But due to the unavailabilty of the hydrogen cylinders and the less chances of success, we changed the topic to develop and elecric bike regenerative braking. It was not an easy task for us to design the system because we all were in a delimma about the topic how to convert the wastage of energy into useful energy. After discussing the topic with our personal tutor, i decided to clubb the exercising machine with power generating system. Secondly, another major challenge that we faced during the project was the method of power transmission. The mechanical power developed by the motor has to be transmitted to wheels through transmission. In the initial stages, we decided to adopt single gear transmission. But the main challenge was in single gear transmission, it is important to have high torque. For this purpose i used 2 set of level gears with reduction cost of 1:5:1. By this shaft transmission method we could reduce the breakdowns and noise. For the better efficiency and high performance of the prototype, i chose shaft driven bikes instead of chain drive bikes. Eventhough it has some disadvantages, one among them was the heavier frame construction and the quality of gears. But for the efficient operation of the bicycle it was necessary to use shaft driven
Here starts the tale of how a (LEGEND) came to be. In 1903 William Harley along with Arthur and Walter Davidson of Milwaukee,WI began experimenting with an internal combustion engine in a small wooden shed, amazingly the shed doesn’t burn down and the motorcycle that was built in it goes over 100,000 miles under 5 owners. And that was just the beginning, soon after that first bike being built; it began to happen. A cheap reliable form of transportation was needed in the country. Henry Ford’s automobiles were a little expensive for the average family. So a niche opens up for the motorcycle. Though there was no cutting- edge technology in their design, it worked. The trio had just brought a single cylinder engine (based on a DeDion design) and tube type bicycle frame together. Painted in gloss black, that first machine was admired by friends and family - now it gets interesting.
The use of manual was deemed too tedious and inert. At immense speeds, the use of a slick shift would be very tough and the drivers wont have that much time to react. Hence the use of more sophisticated and easier transmission systems have come into play. The paddle shift gearboxes are very easy to use. And with the combined strikeforce of a twin plate clutch gearbox, the gear changes are lightning fast. The use of electrohydraulics can be seen here. There is no clutch. Just a brake and a throttle pedal. The flappy paddles are located behing the steering wheel which make it easy for the driver to access it without much
For the second electronics project, my partner and I worked together to program an Arduino to light up and dim an LED with a switch, and then by using different frequencies of light to change the brightness of the LED. We also set up three switches to control the amount of red, green, and blue in the LED and use it to make different colors. We first set up a single light circuit that similar to that of the first project. We then added a switch to the breadboard that would allow us to turn on and off the LED. We then removed the switch and added a potentiometer. This allows us to change the brightness of the LED by turning the potentiometer. The next task was to add a photoresistor that would take in light and change the LED brightness according
When the gear of the dynamo is engaged, the generator wheel rolls against the chain wheel and the flywheel on the same shaft as the dynamo. The dynamo fit into the bracket welded near the back of the bike. The chain on the right is driven by the pedals, while an added chain on the left spins the motor. On the side that's driven by the pedals, a freewheel rotates the wheel when pedaling but allows it to keep spinning forward, without the chain moving. When pedaling backwards, on the left side of the wheel, a fixed cog spins in the direction of the chain whenever the wheel is turning. This motion produces electricity, and the greater the speed, the greater is the amount of electricity produced. The principle of energy c...

Personal Reflection of ENGR 4501; Engineering Case Studies In our course, engineering case studies, we primarily focused on study of great achievements and historic failures in engineering, with focus on ethical issues and societal impacts. This is important because as a profession we the engineers are expected to adhere the welfare of the society we are supporting and improving. In any profession, we are expected to perform honestly with the utmost respect to every individual’s well-being. In engineering this is especially important because our profession has major economic, environmental, cultural, and political impact.
Before the advent of the automobile, buggies were typically propelled by one or more horses. Even with the first automobiles there was a need for a drive system, though, since those horses were no longer there. One thing that has remained common to every car is a motor and transmission system of some sort, but what varies greatly between cars is what is between the transmission and the wheels, also known as the drive train. There are many different styles of drive trains, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.
At the dawn of the information age, to be young, as Wordsworth said in another context, is very heaven. Getting to know what goes inside computers, the engines of the Information Technology revolution, and knowing how to work with them enables one to understand the technology that makes it all possible. Understanding this, I chose to do my undergraduate study in Electronics and Communications engineering.
My fascination towards Electronics N Communication basically developed in the 12th when I took part in a science exhibition. I was then fascinated with the complexities of different structures and their working. The i...

As an engineering student, design, develop and test electrical equipments is the major purpose of all time. In other words, electrical engineer is concerned with using electricity to transmit electric power. In electrical engineering, there are extensive subfields such as power engineering, control system and signal processing. It is also worth to point out the difference between electrical engineering and electronic engineering. According to the research, electronic engineering is a major that deal with the electronic system such as computers and radar, to be more specific, electronic engineers are concerned with using electricity to process information.
Electrical engineering deals with electricity, electro-magnetism and electronics. It also covers power, control systems, telecommunications and signal processing. These engineers are usually concerned with large-scale electrical systems such as motor control and power transmission, as well as utilizing electricity to transmit energy. Electrical engineers may work on a diverse range of technologies, from the design of household appliances, lighting
While I was in high school, not only was I an active volunteer in several activities such as food drives and helping those in need, in addition to community work, but also I became invested in engineering sciences due to my perceptions regarding the importance of electrical engineering to an emerging industrial country such as mine. Therefore, as I was to graduate soon, I decided to specialize in this science as a student and future professional. Fortunately, through my undergraduate studies, not only did I found the science to be highly intriguing and vast giving way access to endless disciplines, but I have also found that it is very much correlated to numerous other sciences. This observation prompted me to further delve in my studies to become one day a well-informed engineer.
I took up subjects like Analog Integrated Circuit, Power Electronics, Electric Drives and Circuits, Operations Research, Power System Analysis, Power System Switchgear and Micro-controller and its applications. In addition, I have also worked on mini-projects like “Alcohol Breath Analyser using Arduino Microcontroller” and “Intelligent Trash can using AVR Microcontroller”. These have given me good exposure for research work and also increased my confidence to work as a team and independently. From the feedback that I received about my project reports and presentations I deduced that I can articulate my ideas coherently. I have also supplemented my analytical skills with electives in Numerical Analysis and Probability and Statistics. To see and learn more about the techniques I learnt in classroom, I wanted to do an Implant
Electrical motors play an important role in today’s society, from powering domestic appliances like blenders to industrial equipment such as trains. It almost seems impossible to not use an electric motor in our daily lives. In the comfort of our home, electric motors will operate fans, refrigerators, and air conditioners to just name a few. Researchers are constantly looking for new ways to incorporate electrical motors into our lives. Electrical motors function by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy by using the energy stored in the magnetic field (Sarma, 1981).
