Abstract

The modern challenge faced with the global energy situation is the growing energy demand and the strong dependence on unsustainable fossil fuels. Another concurrent issue is the adverse health and socio-economic implications of adult obesity. Human Power Generation, which uses metabolized human energy to generate electrical power, could potentially address both these challenges. One of the most popular exercise machines, presently consumes large amounts of energy while dissipating a majority as heat. The purpose of this project is to design and develop a human powered electricity generator and determine its power generation potential. Again the supplies of fossil fuels are limited and their utilization as energy source causes environmental degradation due to unfinished ignition when used as energy source, in addition to this as the world population increase the order for energy sources increases, so the issue of a steady replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy source is of major consideration for most countries. Renewable power generation system is currently preferred for clean power generation. With ongoing revolution in the generation, electricity is generated at small level by using bicycle pedal.
