| dc.description.abstract | Everyone enjoys an occasional stroll on a bicycle once in a while. For those who are adrenaline junkies, they enjoy the thrill of going up and down steep hills. Unfortunately those could be really tiring for those who aren't in a good shape but still they have the enthusiasm for an adventure, those activities could be really taxing to the body and even lethal when concentration is on the low when fatigue takes control of the body. Therefore, the need for an assisted pedaling mechanism arises to provide an additional force to lessen the pressure on the legs. What better ways to do it than using a solar assisted driving mechanism mounted on the bicycle gear system? The rising issue of eco-friendly technology these days has created awareness for all of us to think of improving everyday necessity to be more sustainable looking at the depleting resource of our mother nature. As a result, the use of renewable energy in the form of sunlight was taught to be the best alternative for this outdoor vehicle. A solar assisted driving mechanism for bicycle would be the prefect addition to the bicycle in terms of convenience and sustainability. It could also attract the general public to use it as their main mean of transportation to further promote eco-friendly technology as a way to preserve our natural resources. The purpose of this project is to design and build a solar assisted driving mechanism for bicycle. The objective of the driving mechanism is to aide the cyclist when going uphill or even just a normal stroll on flat roads by providing an extra force powered by the motor attached to the bicycle system. The motor will also use electric as the only source of power through the solar panel, which is connected to the motor. By having the photovoltaic cells transforming the light into electricity will power the motor to pump in additional torque to aide the forward movement of the bicycle. The assistance will be activated through pedaling which has a magnetic switch and microcontroller to detect the rpm of the pedal and smartly detect the voltage produced to determine when to activate the motor. | |
