1.Introduction

The unicycle is a one wheel bike that needs the rider to balance it without falling
down. It usually can be seen at the circus show where the clown riding them in a
dangerous form to entertain the audiences. The rider needs to find the centre of gravity
by balancing their body and also controlling the pedal. The bike could fall in four
directions which are left, right, forward and back. It means that the rider have to balance
the bike from falling down by balancing all directions. In the modern era, the unicycle
has advances to more sophisticated design. The movement of the bike is control by
using a DC motor.

F1.1Powered Monowheel In 1869 F1.2 Update& Upgrade Monowheel In 2022


The balance of the bike is controlled by the sensors called gyro meter and
accelerometer. This will prevent the bike from falling forward and backward.
Meanwhile, the left and right are control by the rider inertias. However, in building the
electric vehicle the stability issue needs to be considered and measured accurately. As it
is one wheel the speed of the motor also needs to be controlled properly to get the
stability. The inertial measurement unit consists of three different sensors that soldered
together on one board. The three sensors are accelerometer, the gyroscope and the
magnetometer. The accelerometer is used to measure the change of velocity at a time

DESIGNE AND DEVELOPMENT OF AN ELECTRIC POWERED MONOWHEEL SCOOTER Page 1


M.S. Ramaiah University Of Applied Science – Faculty Of Engineering Of Technology (FET)

F1.3 The Side View Of Unicycle F1.4 The Isometric View Of Unicycle
It is hard to control the stability of the bike since it depends on motor instead of the
rider's pedal force to create the movement. The design considers the rider’s
comfortable. It comes with cushion seat, the handle for grip, the foot rest, speedometer
and the front light for night travelling. So, there will be a large space for the battery to
power the motor and for other electronics devices. The design also needs to be
validating with the weight of the unicycle that reach about 25kg.Both accelerometer and
gyroscope must work together to balance the unicycle. This is because with
accelerometer alone, there is much noise produces although when the object is at rest
mode and accelerometer cannot differentiate between the acceleration caused by the
movement or the gravity. So the tilt angle could not be defined well because of these
noises. If the gyroscope is used alone, there will be drift phenomenon occurs. The drift
phenomenon is an error that the object is producing an output although the motor is
not moving. Thus, the object cannot stand still and it is hard to achieve the stability.
Electric scooters are an environmental friendly transportation medium that going to be
used by our future generation broadly. E-Scooters are green and economical which is a
crucial factor for social and economical development nowadays.

1.1.1 Scope Of Work


A monowheel is the ideal means of contemporary transportation. This clean energy
source is especially appealing to ecologically minded people. Save yourself time and
stress during your work commute and simply do without the carIt is a fantastic means of
transport for short trips in the city. You can take your own scooter with you on public
transport and in your car. And you can also use shared scooters for short trips in the city.
Developing a one-wheeled electric vehicle which has features that can over-come all the
problems mentioned above since it has small longitudinal length and low carbon
footprint. Moreover, they are suitable for all age groups and do not require any
registration taxes. Most humans can learn to ride a bike without any problem because
humans are skilled to balancing laterally left to right and the gyroscopic effect of the
wheels makes it easy to stay up once on the move.

1.1.2 Motivation of work


Monowheels have always existed in one form or another since the 19th century. But
because of design problems, they didn’t gain popular acceptance as predicted by some
enthusiasts.Monowheels are often seen as more innovative and future-oriented over
inline skates or skateboards. As you become a more experienced rider, the addiction
factor only increases plus you get to enjoy fresh air as you travel. The
technologicaladvancements like self-balancing systems and powerful electric motors,
the monowheel has gone from a fringe curiosity to a legitimate means of transportation.
advancements in technology made it possible for monowheels to become stabler and
more manoeuvrable. Today, there are several variants of the monowheel that are
becoming more popular among the young and active city dwellers.

4. Problem Solving

4.1 Overview and concepts


By referring through different articles and websites, concepts can be majorly
differentiated to 3 concepts. So in this section the different concepts and their detailing
are explained
4.1.2 Brushless DC Motor

Fig4.2:- Brushless DC Motor


BLDC motor also consists of rotor position sensors that produce electrical signals
that indicate the current position of the rotor. The stator winding of the BLDC motor is
driven by an electronic drive which is a three-phase inverter.

The permanent magnet brushless DC motors use Hall sensors with 60 degrees of
electrical spacing. These sensors produce a logic 1 when exposed to the N-type of the
rotor and logic 0 otherwise.

In the BLDC motor,

 The fields produced by the stator and rotor remain stationary with respect to
each other.
 The driver circuit operates on a dc supply
 Speed = 380 Rpm

DESIGNE AND DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTRIC POWERED MONOWHEEL SCOOTER Page 12


M.S. Ramaiah University Of Applied Science – Faculty Of Engineering Of Technology (FET)

 Wheel size = 10 inch


 Efficiency = 85%
 Dimensions = 22*15*14 cm
 Motor cost = 12000 – 18000 Rs
To determine the RPM of the motor
Speed = 18 Km/hr

= 5 m/s

To determine the linear distance travelled


Linear distance travelled= D or 2 r
Now we have a diameter of 0.254
= 0.254
=0.797 m
To determine the RPM

N = 376.41 RPM
To achieve 18 Km/hr speed we need 376.41RPM motor, 376.41 RPM motor is not
available we can consider 380 RPM hub motor
Specification of motor are
Now
Gross Vehicle weight(GVW) = 100kg
Radius = 0.125 m
Acceleration = 4-5 sec
Top speed = 18 km/hr
Maximum incline angel(α) = 12o

DESIGNE AND DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTRIC POWERED MONOWHEEL SCOOTER Page 13


