Fitness-inspired for mobile charger

Bicycle is known as one of the popular transport options among students to go to class. It is also used for students to do some lightweight exercise. There is waste of human energy in the sense of friction and expanded heat as the bicycle moves without being noticed. The wasted human energy would be useful if it were captured and converted into usable electric power. The process of capturing and converting human energy into electrical energy is known as energy harvesting. By considering energy harvesting as one of the alternate supply energy, it can be a help to reduce the using of fossil fuel, restoring the green environment and to reduce the future risk of energy supply uncertainty This project based on the idea by converting kinetic energy to electrical energy through human energy harvesting during riding a bicycle. The power generated by the cycling can either be used for charging the mobile phone or can be stored in a power bank for later use. A hardware prototype of this project is developed and tested for charging the mobile phone and power banks.
