This works on electric power distributed by the DC electric
motor receiving the current from a battery
...

There are so many vehicles that came to influence in the existing world
...
At the present sense the fossil
fuel can exceed only for a certain period after that we have to go for a change to other
methods
...
This will be
very useful to the future needs of the world
...
So we took the innovative to build electric cycle
...
It also has a motor of
120 watts which gets the supply from batteries
...
We can also connect a dynamo which can light up
LED’s and also give power to the battery to charge it
...
It has a speed of 25km/h
...
It main benefit is that it does not require any fuel and is of low cost
...
It is very useful for handicap persons
...
It is
very little maintenance as its batteries only need to be charged which is cheap
...
It cost per
kilometer is 40 paisa
...
For different ranges we can change the varying supply systems
...
The project may be an ultimate destiny
among the present systems

2 LITERATURE REVIEW

Recently the terms e-bike, power bike, "pedelec", pedal-assisted, and powerassisted bicycle were commonly used to refer to e-bikes
...

E-bikes were thought to make up 10 to 20 percent of all two-wheeled vehicles on
the streets of many major cities
...

Now a days in market HERCULES ELECTRIC BICYCLE are available that will
cost up to Rs-20,000/-
...
The Hercules bicycle is run up to very short
interval because the discharge time for the batteries in the cycle is very less

I = Current through the conductor
L = Length of the conductor

Let us consider a single turn coil
...
Due to this movement now the
coil is made to rotate
...
Since the coil is arranged in
the armature when it rotates in emf is induced in the coil and that emf which is induced in
the coil is in opposite to supply emf
...
Hence when motor runs normally the supply emf (V) is equal to B-emf
...

This process that motor converts electrical energy in to mechanical energy where
(Ia x Ia) Ra is the copper loss which is to be neglected
...
A second shaft is connected to these gears
...
The motor will not need to draw
as much current to function and will move more slowly, but will provide greater torque

A special type of gear motor, the servo motor, provides more power in a compact,
precise fashion, and is used when a motor with a rapid, accurate response is needed
...
The best solution motion control and power transmission applications where
compact size, wide operating speed range, ability to adapt to arrange of power sources or
the safety considerations of low volt-age are important

3 Construction of PMDC motor

Permanent magnet DC brushed motors (PMDC motors) consist of permanent
magnets, located in the stator, and windings, located in the rotor
...
Brushes are connected to DC voltage supply across motor terminals
...
The
current flow through the coils creates magnetic poles in the rotor that interact with
permanent magnet poles
...

For this the slipping contacts are segmented

The specific
gravity is a good indication of the state of charge of a battery
...


Chemical Reaction

From the above equation, it is evident that the discharge is carried to the last
point
...
First, lead sulphate occupies a greater volume that lead peroxide and
hence excessive sulphation is liable to setup mechanical stresses in the positive plates,
thereby causing shedding of active material and tracking of the plates
...


Chemical action:
Sulphuric acid is a combination of hydrogen and sulphate ions
...

ELECTRIC BICYCLE
Combining lead on the negative plate with sulphate ions also produces he sulphate
...

As the discharge continues, the sulphate fills the pores of the grids, retarding
circulation of acid in the active material
...
When the combination of weak electrolyte and
sulfating on the plate lowers the output of the battery, charging is necessary
...

...
The
reversed direction of ions flows in the electrolyte result in a reversal of the chemical
reactions

This action re-forms the positive plates
and makes the electrolyte stronger by adding sulphuric acid

in series to get a voltage of 12V and the same 12V battery is connected in series, to get a

Specific gravity:
Measuring the specific gravity of the electrolyte generally checks the state of
discharge for a lead-acid cell

For instance,
concentrated sulfuric acid is 1

Therefore, its specific gravity equals 1

If the battery remains discharge longer, a greater amount of the positive plate will remain
lead sulfate

Batteries that are deeply discharged, and then charged partially on a regular basis can fail
in less than one year

Use a
hydrometer to check the specific gravity of your lead acid batteries

Check the electrolyte level in the wet-cell batteries at the least four
times a year and top each cell of with distilled water

offer good cycle life and capacity, good performance at low temperatures, and work well
at high discharge rates (using the cell capacity in one hour or less)
...
Sealed Ni-Cd batteries require no
maintenance
...

The superior capacity of the Nickel-metal hydride batteries, and more recently their lower
cost, has largely supplanted their use
...

Within the European Union, they can now only be supplied for replacement purposes
although they can be supplied for certain specified types of new equipment such as
medical devices
...


Characteristics
The maximum discharge rate for a Ni–Cd battery varies by size
...

