This paper presents a low speed permanent magnetic based generator which is suitable for supplying
generating power from bicycle motion and application in providing energy for bicycle front and rear lights
or electronics devices.The dynamo have a hub axel, a hub housing rotatable mounted around the hub axel
with bearing, a planetary drive that increases the rotational speed of the permanent magnet, and the
power generating mechanism with coil fitted to hub axel that has connected to the output connector. In
such a hub dynamo, the magnet rotates faster than the bicycle wheel so that power output is high even at
the normal bicycle speeds.
Production of Electrical Energy by Vertical Axis Maglev WindmillPremier Publishers
This paper deals with wind power generation by elimination of gear system. Using magnetic levitation frictional losses will be avoided and power generated will be improved. Comparing with conventional type vertical axis wind turbine is more efficient that will capture the wind in all directions. Due to maglev, it will be able to rotate in minimum speed of 1m/s and produce alternating voltage. By using permanent magnet (Neodymium) repulsion effect replaces the bearings to reduce the frictional losses and produce power more than conventional type with cost effective.
The prototype is an idea which uses the property of an electromagnet by virtue of which it changes the polarity of its poles whenever the direction of current is changed. This variation in polarity is utilized to attract or repel the permanent magnet attached to the piston. The usage of relay and timer will limit the output of the engine. By using an ECU in the engine instead, power can be obtained on each stroke which will result in an increased output.
This article relates to energy engineering and more particularly to the alternative energy technology of getting power from the repulsive/attractive force of permanent magnets with no other input.

Zero point energy conversion for selfsustained generationMocLan2
In this paper zero point energy conversion is proposed for self-sustained generator applications. Our entire
universe balance is based on a magnetic energy lying in a minimum energy point called zero-point. By using an energy
conversion machine magneto-gravitic link can be made zero-point energy by taking kinetic energy form i.e. rotational
motion .Kinetic energy link is constructed using a special permanent magnet arrangement and it is independent of
electricity . It uses perpetual motion and the kinetic energy is later converted by using a special type low speed axial flux
alternator, comprising two rotating discs in-between which the coil is placed from which the power is drawn .

DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF PROTOTYPE OF MAGNETIC ENGINE USING NEODYMIUM IRON B...IAEME Publication
The energy efficiency is the major concern in every engine which made it affordable and fit for commercial exploitation but every engine has difficulties in attaining efficiency level due to
many reasons includes input cost, output power in comparison to input cost, etc. Magnetic engine could resolve the efficiency problem as it harness the gravitational pull in positive manner and due to which can save massive amount of fuel as well as resources.
With the advent of technology and science, researchers have shown interest and developed a new technology
incorporating permanent magnets. This concept is applied in magnetic gearing to achieve low-speed high- torque direct-drive
operation. The speed is altered by the use of gears and gearboxes. The magnetic meshing of gear overcomes the limitations of
mechanical gearing system like vibrations, noise, and friction due to contact. The efficiency of 99% or greater can be achieved
at full load conditions. The magnetic force of attraction aids in the magnetic meshing of the gear teeth. There is no physical
contact of the gear teeth. By the use of such system, the wear and tear of the gears are reduced to a great extent. The heat
generated in the gears while working is almost nil in this method. Unlike mechanical gearing system, the process of
transmitting power is smooth and silent. Magnetic gearing system can be incorporated in automobiles for transmission of
power to achieve higher efficiency. This kind of setup requires very minimal maintenance. Permanent magnets are used to
produce the magnetic field which helps in the transmission of energy without contact. Ferrite magnets and high power rare
earth neodymium magnets are used in making the gears.

Analysis of Permanent Magnets Bearings in Flywheel Rotor DesignsIJERA Editor
This paper discusses analysis of permanent magnet bearing in flywheel rotor designs. This work focuses on
the advantages of using permanent magnets in flywheel rotor design as compared to that of the
convectional mode of levitating the rotor position. The use of permanent magnet in magnetic bearing
design to generate the steady state position of the magnetic field results in less variation of the force
exerted on the rotor when it deviates from the nominal position than when an electrical coil is used for the
same purpose. Theresults of the analysis shows that the magnetic bearing dynamics as well as its load
carryingcapacity improves when the rotor is offset from its central position. The use of permanent magnet
compared to current-carrying coils results in smaller overall size of magnetic bearing leading to a more
compact system design resulting in improved rotordynamic performance.

