 ABSTRACT

Bicycle is the main mode of transportation for many Indian villagers. Most of these villages

are un-electrified. Power generated by pedaling can be converted from mechanical to

electrical energy by using either dynamo or alternator. Small powered lighting devices can be

charged using dynamo and can be used in the night by students for study purposes. This

principle can be extended to power mobiles, iPods, laptops etc. Power can be also generated

from the rotation of the wheels of alternator vehicles like bikes and cars, where there is a

possibility of generating more power. The generated power can be either used in the same

vehicle or can be stored in a battery for powering some other devices. Riding bicycle helps in

maintaining a good physic and along with it power can be also generated. This paper

presents methods in generating electricity by pedaling a bicycle. It also explains in detail the

method using bottle dynamo to generate power. A detailed analysis of using pedal power is

also presented.
