Pedal power energy harvesting transforms the mechanical energy produced by pedalling into electrical energy, which can be used to operate devices or saved for future use. The strategy utilizes the physical exertion of pedalling to generate a reliable and eco-friendly energy source. This project aims to develop, construct, and demonstrate a functional mechanism. The generator utilizes the motion of pedalling a regular bicycle to generate electricity. The main goal of this work is to create a high-performing and effective system for producing electric power through human pedalling. The work describes the Pedalled power electricity (PPE) generation system capable of being utilized across various applications including powering electronic devices, recharging batteries, and offering emergency power support in remote locations with restricted availability of traditional power supplies. Furthermore, the document showcases the prototype created to validate the concept. Innovative approaches to sustainable power generation have been sparked by the growing demand for renewable energy sources. In order to harness human kinetic energy and generate electricity, this study examines the design and development of a pedal-powered electricity generation system. To transform mechanical energy into electrical energy, the system combines a generator and a cycling mechanism. The study offers a workable and environmentally responsible substitute for traditional power sources by highlighting the design process, technical factors, and performance results. The system’s potential for small-scale energy requirements is demonstrated by the results, especially in off-grid or low-resource environments.