POWER HARVESTING IN ALL PURPOSE VEHICLE PROJECTBhumil Sarvaiya
In new era of innovation, people are focusing on research and improvement of old techniques on power harvesting. As an engineer to be optimistic in power conservation we thought to use wheels’ kinetic energy of vehicle to generate electric current, that could be store in a DC storage (battery) for further uses.
As no such vehicle uses wheels’ kinetic energy to charge a dc storage but there are other means of charging battery likewise, using pulley-belt drive mechanism connected to shaft run by engine, so that it runs the shaft of motor to generate current.
This design will not use pulley-belt drive mechanism and motor too, which uses much space and reduces power transmission. Our aim is to manufacture the wheel, which itself is capable of generating current when vehicle is in motion by using magnets and coil i.e. wires are coming out of wheels carrying the current to charge the battery, by making an optimum mechanism that could produce high output power.
Modelling and Simulation of Composition and Mechanical Properties of High Ent...msejjournal
Magnesium alloys are high potential materials for application in the aerospace and automotive industries
due to their lightweight properties. They can help to lower dead weight and fuel consumption to contribute
to sustainability and efficiency. It is possible to achieve high specific strength and high stiffness of the
alloys by varying compositions of alloying elements. Applications of magnesium are limited due to its low
strength and relatively low stiffness. This research focuses on a recipe of multi component alloys of
magnesium with varied percentages of Mg, Al, Cu, Mn and Zn obtained from literature and optimizes the
percentage compositions to obtain for high specific strength and specific stiffness. Relationships among
percentage constituents of the alloy components are examined in Matlab R2022b using multiple linear
regression. Optimization is achieved using genetic algorithm to determine the specific strengths and
stiffness. The resulting optimal alloy component percentages by weight are used for microstructure
simulation of thermodynamic properties, diffusion and phase transformations of proposed alloy is done in
MatCalc software version 6.04. Results show potential for improved mechanical properties resulting from
disordered structure in the high entropy magnesium alloy. Future research should focus on production and
characterization of the proposed alloy.
Thermal and Metrological Studies on YTTRIA Stabilized Zirconia Thermal Barrie...msejjournal
Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs), routinely prepared from Ceramic based compositions (typically
8%Y2O3-ZrO2or 8YSZ) are being engineered to protect the metallic components from degradation in
applications like gas turbines, jet and automotive engines. With a goal of finding improved TBC materials
a wide variety of ceramics are being researched worldwide. Before physically preparing the TBCs of
uncommon compositions in the laboratory, their suitability to perform can be predicted. Limited
accessibility to detailed and realistic information on the influence of newer compositions (other than 8YSZ)
on TBCs warrants methods to obtain this information.
In this paper, 8YSZ TBCs coated onto aluminium substratesare studied for thermal fatigue, thermal barrier
and materials characteristics to determine the reliability of the coating configuration to withstand the
harshness of test conditions under the framework of experiments. Thereafter, the results have been used to
corroboratethe developed simulation model. Results obtained via thermal tests confirm the suitability of the
model and we can predict the thermal barrier effects of TBCs when prepared from materials other than
YSZ.

