Experimental Setup of Pedal Operated Centrifugal Pump for Low-lift Applications

Abstract
Objective of this paper based on renewable energy , If we boost the research on pedal powered technology - trying to make up for seven decades of lost opportunities - and steer it in the right direction, pedals and cranks could make an important contribution to running a post-carbon society that maintains many of the comforts of a modern life. The possibilities of pedal power largely exceed the use of the bicycle. As the concept of pedal renewable energy is emerging again with the revolutionary approach to clean the environment so many inventions are before us. So we had made an attempt to design and construct pedal operated water pump which is used in small irrigation like gardening is illustrated in this paper. The pedal operated pump can be construct using local material and skill. A water system includes a Centrifugal pump operated by pedal power. The pump stand includes a housing in which a foot pedal and a drive shaft rotate. It works on the principle of compression and sudden release of a tube by creating negative pressure in the tube and this vacuum created draws water from the sump. This can be built using locally available materials and can be easily adapted to suit the needs of local people. This free the user from rising energy costs and can be used anywhere, produce pollution less environment and provide healthy exercise
