Conceptual Literature
A bicycle lighting system comprising a dynamo generator, integrated rechargeable batteries and an
integrated electronic circuitry, the bicycle being an exemplary embodiment of pedal-driven vehicles
provided with standard front and rear lamps. Hitherto known systems operate with conventional dynamos
having an efficiency far too low to provide power to energize lamps and simultaneously charge batteries at
speeds below 15 kmph. The inventive generator is constructed such that a rotating magnetic-circuit
arrangement with a stationary air-core coil and specially defined pole shoes achieve 90% efficiency
(Schwaller, 1999).
At 5 to 7 kmph, at least 4 W energy is available for energizing lamps and rapidly charging
batteries. From standstill to approximately 5 kmph, the batteries energize the lamps. The electronic
circuitry comprises a converter having a special voltage set-up and voltage set-down function such that for
a determinate output voltage, the input voltage can be lesser than, equal to or greater than the determinate
output voltage. Above 5 kmph, energy apportioning for energizing lamps and simultaneously charging
A generator for a bicycle includes a rotor abutting a wheel of the bicycle. A coil is
mounted in the rotor and electrically connected to two bearings that are mounted on the
opposite sides of the rotor by two inner wires. A stator has a shaft extending through the
two bearings and a permanent magnet sleeved onto the shaft and corresponding to the
coil. Two electrical ring connectors are respectively mounted on opposite ends of the
shaft and electrically connected to the bearings. A light is mounted on the bicycle and
electrically connected to the electrical ring connectors. The coil will rotate with the rotor
relative to the stator when the bicycle is in motion and generate electricity that is
transmitted to the light, and the light improves the enjoyment and safety of riding the
lower end of the steering tube and includes first and second arms that extend laterally in
opposite directions from the center portion. First and second suspension systems are

lights that are configured such that the respective light beams overlap to provide a single
A bicycle light in which a single housing contains a light source emitting light in
a first direction, a battery providing energy to the light source, and, a lense mechanism
adapted to direct light from said light source in a second direction being substantially
perpendicular to said first direction. In one embodiment of the invention, the lense uses
the single light source to generate two light beams beings substantially parallel to each
other. A snap clip is used to secure the housing to a spoke of a wheel of the bicycle such
that said first direction is substantially parallel to said spoke, and the re-directed light
from the light source is substantially parallel to the ground (Robert, 2005).
mounted to a bicycle, a computer housed within the computer housing, and an integrated
assembly has a lamp housing mountable to a portion of the bicycle. An input portion is

bicycle system for initial excitation as opposed to electric power. The system is supported
with a flywheel which will store kinetic energy to keep the system working before the
motor is connected to the generator. The system generated a power of 96w and stayed
self-inducting at maximum cyclist speed of 58rpm for a period of 35 seconds. The kinetic

reach remote places. Several technologies offer ways to harness energy for
supplementing the need of energy in some auxiliary devices of bicycles such as lights and
horns, however several points where force is applied, having the potential of generating
energy, is left untapped. The researchers proposed the characterization and fabrication of
an energy harvesting device using a linear electromagnetic generator attached inside the
suspension system of a mountain bicycle. The generators were placed on the shock
absorber supporting the frame from the rear end, and another one attached on the fork of
the steering sector of the bicycle. Experimentation was conducted within 10 kilometers of
travel through a smooth and a rough pavement, maintained with a 20kph speed, 0.091Wh

flux motors, coreless disc type motors and PM assisted synchronous reluctance motors.
There is a wide interest in liquid cooled traction motors and inverters as those apparatus

density. Frequently, the traction motor for road vehicles is integrated with a solid state
converter. Light traction with linear motors has not been considered. Although induction
motors are the most popular motors, PM brushless motors are more efficient, more

With urban cities grappling with the problem of energy Shortages and many
regions in developing countries still remaining unlit and with zero access to electricity,
Renewable Energy Sources are the need of the hour. Pedal Power energy is one of the
practical solutions to the problem, since bicycles are the main source of transport,
especially in rural areas and even in an urban setting, exercise bikes in gyms can be used
effectively to generate energy. This paper focuses on using pedal powered energy to
power lighting devices, specifically targeting those rural areas that remain unlit and in the
dark, even a decade into the 21 st century. In this paper, a simple system is proposed,
where batteries can be charged using power generated by pedaling a bicycle, and used to
power lighting. The pedal power system has several advantages over typical power
generation infrastructure. The technology is less expensive and does not require a fuel
supply chain connecting users to suppliers and long-term variable costs. It reduces the
need for wood fuel, further limiting the need to cut down trees and is environment
friendly. The mechanism is easy to operate and does not demand specialized tools or
equipment for servicing. Pedal Power is a non conventional source of energy that can be
used effectively to meet energy demands. It will help counter global problems that stem
from the rural population’s lack of access to energy and education.( Rajesh Kannan

extent that risk of theft already limits the adoption of improved designs. Survey data from
the United States suggests that concerns relating to safety and distance are far greater
barriers to cycling and must be addressed before concerns over equipment will come into
play. But even if this is true, better equipment could improve the experience of bicyclists
in many ways, especially in places such as the United States where the typical bicycle
does a poor job of meeting the needs of everyday trips. Equipment, defined here to
include bicycles and their components, accessories that attach to bicycles, and those that
are worn by cyclists, can contribute to greater safety, convenience, comfort, and
Our goal for this project is to design and implement a bicycle power generator for
the DC House Project. The DC House Project is an initiative to bring safe and reliable
power to the billions of people around the world without electricity. This goal will be
accomplished by designing a safe and sturdy human powered stationary bicycle that
produces DC energy. The DC power generated can be stored via batteries and used by the
local population to use for lights and other utilities that many take for granted on a daily
basis. Bicycle Power Generators are not a new idea, with many created by hobbyist for
residential use with small scale energy in mind, to charge batteries in case of a power
outage or natural disaster. We are looking to expand upon these designs and build a DC
generator that will convert human power into electrical power. The objective is to build a
device that is safer and more power efficient. If our product design were to be built and
shipped to people across the globe, it would be imperative that it meets all the safety
specifications that any national commercial product entails. (Brandon Hayes, Louis

actual material/structure of commercial bicycle tires, and the novel electricity-generation
mechanism was clarified. As the TBT system had a fully inserted (packaged) structure, it
could generate extremely stable electrical output for 120,000 cycles. The electrical
performance was quantitatively analyzed depending on the design parameters and riding
situation. The findings demonstrated that the TBT system can be effectively used to
enhance bicycle safety; according to the peak magnitude and waveform data, the TBT
system can function as a self-powered bicycle pressure sensor. Second, the freestanding-
mode TBT system can be utilized as a self-powered bicycle safety light in real time,
demonstrated by its ability to power LEDs. J(in-ho Son, Deokjae Heo, Yeonsu Song,
