ABSTRACT

The objective of this project was to design, fabricate and experimentally investigate the

working of Pedal and Compressed Air Powered Centrifugal Pump which used in small

drinking water supply and garden irrigation. Pedal And Compressed Air Powered

Centrifugal Pump consists of a centrifugal pump operated by pedal power. The centrifugal

pump is positioned on its stand in such a way that driven shaft of the centrifugal pump is

butted to the bicycle wheel. By pedaling the bicycle, the bicycle wheel rotates, thereby

rotating the centrifugal pump which in turns discharges water from the sump. Pedal

And Compressed Air Powered Centrifugal Pump provides drinking water and irrigation in

remote areas where electricity is not available. Pedal And Compressed Air Powered

Centrifugal Pump is not only free from pollution but also provide healthy exercise. Pedal

And Compressed Air Powered Centrifugal Pump reduces the rising energy costs. Pedal

And Compressed Air Powered Centrifugal Pump is designed as a portable one which can

be used for irrigation in various places. The experimental investigation was executed and

performance of the Pedal And Compressed Air Powered Centrifugal Pump was carried out at

different rpm. The results indicate that the Pedal and Compressed Air Powered Centrifugal

Pump had given a considerable amount of discharge and head. The PPWP requires only

manual power thereby reducing the utility bill considerably. Experimental result shows that

discharge of about 0.00025m3/sec can be obtained for around 140rpm.

A person can generate four times more (1/4 horse power (hp)) by pedaling than by hand

cranking. At the rate of 1/4hp, continuous pedaling can be done for only short periods, about

10 minutes. However, pedaling at half this power (1/8 hp) can be sustained for around 60

minutes.

The main use of pedal power today is still for bicycling at least in the high-power range (75

watts and above of mechanical power). In the lower-power range there are a number of use of

pedal power for agriculture, construction, water pumping, and electrical generation that seem

to be potentially advantages, at least when electrical or internal-combustion engine power is

unavailable or very expensive.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Pedal power generation is the method of generating electrical power from mechanical

pedaling. It is a eco-friendly activity that causes no harm to the environment. This

technique, which has been influenced by bicycle pedaling, is the most resilient and robust

source of energy through all ages. With the emergence of modern electric powered

technologies, the use of pedal power has been sidelined and very rarely used to generate

electric power. With an efficiency of 97%, bicycle technology is nearly perfect. There are

a few inventors in India who have been innovating to utilize this power to substitute the

requirement of electric power for many other human activities.

By using electric operated Centrifugal pumps we can pump the water at a sub

class of dynamic Axis symmetric work absorbing machinery. Electrical operated

Centrifugal pumps are used to convert rotational kinetic energy to the Hydrodynamic

energy of the liquid flow. The rotational energy comes from electric device like motor.

The fluid enters the pump impeller along to the rotating axis and is accelerated by the

impeller, flowing radials in chamber outward into volute chamber, from where it exits.

Common uses include petroleum, water bodies, and petrochemical pumping. The function

of the centrifugal pump is converting potential energy of water pressure into mechanical

rotational energy.

The cycle operated mechanism consists of single centrifugal pump which is fixed

on the rear wheel bicycle. Paddling for few minute to pump 30-40 liters of water to a

height of 30 feet. Our project helpful for rural areas. Which are facing electric problem? It

can be used mainly for water lifting from wells and other water bodies. By cycle operated

centrifugal water pump which is run by rotating the pedal of a cycle. The system activated

a bicycle, rim, impeller, pulley and inlet and delivery pipes. Centrifugal pump is

mounted on Rear wheel of cycle which is operated due to the rotation of wheel which

creates the vacuumed in pump.

This research is useful for lifting water from different kinds of water bodies like

river, ponds, wells etc. by using a paddling We drive a bicycle, the rear wheel of the

bicycle rotates at particular rpm using paddle. And this wheel rotates the impellers of the

centrifugal pump by sliding action between wheel and pulley but the rpm of the wheel is

very low so we can’t get require head and power effort on the paddling is low so for



generating high speed in less power we can use the pulley which is mounted on the shaft

of the pump.

