Improvised Pedal Type to Light the Bulb… 1
Chapter 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
The pedal operated power generator utilizes human energy to
produce electricity quickly and efficiently. The goal is to provide
technological solution to problem in the rural world by using detailed
opportunity recognition, evaluation, and development of prototype. The
prototypes are then turned over to the developing world for manufacturing,
distribution and use.
Using human powered generation gives a power source that is not
directly derived from natural sources. An example is that a human powered
generator can be operated if there is no sun for solar generation, no wind
for wind generation, and no water for hydro generation. The power
generated from pedal is perfect for remote areas, hilly regions, strategic
location, Islands etc., where electricity generation is scanty if not nil. In these
situations, a small portable power generating unit would be of great help to
provide power supply to charge battery-operated gadgets like mobile
phones, lamps, radio, communication devices, etc. It is important to
visualize new ways to bring power to the people as population continues to
grow and power shortages continue to occur. Much of the power that is
provided to people today is done in very un-sustainable ways; new ideas
are needed to transit into a post cheap-petroleum era. This design relates
to very compact and easily portable power-generating unit, which besides

being used as a power generator can also be used as cycle exerciser. It
serves dual purpose of power generation and helping the person to maintain
physical fitness through exercise of muscles of legs. It can be pedaled or
cranked by hand/foot to charge 12 volt batteries and run small appliances.
Background of the study
There are many types of generator, this generator will help a lot of
people especially if you live in a place that is prone to power interruptions.
This generator is one of the best alternative source of electricity. Furnishing
a generator is not only a convenience, but a safety precaution.
The researchers choose to do this study because not all people could
afford to purchase one due to its expensive price. It is for this reason that
this “Improvised Generator” was conceptualized. Benefits of biking and
exercise is weight loss and it is also an effective strength training option and
cycling also burns a large number of calories. So, they created this idea to
combine these two ideas to create a unique way to produce electricity while
exercising.
Significance of the Study
Company Owner. They could gain some ideas on how to save
energy.
Student. They can use the research for the future references.
General Pu blic. They could get a new source of electricity and they
can use this study for emergency backup, as it does not rely on the sun,
wind and hydro powered generator.
Theoretical Framework
Law of conservation of energy in physics, the law of conservation of
energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, just transformed
from one form to another (Valdez, 2006). The meaning of this is that it is
possible to convert one form of energy into another to create another kind
of energy. For example, a burning candle provides a light energy but the
light energy can be converted to heat energy. Heat energy can be converted
to another form like electrical energy.
Electromechanical conversion theory allows to establish expressions
for torque in terms of machine electrical variables, generally the currents
due displacement of the mechanical system (Krause, 2013).
Mechanical Energy refers to the sum of potential energy and kinetic
energy associated with the motion and position of an object. (In this study,
mechanical energy was be produced by pedaling.
Electrical Energy is the energy that is caused by moving electric
charges, denoted by voltage when it is per unit (Silverio,2013). It is also a
form of kinetic energy and the faster the flow of charges, the higher the
voltage. The piezoelectric effect refers to the ability of certain materials to

generate an electric charge in response to applied mechanical stress
(Silverio,2013).

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
Related Literature
In physics, power is defined as the rate or doing work. Work, in
physics is done only when a force is applied to a body and moves it. Work
is the product of the force and displacement resulting from application of
force, (Silverio, 2013).
Law on conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created
nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another. According
to Katoch (2012), humans are able to generate approximately 150W of
power while riding bicycle. If this energy will be used it would be able to
power many electronic devices. Nowadays, it is known that many of people
who go to the gym uses stationary bike as a means for losing weight. Also,
there are quite a number of people here in the Philippines that uses bicycle
as a mode of transportation. That is why generating power from the energy
we released can make quite a difference to the world instead of continuing
wasting our limited resources.
Power generated by pedaling can be converted from mechanical to
electrical energy by using either dynamo or alternator. Small powered
lighting devices can be charged using dynamo and can be used in the night
by students for study purposes. This principle can be extended to power
mobiles, iPods, laptops etc.

