The club and their mentor, George Leone, have proposed a senior project to design, build, and test the drivetrain for this year’s human powered vehicle. Research into human powered vehicles and their drivetrains has shown that the power that a rider can output and the efficiency at which the rider can pedal depend extensively on the design of the drivetrain. Despite the existence of standard bicycle drivetrain designs, the senior project team has found that the best design to meet the club’s requirements is a completely custom drivetrain based on the rider’s dimensions and preferences. The team defined a list of technical specifications that they used to validate the completed final prototype. The final confirmation prototype functioned as intended and all the specifications were met with the exception of total cost. Details of the team’s design, manufacturing, and testing processes are outlined in this document. iii Table of Contents 1.

  • Electric Vehicle Conversion: Optimisation of Parameters in the Design Process
    M. Gordić i dr. Prepravak u električno vozilo: optimizacija parametara u procesu konstruiranja ISSN 1330-3651 (Print), ISSN 1848-6339 (Online) https://doi.org/10.17559/TV-20160613131757 ELECTRIC VEHICLE CONVERSION: OPTIMISATION OF PARAMETERS IN THE DESIGN PROCESS Mirko Gordić, Dragan Stamenković, Vladimir Popović, Slavko Muždeka, Aleksandar Mićović Preliminary communication One of the directions for making cleaner and more economic vehicles is to adopt electric vehicle concept. The paper shows current design concepts for electric vehicles worldwide, as well as current sources for supplying vehicles with electric energy. It describes a conversion of one vehicle so that it can be powered by electric motor. The results of tractive and dynamic characteristics calculation and vehicle stability simulation, before and after the conversion, are shown. Obtained results and influential factors are analysed so they can be optimised in order to influence the final characteristics of the converted vehicle. The conclusion is that the complete optimisation process should be performed before the beginning of vehicle conversion in order to avoid undesirable effects, i.e. undesirable characteristics of converted vehicle and high conversion costs. Keywords: conversion; electric vehicle; vehicle dynamics Prepravak u električno vozilo: optimizacija parametara u procesu konstruiranja Prethodno priopćenje Jedan od pravaca ka stvaranju čistijih i ekonomičnijih vozila jeste prihvatanje koncepta električnog vozila. Rad predstavlja suvremene koncepte konstrukcije električnih vozila širom svijeta, kao i načine snabdjevanja vozila energijom. Opisan je prepravak vozila kako bi ga se moglo pogoniti elektro- motorom. Prikazani su rezultati vučno-dinamičkog proračuna i simulacije stabilnosti prije i poslije prepravka. Analizirani su dobiveni rezultati i utjecajni čimbenici radi optimiziranja u cilju utjecaja na karakteristike prepravljenog vozila.

B. Yapalaparvi Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department of Mechanical Engineering Hirasugar Institute of Technology, Nidasoshi, Karnataka Hirasugar Institute of Technology, Nidasoshi, Karnataka (India) (India) Abstract The wheelchair is one of the most commonly used assistive devices for enhancing personal mobility, which is a precondition for enjoying human rights and living in dignity and assists people with disabilities to become more productive members of their communities. For many people, an appropriate, well-designed and well-fitted wheelchair can be the first step towards inclusion and participation in society. When the need is not met, people with disabilities are isolated and do not have access to the same opportunities as others within their own communities. Providing wheelchairs that are fit for the purpose not only enhances mobility but begins a process of opening up a world of education, work and social life [1]. The development of national policies and increased training opportunities in the design, production and supply of wheelchairs are essential next steps. Every human being need to move from one place another to fulfill his requirements and to accomplish that requirements he will travel from one place to another place by walking which is a basic medium of transportation. But it is exceptional in case of physically disables (Persons don’t have both legs). In order to support and help such a person’s we designed a special manually lever operated wheel chair.

  • Adjustments and Settings Electronic Groupsets
    ADJUSTMENTS 1 - ZERO SETTING of the rear derailleur IMPORTANT! Resetting the rear derailleur to zero is a particularly delicate operation and must be carried out when the bicycle is stationary and placed on a stand. This is why it should be conducted only and exclusively by a Campagnolo Service Center, a Campagnolo Pro-shop or a mechanic specialised in mounting EPS groupsets. 1.1 - HOW TO RESET THE REAR DERAILLEUR TO ZERO During the first installation and in some cases when the rear wheel is replaced, if the set of sprockets of the new wheel is very different from the set of sprockets previously installed, it is necessary to conduct a more accurate adjustment by resetting the rear derailleur to zero. • During the resetting, the rear derailleur is shifted con- Left control lever Right control lever tinuously and this depends on how long the levers 2 (B - Fig.1) and 3 (C - Fig.1) , located on the rear derailleur control, are pressed.

  • Friction-Producing Mechanisms of a Bicycle Chain
    Friction-Producing Mechanisms of a Bicycle Chain _ Effectiveness of Chain Lubricants for Reducing Frictional Losses Copyright ©2014 Friction Facts, LLC rev 5-13-14 Overview The friction-producing mechanisms of a bicycle chain moving through a derailleur-style drivetrain are unique and relatively complex. These friction- producing mechanisms arise from friction created in individual links, which are subjected to multiple regions of both high and low pressure, reciprocating sliding forces, and stiction. As such, testing methods for chain efficiency and chain lubricants must address these complex mechanisms. This paper explores the details of how friction is created in a bicycle chain in a modern-derailleur style drivetrain, the role of chain lubricants to minimize friction in a chain, and the limitations of commonly-used friction test methods. This paper also suggests a testing process to analyze the efficiency of a chain and lubricant in a manner specifically relevant to chain friction-producing mechanisms. Friction-Producing Mechanisms of a Chain From a simplified standpoint, the friction created (wasted energy) by a roller chain is generally proportional to: [chain tension] x [sine of lateral deflection] x [link articulation angle at a given engagement or disengagement point] x [number of link articulations per unit time at that point] x [total engagement and disengagement points in the complete drivetrain]. This basic formula has been demonstrated by multiple drivetrain studies and, more recently, by tests performed by Friction Facts. Essentially, friction is created each time an individual link, under a finite level of tension, bends (articulates) as it engages or disengages the teeth of a cog, pulley, or chainring.

We all know that wheels make things easier to move, but normal panniers are awkward things to carry off the bike, which is one reason so many people pedal under the burden of a rucksack these days. That may be bearable for small amounts of luggage or distance, but not if you have lots to carry and it's more than a couple of miles to work or the shops.
