Design and fabrication of power generating treadmill

This paper aims to take advantage of treadmill’s wasted electrical energy during a person’s workout and utilize the energy for charging electrical appliances. The energy expended on a treadmill during the exercise is all wasted. In order to take advantage of the wasted energy, it could be harnessed...

description This paper aims to take advantage of treadmill’s wasted electrical energy during a person’s workout and utilize the energy for charging electrical appliances. The energy expended on a treadmill during the exercise is all wasted. In order to take advantage of the wasted energy, it could be harnessed by a power generator and stored in a battery bank. The electrical energy generated during the exercise on the treadmill could be utilized to power electronic devices and appliances. The attached power generation machine will not interrupt a person’s workout flow and it can be attached to any treadmill due to its friendly design. Wasted energy is harnessed in this research by a non-traditional manner of using shaft and wheel method. A multi-meter is used to measure the voltage and current and power is then calculated from the readings recorded. Tests have shown that the prototype machine is able to fully charge a 3096 mAh smartphone in 135 minutes and the phone could be fully charged for 2 charging cycles. This power generating machine is showing a good implementation for the Sustainable development Goals (SDG’s).