New Experiment System for the Interaction Between Soft Rock and Water : A Cas...msejjournal
The strength of rock strongly depends on the water content especially when the rocks contain clay
materials. The interaction between soft rock and water always threaten the soft rock engineering projects.
For this problem, new sets of laboratory experiment systems are developed to simulate the interaction
between soft rock and water or vapor. In this paper, the principles of experiment systems are introduced
with particular reference to the application on soft rock in Mogao Grottoes, one of the world famous
ancient sites in China. Two kinds of rock samples, the sandstone and muddy sandstone, are obtained by insitu sampling system. Then the laboratory experiments are performed under different environment
conditions. By the specific boundary conditions design, the physical-chemical effect and mechanic effect on
water absorption of rock samples are separated for further mechanism study by the experiment system, and
the different hydrological actions of water and vapor under variable experiment environment are obtained.
The interaction mechanism is discussed with assistant methods, such as SEM (Scanning Electron
Microscope), mercury injection test, X-ray diffraction analysis and etc. With the relation between water
content and soft rock strength, the study may provide guidance and basis for the soft rock engineering in
the future.

Modeling, Analyzing and Safety Aspects of Torsion and Noise Effects on Round ...msejjournal
Each material has its own effect and behavior on external impacts like heat, force, tension, compression,
torsion etc. It is important to study and analyze these behaviors before selecting a material for an
engineering application in the design aspects itself. If predicted values analyzed by both mathematical and
software are available it is easy to get the reliable details in the pre design itself. By this one can ensure the
safety of the component and the system also. In this investigation, the effects of torsional loads on mild steel
round shafts with various diameters and lengths have been analyzed. The additional effects like angle of
rotation, rpm and duration also considered to find the optimum predicted value. The data observed by
various experiments are analyzed by design of experiments especially by response surface methodology.
Minitab software is used for canalization. The data are tabulated and kept for future reference. Noise effect
due to the gradual torsional load performed in the gear box and other rotating components is also studied
for healthy working environment. The nature and characteristics of material also be explained by this noise
analysis.

RESULTS OF FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS FOR INTERLAMINAR FRACTURE REINFORCED THERM...msejjournal
The double cantilever beam (DCB) is widely used for fracture toughness testing and it has become popular
for opening-mode (mode I) delamination testing of laminated composites. Delamination is a crack that
forms between the adjacent plies of a composite laminate at the brittle polymer resin. This study was
conducted to emphasize the need for a better understanding of the DCB specimen of different fabric
reinforced systems (carbon fibers) with a thermoplastic matrix (EP, PEI), by using the extended finite
element method (X-FEM). It is well known that in fabric reinforced composites fracture mechanisms
include microcracking in front of the crack tip, fiber bridging and multiple cracking, and both contribute
considerably to the high interlaminar fracture toughness measured. That means, the interlaminar fracture
toughness of a composite is not controlled by a single material parameter, but is a result of a complex
interaction of resin, fiber and interface properties.

Flammability Characteristics of Chemical Treated Woven Hemp Fabricmsejjournal
Woven hemp fabric was treated with sodium hydroxide, commercial flame retardant chemical, and
combination of both to increase its fire-retardant properties. Treatments of fire-retardant changed the
properties of woven hemp fabric such as increased its fabric shrinkage and density of fibres which ranges
from 0.67 to 5% and 1.43 to 1.53 g/cm3
respectively. After the treatment, the fire retardancy of the fabric
increased tremendously which was observed by the burning, thermogravimetry and limiting oxygen index
tests. Some of the samples were not burnt when exposed to flame source and the burning rate needed to be
measured under exaggeration of flame at longer time. The limiting oxygen index value increased from 18.6
to 51 after the treatments which explained the scenario happened in the burning tests. Nevertheless, its
mechanical properties decreased slightly that ranges from 18 to 32% and 23 to 39% for warp and weft
respectively compared to untreated fibre.

