Abstract |
|
Conventional bicycle is exhaustive for long drives as it causes fatigue to the knees. To overcome this there is advancement in cycle technology leading to fulcrum bicycle. This bicycle works on the lever principle instead of conventional circular pedalling. The cycle has the same sprocket and chain mechanism but a slight difference in the process of actuation. Lever principle provides mechanical advantage which helps in reducing the fatigue caused by conventional cycling. One end of the lever is connected to the pedal whereas the other end is connected to two binary links. The primary link undergoes slight oscillations providing rotary motion to the secondary link which rotates the axis shaft of the sprocket. Conventional cycle has the pedals attached to the secondary link. The lever length and the length of primary link can be changed in accordance to the convenience needed by the rider. |
