Pedal Power Engineering
with Andrew Rasmussen

This course will cover the basic design principles for pedal powered equipment including the following topics:

direct mechanical drive vs electric

flywheel design/benefits

using a charge controller for preservation of battery and safety

generator vs alternator

reducing air resistance and torque resistance

measuring output power

If you have parts that may be used to assemble a bike and want to assemble one during class let me know so I can give you a shopping list.

Basically we will need :

an exercise bike with belt drive friendly wheel (preferably heavy flywheel , without fan)

a dc motor/generator or alternator,

a pulley,

a belt,

wood for base

The class is from noon - 4PM & costs $20

Class size is limited to 20 students.
