PEDAL OPERATED WATER PUMP

Abstract

The Pedal Operated Water Pump is a simple and eco-friendly mechanical system developed to pump water without the use of electricity or fuel. The system utilizes human pedaling effort as the primary source of energy for operating a centrifugal water pump. Rotary motion generated through a bicycle pedal mechanism is transmitted through a belt drive arrangement to the pump shaft, enabling water to be lifted from a lower level to a higher level. The system is economical, easy to maintain, and suitable for rural and remote regions where electrical power is unavailable or unreliable. The developed model demonstrates an effective method of converting human mechanical energy into useful pumping work for small-scale irrigation, gardening, household water supply, and emergency applications.