Power can be also generated from the rotation of the wheels of
alternator vehicles like bikes and cars, where there is a possibility of
generating more power. The generated power can be either used in the
same vehicle or can be stored in a battery for powering some other devices.
Riding bicycle helps in maintaining a good physic and along with it power
can be also generated (Katoch, 2012).
The rotational energy that is generated when the tire rotates because
of the application of force on the pedals can be used in two ways. This
energy can also be used in dynamo/alternator, which is then converted to
electrical energy. Rotational energy of the tire can be used to pump water
out from the well, to drive a washing machine, to operate blender/grinder
etc. These applications can be of very great use in un-electrified places.
Refrigerators can also be powered by pedaling, which are used to preserve
the food during a bicycle trip. Pedal powered pump can pump water from
wells and bore wells, which are very deep and can be used for irrigation and
drinking water purposes. In pedal powered washing machine, the plastic
barrel rotates as we pedal. Thus, water consumption can be also reduced.
Using exercise bikes also power can be generated. Particularly for people
living in cities, it is an added advantage that no separate time is needed and
along with exercise, our effort will not go waste (Koch, 2012,).
Diversifying energy carriers for the production fuels, electricity, and
heat; enhancing energy security; and reducing the long-run price of fuels
from conventional sources. Reducing pollution, environmental emissions,

and safety risks from conventional energy sources that damage human
health, natural systems, crops, and materials. Mitigating greenhouse gas
emissions down to levels that can be sustained. Improving access to clean
energy sources and conversion technologies, thereby helping to meet the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) while taking advantage of the local
availability of renewables and Reducing dependence on and minimizing
spending on imported fuels (Turkenburg, 2011).
In the above enumerated examples of advantages that can be driven
from renewable sources of energy, the researchers can infer that the bottom
line of it is that we can help solving environmental problems the most, not
to mention that by doing so, in the long run the one who will really benefit is
the human population. But while renewable sources are basically free and
unlimited, it has its disadvantages. The first disadvantage is the cost.
Although the energy from renewable sources is most often available for free,
renewable energy conversion technologies are often quite capital-intensive.
(Turkenburg, 2011). This can make renewable sources less attractive,
especially when high discount rates are applied, depending on the level of
investments needed as well as governmental interventions. The market for
renewable sources are also few, thus, making it hard to market unlike
nonrenewable sources.
She also stated that the defining equation of power is work done or
force applied to the object multiplied by displacement over time. For
example, the power rating of a person refers to how fast chemical energy
can be transformed by the body into mechanical energy. Valdez (2006) also
stated how the unit used for power was derived.
The total percentage of body weight that is fat ranges between 15
and 25 percent for males and 25 to 35 percent for females. This amount of
energy from fats that can be stored in the body is 30 to 60 times that of the
amount obtain from carbohydrates. Studies made on fat metabolism and
exercise show that during prolonged light to moderate exercise, there is a
progressive increase in the absolute amount of fat oxidized. This means that
more energy from fat is released by the body. The studies also showed that
total fat combustion is at a maximum during moderately intense exercise
and becomes during very heavy exercise (Valdez, 2006).
Related Studies
The proponents primarily chose the topic because of the abundant
resources around, Resources are one of the most important factors to
consider before conducting a research or study. The proponents were able
to found out that there are a lot of studies before that is related to the one
presented now.
Facelli (2009) conducted a research on how to crank generators to
produce electrical energy. On that time, one of the major problems of U.S.A.
was energy. He stated that there must be another option than clean coal
technology, and investment in renewable energy sources such as wind and
hydroelectric power. Wind, water and steam turbines generate energy using
natural kinetic sources to rotate drive shafts connected to electric