It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

Abstract:
This paper presents a low speed permanent magnetic based generator which is suitable for supplying
generating power from bicycle motion and application in providing energy for bicycle front and rear lights
or electronics devices.The dynamo have a hub axel, a hub housing rotatable mounted around the hub axel
with bearing, a planetary drive that increases the rotational speed of the permanent magnet, and the
power generating mechanism with coil fitted to hub axel that has connected to the output connector. In
such a hub dynamo, the magnet rotates faster than the bicycle wheel so that power output is high even at
the normal bicycle speeds.
Keywords:
Pedal power, Hub-dynamo, planetary drive, Creo 2.0
1. INTRODUCTION:
The hub generator have been popular since the 1950s as bottle dynamo and stationary bicycle
dynamo. Standard bottle generators running on the tire tread or rim suffer from frictional losses at
the wheel/generator interface that also increases the heat at tire/generator interface. This type of
generators are unreliable in wet weather (Khandewal et al, 2014). Bicycle hub generator offers a
simple and reliable way to generate power for bicycle front and rear lights. But only in recent
years have efficient generator hubs become available that generate about 2.4W power and
moderate bicycle speed (N Brito et al, 2006). The device described in this paper integrates power
higher than these dynamo and allowing the generation of environment-friendly electric power
while keeping fit by pedaling. This contemplates both personal health and environmental issues
(M N haji et al, 2010). With increasing concern about global warming, greenhouse gas emission
& rising fuel prices, non-motorized modals, such as bicycle aregaining importance as viable
mode in urban transportation worldwide (Majumdar et al, 2014).A dynamo is coupled to bicycle.
This arrangement enables the lighting of front, rear light of bicycle and charging of mobile phone,
if a cyclist pedals fast enough. The device is very suitable for the village and those areas where
electricity is not available. Moreover, it can be a completely autonomous energy source without
the need for maintenance. Taking in to account the available volume inside a bicycle hub and that
the rotation due to bicycle movement are possibly the best energy source in this case, a multi
polar magnet and armature was considered as the best way to harvest energy to power the bicycle
electronic devices. In the last decade much research has been done in order to develop devices
that harvest energy from applications environmental and it into electrical energy (A R mech. et al,
2012). This work is directed to bicycles and, more particularly, to the multi-pole dynamo having a
stack that is formed by plate-shaped members. The stack of multi-pole dynamo is formed using
pressed electrical steel sheet (Takahiro Endo et al, 2003). A dynamo has a multi stack armature
with coil fixed to a hub axel and a magnet casing that can rotate relatively higher speed than the

bicycle wheel speed. The casing has transfer power by planetary drive to magnet holder. The
armature stack that houses the coil comprises multiple laminated thin plate-shaped members to
prevent the generation of eddy currents.
2. Design Concept and Principle of Operation
2.1 Design Concept of hub-dynamo:
Figure 1 illustrates the design scheme of the hub-dynamo proposed in this study. The precise 3D
modal of hub dynamo was prepared by Creo 2.0 software as per Indian bicycle standards. A hub-
dynamo is mounted to distal ends of right and left forks of a front wheel of a bicycle. A hub
dynamo comprises a hub shaft structured to be mounted at the bottom end of front fork, a hub
shell structured to rotate around hub shaft, a rotating member in the form of a driven body
disposed radially inwardly of hub shell and structured to rotate around hub shaft, a planetary gear
transmission that transmits rotation of hub shell to driven body. A power generating mechanism
is disposed between driven body and hub shaft.Both end of the hub shaft are fixed to front fork. A
portion of large diameter portion forms a sun gear of planetary gear transmission. Hub shell is a
substantially cylindrical member formed in two pieces, and it is rotatable supported on hub shaft
at both ends by bearing assemblies Casing has a pair of hub flanges, and multiple mounting holes
on the flanges for mounting the ends of the wheel spokes are formed at equal intervals along the
circumferences of the respective hub flanges.
Figure. 1 Exploded view of Hub dynamo
Planetary gear transmission includes sun gear formed on hub shaft, ring gear formed on the inner
peripheral surface of hub side cover, a planet gear carrier stationary supported by large-diameter
portion of hub shaft, and a plurality of (e.g., three) planet gear supported by planet gear carrier.
Planet gear carrier is very stable during operation and does not tilt. Planetary gear transmission
communicates increased rotation of hub shell to driven body. The rotation of sun gear of
planetary gear transmission can be expressed by the following expression:
Ns= (Zr/Zs) x Nr
Where Nr and Zr is the rotation and number of teeth on ring gear and Ns and Zs is the rotation
number of teeth on sun gear. When the number of teeth Zs of sun gear is set at 32T, and the
number of teeth Zr of ring gear is set at 66T, then
3. Advances in Materials Science and Engineering: An International Journal (MSEJ), Vol. 2, No. 3, September 2015

