DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A novel power scrambler FOR IMPROVING
FUEL EFFICIENCY.
Abstract
To meet the challenges
of constantly rising fuel supplies, a new power scrambler with high efficiency
is designed by increasing the kilometre range. In all kind of bikes, mechanical
energy is produced in the front wheel during roving. In this paper, a technique
is proposed to utilize the mechanical energy by using an alternator for
conversion. Alternator is placed in the front wheel of power scrambler which
converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. Various power
electronics circuits are intended, to utilize the produced energy for charging
the battery in the power scrambler. This helps in increase the efficiency of
the power scrambler. For instance if 10:1:5 is the kilometre ratio of the
electric bike, with the use of the alternator, the kilometre will be decreased
by the ratio 10:1. But subsequent to its connection to the charging system, the
kilometre is increased by the ratio 10:5. The main objective of this paper is
to increase the usage of the electric bike, since this will reduce the usage of
the extinct fuels.