A centrifugal pump is one of the simplest equipment in any process of water lifting

plant. It convert energy of a prime mover (an electric motor or turbine) first into velocity

or kinetic energy and then into pressure energy of a fluid that is being pumped. The

energy changes occur by two main parts of the centrifugal pump, the diffuser and the

impeller. The impeller is the rotating part of mechanism that converts rotating energy into

the kinetic energy and the diffuser is the stationary part that converts the kinetic energy

into pressure energy.

1.1 COMPRESSED AIR POWER

The normal state of air, barometric, is called atmospheric pressure. When air is

compressed, it is under pressure greater than that of the atmosphere and it

characteristically attempts to return to its normal state. Since energy is required to

compress the air, that energy is released as the air expands and returns to atmospheric

pressure. Our ancestors knew that compressed air could be used for power when they

discovered that internal energy stored in compressed air is directly convertible to work.

Air compressors were designed to compress air to higher pressures and harness that

energy. Unlike other sources of power, no conversion from another form of energy such

as heat is involved at the point of application. Compressed air, or pneumatic devices are

therefore characterized by a high power-to-weight or power-to-volume ratio. Not as fast

as electricity, nor as slow as hydraulics, compressed air finds a broad field of applications

for which its response and speed make it ideally suited. Where there is an overlap, the

choice often depends on cost and efficiency, and air is likely to hold the advantage.

Compressed air produces smooth translation with more uniform force, unlike equipment

that involves translatory forces in a variable force field.

1.1.1 Reciprocating Single Acting Compressor

Reciprocating single acting compressors are generally of one-stage or two-stage

design. Compressors can be of a lubricated, non-lubricated or oil-less design. In the

single-stage compressor, air is drawn in from the atmosphere and compressed to final

pressure in a single stroke. The single-stage reciprocating compressor is illustrated in



Figure 1. Single-stage compressors are generally used for pressures of70 psi (pounds per

square inch) to 135 psi.

Fig. 1a Reciprocating Single Acting (Twin Cylinder) Air Compressor



Air Compressor Head



1.1.2 Pneumatic Motor

Air motors provide a continuous source of rotary power through a system

involving compressed air. Because they provide a slew of advantages over electric

motors, they are commonly used in a number of both high- and low-power applications.

According to Atlas Copco, a Swedish industrial company, the toughness and versatility of

an air motor make it an ideal power source for industrial applications.

A number of cylinders and pistons, or sliding pieces, make up piston motors. The

cylinders house pistons arranged in either an axial or radial fashion. Air moves into the

cylinder containing the pistons, and pressure acts on the pistons, causing them to slide

outward. This force makes the cylinder rotate, which creates the torque that turns the

motor.



1.2 OBJECTIVES

To design and development of the working of pedal and compressed air powered

centrifugal pump. At primarily we have design all necessary components like

driving mechanism (air compressor and bicycle driven mechanism), stand for

centrifugal pump etc as per requirement. This can be design like portable one.

electricity that can coupled with pump and then pumping of water will be takes

place. The eliminating electricity and give rotation to pump by human operated

pedal then pumping of water will be takes place.

pressure in the tube and this vacuum created draws water from the sump into the pump

while rollers push the water through to the filter where adsorption takes place to purify

the water. The design analysis shows that one revolution of the pedal gives 1.1

litres of water. This design will reduce the labour, cost and weariness caused by

transporting and sanitizing drinkable water for use in the homes of Ghanaian villages.

The first step of making “Pedal and Compressed Air Powered Centrifugal Pump”

is the preparation of the stand. GI square pipes are made into sufficient pieces and

are welded together to get the stand.

The stand is then connected with the back wheel of the bicycle.

By considering the wheel and rotor shaft space the centrifugal pump is connected

with the stand by using the nut and bolts.

The suction and delivery pipes are then connected to the suction and delivery

ports respectively manual priming of the centrifugal pump is done next.