Ns= (66/32) x Nr = 2.0625 Nr
As noted previously, power generating mechanism is disposed between driven body and hub shaft
for generating power in response to relative rotation between driven body and hub shaft. Power
generating mechanism comprises a magnet and a fixed unit, wherein magnet is fitted to the inner
peripheral surface of driven body for rotation there with, and fixed unit is fixed to hub shaft. In
this design, a ring-shaped magnet comprises 13 set of alternating N-poles and S-poles spaced
apart in the circumferential direction of driven body. The interior fixed armature has a ring-
shaped coil and a stack assembly that is disposed such that it surrounds the coil. The stack
assembly and coil are secured to the hub shaft such that they are sandwiched by a pair of nuts and
are fastened to screw members formed on the outer circumferential surface of the hub shaft. A
cord passing groove is formed on the outer peripheral surface of hub shaft to accommodate
connecting cord that is connected to coil and communicates the generated power to an output
connector mounted to hub shaft outside of hub shell. Electric wiring communicates the generated
power from connector to switching unit.
The complete specification of the generator is given in Table 1.

2.2 Principal Operation of Hub dynamo:
When the front wheel, i.e. the hub casing, rotates relative to the hub axel as the bicycle travels
forward, the planetary drive rotates the permanent multi pole magnet around the coil. When the
vertical outer portions of the plate shaped pieces forming the first stack arm receive N-pole
magnetic flux from the multi pole permanent magnet, then the radially outer portion of the plate-
shaped pieces forming the second stack receive S-pole magnetic flux. Conversely, when the
radially outer portion of the plate-shaped pieces forming the stack receive S-pole magnetic flux
from the permanent magnet, then the radially outer portion of the plate-shaped pieces forming the
second stack receive N-pole magnetic flux.
By virtue of the rotation of the permanent magnet around the radially outer portions of the plate-
shaped pieces forming the first and second stack the hub dynamo repeated alternates between a
first state in which the first stack comprise the N-pole and the second stack comprise the S-pole.
As a result, alternating magnetic flux occurs in the radially inner portion of the magnetically
linked stack of plate-shaped pieces. The alternating magnetic flux produces inside the coil and
current flow through the coil. The generated power transfer by the wire to the connector and
connector connect the all electrical devices of the bicycle.
3. Experiment results and discussion:
The apparatus mounts the hub shell in a fork and turns it by a dc motor speed is measured in rpm
by a digital meter. As per the standard JIS.c.9502, the electrical output is monitored with 12 ohm
and 15 ohm resistances, science that’s how it’s always been done, as bulbs are also resistors.
Output of the hub dynamo is measured by a multimeter with open circuit, 12 ohm and 15 ohm
resistances.

Figure.4 Voltage output over Bicycle speed according to test and calculation
Figure.5 Voltage output over Bicycle speed according to test and calculation
Figure 4 & 5 depicts the calculated and measured voltage output versus bicycle speed for the
biologic hub dynamo and geared hub dynamo. In open circuit voltage measured voltage is
without any resistance and also measured voltage at 12 and 15 ohm resistances with geared and
non-geared hub dynamo. It has seen that the voltage output of geared hub dynamo generate
sufficient voltage for lightening the bicycle at normal speed (8-12km/h). The corresponding
dynamo output power is depicted in figure 6 & 7. The power output over the bicycle speed is
calculated by the measured voltage. The hub dynamo rotation also depend upon the wheel
diameter, if the wheel diameter is less it takes more turn for a specific speed then the large
diameter bicycle wheel. It can be seen, that planetary gear transmission should be preferred for

bicycle dynamo. The prototype generators generated 2.4-3W power at the normal bicycle speed.
These results indicates that the generated power by the bicycle hub generator is sufficient amount
for lightening 2 to 3 watts load from the bicycle motion.
