A Bicycle-Powered Generator is a simple and eco-friendly device that converts human pedaling power into electrical energy. By attaching a generator or alternator to the rear wheel or crank mechanism of a bicycle, the rotational motion produced by pedaling is converted into electricity, which can be used to power small appliances, charge batteries, or provide lighting.

This system is ideal for renewable energy demonstrations, emergency backup power, and rural applications where grid electricity is unavailable.

Parts Used:

1. Bicycle Frame & Pedal System – provides mechanical motion
2. Roller / Flywheel – transfers motion from wheel to generator
3. DC Generator / Alternator – converts rotational motion into electrical power
4. Drive Belt / Chain – connects wheel/flywheel to generator shaft
5. Rectifier Circuit – converts AC (if alternator used) to DC
6. Charge Controller – regulates output to prevent overcharging of batteries
7. Battery Bank (Optional) – stores generated energy for later use
8. Inverter (Optional) – converts DC to AC for household appliances
9. Wiring & Connectors – for electrical connections
10. Load Devices – lights, fans, mobile chargers, or other small appliances
