.
 
 To add an adjustable inclined feature to increase the intensity of the
work out.

POSSIBLE OUTCOMES

 This manual tread mill with electricity generator is simple in design and is
sustainable .

 This treadmill with electricity generator is use full for such areas where electricity
is not available.

 Electrical energy can be saved by using this manual treadmill.

 Green house gases can be reduced upto some extent by this manual treadmill.

 By using this treadmill one can maintain their physical fitness.

 The resulting electrical energy can be stored in a battery and used for domestic
purposes.
