Human Powered Machine – A Case Study
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 6
Abstract
In the present investigation, in the recent past human powered flywheel motor concept has been used for chaff cutter, bricks making, wood turning, cloth washing, turmeric polishing. The machine uses bicycle technology, with speed increasing gearing and a flywheel, which drive the process unit through a spiral jaw clutch and torque increasing gearing. The operator uses the pedal power to operate the machine and transmit this power through crank chain to free wheel to the working unit. This human powered flywheel motor concept (HPFM) provide new era in the human powered agriculture processing, harvesting, post harvested operations equipment’s. Considering social, cultural and environmental factor as well as in many rural operations utilizing unskilled worker and in Vidharbha rejoin there is more problem of electricity so this kind of HPFM concept is helpful in driving various rural machines. The machine is economically viable, can be adopted for human powered process units which could have intermitted operation without affecting the end product.
