PREFACE

The main purpose of the study is to design a Merry Go Round which

utilizes human power, magneto motor, battery, charge controller and inverter

to provide AC power to those living in rural and impoverished areas for whom

cannot access modern electricity. Also the most priority of the study is to

provide a source of renewable energy to schools and household while

attributing a way for human/children to exercise and have fun. The merry-go-

round will provide energy to the human powered aspect of the AC Schools

and Household.