generators. Even students could do pedaling while they are studying and
listening. Also, consider exercise facilities like treadmills stationary bikes
could be harnessing energy if equipped with a small generator. Maybe in no
time they could build a portable pedal-powered generator that can be easily
installed in every desk.
Starner (2009) a scientist in Georgia Tech discovered that there are
390 megajoules of energy stored in the body fat of the average person (the
equivalent of 93, 150 calories—about the amount in 283 jelly doughnuts). If
only you could get that energy out, and store it and distribute it—batteries
per se could be eliminated. That is when he started making a research about
this human-powered energy. He wants to come up with a prototype that can
convert all of our wasted energy into a renewable energy and stores it like
a battery.
Gulland (2008) conducted a study about pedal-powered generator.
He was just curious if he can turn his workouts in to a useful energy. He
found out that an efficient bike generator pedaled by a reasonably fit person
can produce by up to 100 watts of electricity. Also, an experienced biker can
produce by up to 400 watts of electricity.
The pedal-powered generator cannot produce as much as a wind
turbine or a photovoltaic array it can create usable force that adds to the
general vitality needs. On the off chance that one utilize less power in the
first place, the sum created by pedal force can meet a bigger percent of the
energy needs.
Synthesis
Power generated by pedaling can be converted from mechanical to
electrical energy by using either dynamo or alternator. Small powered
lighting devices can be charged using dynamo and can be used by students
for study purposes.
One study showed that one of the major problem of U.S.A is energy.
Even student could do pedaling while they are studying and listening. Also,
the considered exercise facilities like treadmills stationary bikes could be
harnessing energy if equipped with a small generator.
This study helped previous researches to thicken the findings
regarding on how generator benefit the human population. In the above
examples it can be driven from renewable sources of energy; it can be
inferred that the bottom line of it is that we can help solving environmental
problems in the most; not to mention that by doing so, in the long run the
one who will really benefit is the human population. Additional factors are
being presented in this study compared to the previous studies conducted.
Pedal power generator can serve a dual purpose for an individual.

Research Methodology
This chapter presents the design phases of a project and the
hardware components of it. Those that were included in this chapter helps
in understanding how the machine work.
Research design
According to Okstate (2013), experimental research design is the
blueprint of the procedure that enables the researcher to test his hypothesis
by reaching valid conclusions.
This study used an experimental research to help studying the pedal
generator that made a huge impact in the world and to let people have an
enjoying moment while studying. The major instrument that is used in this
study was the questionnaire that is given to the respondents so that they
can answer, the questionnaire with the numerical rating scale. It includes
seventeen (17) questions.
Respondents of the study
A certain dictionary defines quota sampling as a sampling method of
gathering representative data from a group. It requires representative
individuals chosen out of a specific group. In this study, quota sampling is
used from gathering data where in thirty (30) selected families in Brgy Sto
Tomas Luisiana, Laguna are chosen.

Sampling Technique
Sampling is a process used in statistical analysis in which a
predetermined number of observations are taken from a larger population
depends on. The researcher used quota sampling to minimize the
respondents that will test the proposed machine. The respondents helped
the researcher gather relevant data from them.
Research Instrument
The researchers chose to have a set of questionnaires for the
population that they have selected to tests our generator.
They chose thirty (30) families in Brgy. Sto Tomas Luisiana to test
the generator and let them rate on what they think about the generator and
ask them about their opinion and suggestions which would be related to the
question that are given. Using those gathered information we can improve
the generator on what most people are compatible of or rather what they’ll
think will be best for them to see or experience.
Research Procedures
Before making the generator, testing and more data gathering are
further required for the complete success of the generator.

A generator can work thru a human effort the use of pedaling the
bicycle with a corresponding angular speed and torque. This mechanical
power turned into electric power by generator.
Statistical Treatment
The weighted mean treatment was used to interpret the gathered data
WM= 5(f) + 4(f) + 3(f) + 2(f)
Where:
F = frequency

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

The pedal operated power generator utilizes human energy to

produce electricity quickly and efficiently. The goal is to provide

technological solution to problem in the rural world by using detailed

opportunity recognition, evaluation, and development of prototype. The

distribution and use.

Using human powered generation gives a power source that is not

directly derived from natural sources. An example is that a human powered

generator can be operated if there is no sun for solar generation, no wind