By pedaling the Rpm of the rotor shaft is measured using tachometer. The flow rate of

water is measured by using measuring tank and stop watch.

Pedal And Compressed Air Powered Centrifugal Pump is an eco-friendly water

pump. A water system includes a Centrifugal pump operated by pedal power. The pump

stand includes a housing in which a foot pedal and a drive shaft rotate. It works on the

principle of compression and sudden release of a tube by creating negative pressure in

the tube and this vacuum created in pump draws water from the sump. The this will

works on mechanical energy without electricity. Standard bicycle gearing components

can be assembled with a flexible coupling to create an inexpensive human powered

flywheel power unit. The centrifugal pump is positioned on its stand in such way that

driven shaft of the centrifugal pump is butted to the bicycle rear wheel. As the user

operating the pedal, the compressor will suck air from atmosphere and stored in tank that

air will used to run pneumatic motor ,the motor will coupled with rear will tire. The rear

wheel coupled with pump shaft by friction roller. By operating pedal and compressed air

gives maximum rotation of by that rotation pump will suck the water from the sump.

Useful for pumping water from rivers, ponds, wells and similar water sources. The

farmers can use this to pump water for irrigation in small farmland, garden irrigation and

to fill overhead tanks for domestic purpose. Most blenders use between 600-1500 watts

of energy, which clearly shows that besides burning calories, pedal power can

significantly contribute to reducing energy bills. This can be eliminating by using pedal

power.



CHAPTER 5

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

5.1 PUMP SELECTION

The most suitable type of pump for this application was found to be a

centrifugal pump. Its compact size, simplicity of design, relatively low cost, light weight

and widespread availability of pumps and spare parts make it ideal for use in this project.

Centrifugal pumps are a well established technology and consequently their performance

is well understood. The performance of a centrifugal pump is governed by the impeller

diameter, rotational speed, input power and the output piping system. The pump affinity

laws give the relationship between head, flow rate, input power, rotational speed and

impeller diameter for centrifugal pumps.

5.3 MATCHING HUMAN CAPABILITY TO PUMP PERFORMANCE

Electrically powered pump heads are designed to work optimally at the specific

input power that is normally provided by the pump’s electric motor. It is therefore

important to find a pump with a rated electrical power that matches as closely as possible

with the power that a person can realistically generate on a bicycle. Figure 4.2 overleaf

shows how the power generated by people of varying fitness levels drops as the duration

of exercise increases. It is estimated that the Bicibomba Móvil will be used for around

20-30 minutes for each pumping session. Reading from Figure 4.2, healthy men can

expect to generate around 250 Watts when peddling for this period of time. The design

specification states that the Bicibomba Móvil should be able to be used by men, women

and children of varying sizes and fitness levels.

6.3 SUPPORTING CALCULATION

6.3.1 Axle Grip Deflection Analysis

Aim

To calculate the maximum deflection of the axle grips.

Assumptions

The supporting frame provides a rigid support for the axle grip tightener.

The deflection within the axle grip itself is negligible.

The diameter of the thread bar can be approximated to its pitch diameter, i.e. M16

thread→14.7mm.

The weight of the rider and bicycle is evenly distributed between the left and

right axle grips

Method

The point load, W, represents the weight of the peddler and the bicycle. In the

worst case scenario, the weight of the heaviest peddler, mpg, on the heaviest bicycle,

mbg will be entirely over the rear wheels. The weight, g(mb+mp), has been assumed to

be evenly distributed over the two axle grips, meaning that a force of ½g(mb+mp) is

exerted on each one. However, due to the effect of a suddenly applied loading occurring



as the rider mounts the bicycle, the loading force should be doubled[8]. Therefore:

W=g(mb+mp)=9.81m/s2*(20kg+100kg)=1177.2N

The moment, M, exerted by the force, W, acting at a distance, x, from the free end of the

axle grip tightener has magnitude: M=WX=1177.2N*97*10-3m=114.2Nm

The maximum deflections, δmax, of fixed end cantilever beams bent about principal axes

with point loads, W, and moments, M, applied at the free end are as follows:



The axle grip tighteneris manufactured from mild steel. Which has a Young’s Modulus.

