In our present life we are facing an avoidable frequent power cuts for about 2-3 hours a day on an average which is hardly been controlled by wealthiest using other expensive power generation source like Diesel Generators, Solar Cells etc. but for middle class or below average people it is quite unaffordable. To overcome this problem in this project bicycle pedalling concept is employed which is beneficiary in two way It will help in electricity generation whenever needed or can be stored in battery power pack. It will also help people in maintaining the fitness of the body. Human power credit is more because of health benefit as a source of energy. More effective use of human power could be achieved through properly designed mechanisms. The main objective of this paper is to convert the rotational energy of rare wheel of the bicycle into electrical energy so that we can recharge the battery and the feasibility is analyses.
