To design and develop pedal operated turnstile power generation system

Mechanical Engineering

Alternative approaches to sustainable energy generation are becoming more and more necessary in the current period of rising energy consumption and environmental concerns. In order to transform human mechanical effort into useful electrical energy, this project focuses on designing and developing a pedal-operated turnstile power generation system. The main concept is to use an electric generator and a mechanical turnstile with a pedal-driven mechanism to capture energy from pedestrian movement in high-traffic locations. The mechanism is constructed with a tripod-style turnstile that has pedals that users can rotate or press.