E of 207 GPa. It has circular cross section of radius r of 7.5 mm.

Moment of Inertia:

I = 𝜋d4

64 =

𝜋×(2×7.35×10−3)4

64 = 2.292×10

-9 m

Therefore, the deflection of the free end of the axle grips is given by the following

formula:

δaxlegrip= 𝑀𝐿2

2𝐸𝐼+

𝑊𝐿3

3𝐸𝐼=

114.2×(80×10−3)2

2×207×109×2.292×10−9 +1177 .2×(80×10−3)3

3×207×109×2.292×10−9

= 1.194×10-3

m ≈ 1 mm.

Conclusion

The deflection of the axle grips is just over 1mm.



6.3.2 Bearing Fatigue Analysis

Aim

To establish whether the bearings are able to withstand the increased loading

associated with converting the pump to bicycle power.

Assumptions

The force of the water in the pump head is evenly distributed across the impeller.

The self weight of the shaft, bearings and armature is negligible in comparison

with the contact force between the armature/driving roller and the bicycle tire.

The contact force between the bicycle tyre and the armature/driving roller does

not exceed 100N.

The axial force exerted on the impeller by the thrust washer does not exceed 20N.

The axial loading from the thrust washer is taken entirely by Bearing B

Method

The below figure shows the dimensions of the shaft assembly, with specific

reference to the locations of Bearings A and B.

Figure 6c Fully dimensioned CAD drawing of the impeller, shaft, bearings and

armature



Figure 6d CAD illustration of the shaft assembly showing the relevant radial and axial

forces

Y

Free body diagram of the shaft.

The reactions at the bearings are calculated using static force and moment balances:

ΣFV : Fr = RA + RB

Σ𝑀𝐵 = 𝑅𝐴 58 + 63 − 𝐹𝑟 × 63 = 0

Fr = 100 N

RA = 52.07 N, RB = 47.93 N.

The basic radial dynamic load rating, Cr, is the catalogue rating load that will give a life

of 1 million revolutions of the inner race and is given for the bearings shown in Figure



6.32a and 6.3.2b. Using the following equation, the expected life, L (millions of

revolutions) of the bearing can be calculated.

L = 𝐶𝑟

𝑅 𝑎

Where R is the radial loading at the bearing and for ball bearings, a = 3.

Bearing A

Cr = 6950 N, RA = 52.07 N L = 2377889.563 million Revolutions

Applied loading is so far below the bearing rated loading that bearing A will have virtualy

infinte life.

Bearing B

For the case of combine radial and thrust loading, the American Bearing Manufacturers

Association(ABMA) recommended using an equivalent radial force, Req,that would cause

the same amount of wear as both load combine the equivalent radial force can be found

using the following equation.

Req = XVR +YFa

Where V is the rotation factor and is equal to 1 for bearing with rotating inner ring. The

radial factor X and thrust factor Y are determined from the ratio of the axial force Fa to

the basic static load rating C0. The figure 5.32b shows that for bearing B, C0 = 4150 N.

Consequently Fa/C0 = 20/4150 =0.00482. For single row bearings, this gives

corresponding X and Y values of .56 and 2.86 respectively. Using these value, Req can

now be calculated,

Req = 0.56 × 1 × 52.07 + 2.86 × 20 = 86.35 𝑁

The equivalent radial force can now be used to calculate the life of bearing B.

Cr = 9650 N, Req = 86.35 N L = 𝐶𝑟

𝑅𝑒𝑞 𝑎

= 9650

86.35

3= 1395709 million revolutions.

Again the loading on the bearing B is so far below its rated capacity that the bearing will

have virtualy infinte life.

Conclusion

Both bearing can easily take the increased loading associated with converting the pump to

the bicycle power.