M.S. Ramaiah University Of Applied Science – Faculty Of Engineering Of Technology (FET)

To choose motor capable of producing enough torque to propel the vehicle, it is


necessary to determine the Total Tractive Effort (TTE) requirements of the vehicle,
TTE=RR+GR+FA
Where,
TTE=Total Tractive Effort (N),
RR= force necessary to overcome rolling resistance (N),
GR = force required to climb a grade (N),
FA = force required to accelerate to final velocity (N),
Step 1: To determine Rolling Resistance (RR) in Newton
Rolling Resistance (RR) is the force necessary to propel a vehicle over a particular
surface. The worst possible surface type to be encountered by the vehicle should be
factored into the equation,

Where,
RR = rolling resistance (N)
WW = weight on wheel (kg)
= Rolling friction co-efficient

To ConvertNewton into Watts

Step 2: To Determine Grade Resistance (GR) In Newton


Grade resistance (GR) is the amount of the force necessary to move vehicle up a
slop “Grade” This calculation must be made using the maximum angle of grade the
vehicle will be expected to climb in normal operation, to convert in incline angle (α) to
grade resistance.

DESIGNE AND DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTRIC POWERED MONOWHEEL SCOOTER Page 14


M.S. Ramaiah University Of Applied Science – Faculty Of Engineering Of Technology (FET)

Step 3: To Find Acceleration Force in Newton


Acceleration force (FA) is the force necessary to accelerate from a stop to maximum
speed in a desired time.

Now

Step 4: To Determine Total Tractive Effort,


The total tractive effort (TTE) is the sum of forces calculation in the step 1,2,and 3,

Step 5: To determine wheel torque,


To verify the vehicle will performed as designed in regards to tractive effort and
acceleration, it is necessity to calculate the require wheel torque based on tractive
effort,
Wheel Torque
Radius of Wheel

4.1.3 Gyroscope

Fig4.1.3 : MPU 6050 3 Axis Gyro & Amp Accelerometer


A gyroscope is a device used for measuring or maintaining orientation
and angular velocity. It is a spinning wheel or disc in which the axis of rotation (spin axis)
is free to assume any orientation by itself When rotating, the orientation of this axis is
unaffected by tilting or rotation of the mounting, according to the conservation of
angular momentum.In electric powered mono-wheel vehicle mainly two types of
gyroscope were used.
Advantages Of Gyroscope
One advantage of using a gyroscope is that it can be usedto control the attitude
of something without havingany physical contact with it. This makes them ideal foruse in
space applications where there is no air resistanceand they can be used to stabilize
satellites and keep spacecraft pointing in the right direction. Another advantage is that
they have high accuracyand precision due to their design which eliminates most external
sources of error
Disadvantages Of Gyroscope
Gyroscopes can also be miniaturized which means they take up less space and
require less power than other types of sensors. A disadvantage of gyroscopes is that
they can be sensitive to vibration and mechanical shock which can cause errors in
readings. They also have relative stability meaning their accuracy degrades over time
unless recalibrated regularly.

4.1.4 Using Battery


Battery is the main part of any electric vehicle. By referring the journal papers we
got a clarity about which type of batteries is used in electric powered mono wheel,
lithium ion battery is most widely used for electric powered mono wheel.

A battery works on the oxidation and reduction reaction of an electrolyte with


metals. When two dissimilar metallic substances, called electrode, are placed in a
diluted electrolyte, oxidation and reduction reaction take place in the electrodes
respectively depending upon the electron affinity of the metal of the electrodes. As a
result of the oxidation reaction, one electrode gets negatively charged called cathode
and due to the reduction reaction, another electrode gets positively charged called
anode.

The cathode forms the negative terminal whereas anode forms the positive terminal
of a battery. To understand the basic principle of battery properly, first, we should have
some basic concept of electrolytes and electrons affinity. Actually, when two dissimilar
metals are immersed in an electrolyte, there will be a potential difference produced
between these metals.

• 60V and 10AH battery is used for our project


• Charge/discharge efficiency is 80-90%
• Self discharge rate is up to 0.35 to 2.5% per month depending on state of charge
• Cycle durability is 4000-1200 cycles
• Life of battery is of 3-5 years based on usage

7. Conclusions and Suggestions for Future Work

7.1 Conclusion
The self-balancing personal transporter has ability to carry a person to move from one
place to another within the large campus. The vehicle will balances itself by moving the
device in forward direction or backward direction base on the readings from sensors.
Thus the monowheel is much helpful in the large campuses like airports, universities,
space centers and in large industries etc. This system reduces the work of humans as
well as no pollution it provides ecofriendlyenvironment.It was designed and constructed
a mean of transport based on electric energy, easy to drive in urban zones to improve
the people viability, getting a speed of 25 km/h. It was chosen a lithium-ion battery to
present a great lifetime (60V), with a gyroscopic sensor respectively that sends the
signals to a Brushless electric motor of 240W. The electric unicycle doesn´t contaminate,
in an acoustic or atmospheric way, besides it doesn´t provoke vehicular traffic
congestion, being a great, novel and technological contribution. After the research
process in the mobility system, it is clear the width superiority in respect to efficiency, in
comparison to conventional means of transport.

7.2Future Work
• According to the research reviewed, many projects have been performed on
monowheel vehicle in our project, we are attempting to apply a design that is
suited for customers to balance and drive simply, as well as being
environmentally friendly and compact in size.
• Mono Wheel bike which is present in the day life comes with a Gyroscopic which
increases the manufacturing cost of the bike, where as we came up with an idea
which eliminates the Gyroscopic and reduce the cost of the bike
• In the future work, the load carrying capacity can be increase.
• Distance travelled can be maximize.
• Charging time can be improved