Model-aircraft or -boat builders often take much larger currents of up to a hundred amps
or so from specially constructed Ni–Cd batteries, which are used to drive main motors
...
In this, however, they have been largely superseded by
lithium polymer (Lipo) and lithium iron phosphate (LiFe) batteries, which can provide
even higher energy densities

DYNAMO

9 Dynamo
A Dynamo (from the Greek word dynamism; meaning power), originally another
name for An electrical generator, generally means a generator that produces direct with the
use of A commutator
...
Today, the simpler alternator dominates large scale
power generation, for efficiency, Reliability and cost reasons
...
Also, Converting alternating to direct current
using power rectification devices hollow state or more Recently solid state) is effective and
usually economic
...
A dynamo machine consists of a stationary structure, called the stator, which
provides a constant magnetic field, and a set of rotating windings called the armature which
turn within that field
...
On small machines
the constant magnetic field may be provided by one or more permanent magnets; larger
machines have the constant magnetic field provided by one or more electromagnets, which
are usually called field coil
...
When a
loop of wire rotates in a magnetic field, the potential induced in it reverses with each half

turn, generating an alternating current
...
The few uses for electricity, such as
electroplating, used direct current provided by messy liquid batteries
...
The commutator is essentially a rotary switch
...
The commutator reverses the connection of the windings to the external circuit when
the potential reverses, so instead of alternating current, a pulsing direct current is produced
...

...
The circuit breaker must detect a fault condition; in low-voltage circuit breakers
this is usually done within the breaker enclosure
...
The trip solenoid that releases the latch is usually
energized by a separate battery, although some high-voltage circuit breakers are selfcontained with current transformers, protection relays, and an internal control power
source
...
Small circuit
breakers may be manually operated; larger units have solenoids to trip the mechanism,
and electric motors to restore energy to the springs
...
Contacts are made of copper or copper alloys, silver alloys, and other highly
conductive materials
...
Miniature and molded case circuit
breakers are usually discarded when the contacts have worn, but power circuit breakers
and high-voltage circuit breakers have replaceable contacts
...
This arc must be contained,
cooled, and extinguished in a controlled way, so that the gap between the contacts can
again withstand the voltage in the circuit
...
Different techniques are used
to extinguish the arc including:
• Lengthening / deflection of the arc
• Intensive cooling (in jet chambers)
• Division into partial arcs
• Zero point quenching (Contacts open at the zero current time crossing of the AC
• Waveform, effectively breaking no load current at the time of opening

Low voltage circuit breakers
Low voltage (less than 1000 VAC) types are common in domestic, commercial
and industrial application, and include:

SND COE & RC

27

ELECTRIC BICYCLE
• MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker)—rated current not more than 100 A
...
Thermal or thermal-magnetic operation
...

• MCCB (Molded Case Circuit Breaker)—rated current up to 2500 A
...
Trip current may be adjustable in larger ratings
...


The characteristics of Low Voltage circuit breakers are given by international standards
such as IEC 947
...
Large low-voltage
molded case and power circuit breakers may have electrical motor operators, allowing
them to be tripped (opened) and closed under remote control
...
Low-voltage circuit breakers are
also made for direct-current (DC) applications, for example DC supplied for subway
lines
...
A direct current
circuit breaker will have blow-out coils which generate a magnetic field that rapidly
stretches the arc when interrupting direct current Small circuit breakers are either
installed directly in equipment, or are arranged in a breaker panel
...

The design includes the following components:
Actuator lever - used to manually trip and reset the circuit breaker
...
status of the circuit breaker (On or Off/tripped)
...
This is sometimes
referred to as "free trip" or "positive trip" operation
...

Contacts - Allow current when touching and break the current when moved apart
...

Calibration screw - allows the manufacturer to precisely adjust the trip current of the
device after assembly
...
Certain designs utilize electromagnetic forces in addition to
those of the solenoid
...
As the
current in the solenoid increases beyond the rating of the circuit breaker, the solenoid's
pull releases the latch which then allows the contacts to open by spring action
...
The core is restrained by a spring until the current exceeds the breaker rating
...
The delay
permits brief current surges beyond normal running current for motor starting, energizing
equipment, etc
...
Ambient temperature affects
the time delay but does not affect the current rating of a magnetic breaker
...
The thermal portion of the circuit breaker
provides an "inverse time" response feature which provides faster or slower response for
larger or smaller over currents respectively
...
The batteries are placed on both sides
of center rod
...
The controller
circuit is connected to motor which is placed below it and its accelerator is stretched with a
wire till the handle
...
As the larger sprocket completes one rotation than the smaller will complete four
rotations as the teeth on larger sprocket is 33 and smaller sprocket is 11 which is four times
larger than smaller sprocket
