ABSTRACT Efficycle 2012 is a national level technical event, whose objective is to bring out the creative and innovative ideas of Engineering students. It aims out at creating a vehicle which is economical and eco-friendly. It also provides us a platform where we are applying the basic engineering skills we had learned. Our task is to design and build a three wheeled vehicle, powered by human and electrical means. The design should be commercially viable as a product and should be attractive to the consumers.

Roll cage analysis using ANSYS: Roll cagewas analyzed in the ANSYS software. Cage was analyzed at each and every stage and the extra members were provided in order to reduce the stress concentration. The roll cage is initially meshed and the nodes are found. Final design is tested at 2000N in case of front and side impact which is very sufficient to ensure safety. The cage also passed all other tests and had a good factor of safety. The stress diagrams are given below.
Analysis Results:
Type of Test Force applied Result
Front impact 2000 Passed
Side impact 2000. Passed
Roll over 2000 Passed
DRIVETRAIN:
The drive transmission is facilitated with the help of chains and sprockets. It is a rear wheel drive vehicle. The transmission is alternatively or simultaneously driven by motor or manual pedaling.
Manual drive type: The drive train plays a major key role in every vehicle. In our vehicle, we had used the pedaling system found in boats which is simply attached to the frame with the help of bearings on both sides. At the centre of the crank, a sprocket of 48 teeth had been fitted which is directly connected to the left freewheel, (where threading is done manually) of the rear tyre, providing a simple transmission system as found in ordinary cycles. Electrical drive type:
The simpler the electrical drive is, the simpler the manufacturing process goes on. A 0.5
The ground trembles as the champ rolls in the shop, so loud the windows start to dance. The threads on the tick black tires are beginning to tear apart and are covered in oil. Engine so blazing hot it hisses angrily at the crew. It’s up to the crew to see what is wrong with her. That’s what an auto mechanic job is, to figure out what is wrong with a car and resolve that problem.
“Let innovations empower generations” will be our jingle for E-motorcycles. It applies need-base framing technique to prompt users the needs for empowerment. The word “empower” itself if breaks apart “E M Power” can stand for “Electric Motor Power”. This interpretation again enforces our
The author first explains what a hybrid is, stating “A hybrid is a cross between two established varieties of plant, animal… or technology.” She introduces the hybrid vehicle, a new form of technology that stands as a possible answer for a vehicle that is both energy preserving and safer for the environment. Before she dives into details of how the vehicle works, she enlightens the reader on what the article is about and the objective of the hybrid vehicle. Students enrolling in an engineering course in a post-secondary institution will be more
There’s nothing that we love more than a well-designed bike! A Human-Electric hybrid bicycle, also known as an e-bike, is a bicycle with an electric motor used to power the vehicle or to assist with pedalling and use rechargeable batteries. The human-electric hybrid bicycle may best be described as 'human power augmented' as in blending human and motor power. Herein lies its uniqueness, utility and exceptional riding enjoyment.
Abstract—In this modern era, many advancements in technology have been witnessed. Research and data collected around the world have allowed for these advancements to take place. This has allowed for a better understanding of the footprint humans leave on the environment. As a result, this has allowed for the planet to become eco-friendlier. An eco-friendly advancement in the 21st century is the electric vehicle. There are a plethora of benefits using electric vehicles. Some advantages include no emissions, cost-effective, and low maintenance.
A snowmobile is squeeze and go, a motorcycle is clutch, shift and twist. A timbersled has a track instead
Purpose - To explain to the class about manual transmission cars and how to drive one.
Vehicle 1 was equipped with an independent front short and long arm suspension with an anti-roll bar, front torsion bar spring, front coil springs and gas
Electric cars are vehicles, which, instead of internal combustion engines, are driven by electric motors and controllers. They have proved to be a good substitute for conventional vehicles and are considered as a revolutionary innovation designed to protect the earth from the damaging effects of global warming, as they work on the electricity supplying the integrated rechargeable battery that can be easily recharged. Compared to traditional means of transport, electric vehicles seem to be more viable and environmentally friendly because they do not need oil or other fossil fuels as an energy source but the high cost of such a car and other important issues of exploitation discussed in this paper make their use very doubtful comparing to the usual cars.
To drive your car, you hold down the clutch and shift into 1st gear, easing the clutch until the your vehicle begins moving.
If it is true that the kick scooter in the early years of its creation was seen just as a toys for kids, nowadays it is taken into account when people talk about viable options of commuting within the cities. (Stacey, 2008, para.1, 6). Toronto could not be the exception and as fast as the transportation in the city develop, citizens search different options to make their experience of traveling more efficient (Marciniak, 2009, para1.). Referring to this topic, Marciniak provides an overview of what the kick scooter is and why people choose it, including the high quality materials used to manufacture the kick scooter; such as the “aluminum and polyurethane” (Stacey, 2008, para.5) but he also points out the different opinions presented by people; some of them bearing in mind that this invention can be consider just a toy not a transport and the others highlighting the positive benefits presented by the kick scooter. For example Marciniak alludes the large amount of time economized going from one place to another, the money saved by using a kick scooter because it does not require a large maintenance to work properly and the convenience of use; no occupying a lot of space and being easy to
Electric cars are becoming very popular in today’s world and are becoming more main stream. One reason for this is the need for automobiles that have a lower or a zero carbon footprint. For the majority of the history of the automobile, the propulsion system was a gas or a diesel engine that would run off of fossil fuels. The burning of fossil fuels is very hazardous to our world and also creates much toxic pollution. However, electric cars run off of electricity, which is a very clean and pollution free resource, depending on how the electricity was produced of course. In this paper we are going to examine the history of electric cars, look into modern electric car technology, and peer into the future of electric car technology to see if EVs might be the answer to dramatically reducing our global pollution.
Technology has been advancing since the turn of the century at an unparalleled pace with the constant announcement of new gadgets and innovations. Of the thousands of new technological advancements made in the past decade, the introduction of the electric car has been the most widely discussed topic. Electric cars are one hundred percent emission free and can replace the fire spitting, bone chilling sounds of a thunderous gasoline engine with the eloquent silence of luxury and speed. However, as with all things technological, electric vehicles have their problems. Electric cars have several benefits and could possibly replace gas cars in the future, but they are not refined enough to take over the world today because of a few technicalities
An electric scooter should not be judged just because of its speed and the distance it can travel. The best folding electric scooters should have a small radio that allows the users of the same, to be handled in narrow spaces such as the aisles of supermarkets or elevators and landings. Scooters must also have sufficient ground clearance so they can roll on surfaces or objects without damaging the chassis or engine. Lastly, we must choose scooters with a minimum power that will bring us up slopes of at least 6
