ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present invention relates to

5

a tricycle, in a particular a tricycle that comprises a tricycle body that is

connected to the driver seat, front wheel shifter, direct current motor generator,
and three power banks.

10

The tricycle can be driven by pushing/pedaling the pedal of the front wheel
shifter that is connected to both back wheel sprocket and the motor generator,
and the motor is connected to the power banks.

15

The tricycle power generator has the advantages that while the rider is
pushing/pedaling the tricycle it does not only make the tricycle work but it will
also generate electricity that will be stored in the power banks.

TECHNICAL FIELD
5

The present invention relates in general to generating electricity, but more

particularly to a tricycle that can generate and store electricity.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

10

Prior to this project, there are patents that has been approved and has a
similarity in function and processes that uses a motor to generate electrical
charge.

15

An example is the Pedal Generator Electric bicycle, a chainless electric cycle

design that allows a rider/user to pedal a pedal generator to create an electric

transmission energy source that either charges the battery or partially powers a
hub motor, discharges the battery to the hub motor contained within one of the
wheels, allows the user to set a desired level of resistance from the pedal
generator using controls oriented about the handlebars, allows the user to
activate the hub motor using a speed controlling device oriented about the
handlebars, and allows the user to charge the battery by connecting to a
standard 110V/220V AC power supply.
20

A chainless cycle is a cycle where the input power from a rider is not converted
into output power by the rear wheel through a gear and chain system
connecting the pedals to the rear wheel.

25

This project is a power generating tricycle that uses an improvised dc motor to

generate power and the generated power is stored in a power bank, and then
the power bank will be used to charge devices such as cellular phone s, tablets
and even laptops.

30

This project comprises of a tricycle body, front wheel shifter, extra sprocket in
the upper middle of the body that serves as a reel of the improvised dc motor
to generate electric energy, and a power bank where in the generated
electricity will be stored.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This project comprises of a tricycle body, dc generator, power bank, chains,

and a front wheel shifter.

10

This project uses an improvised dc motor found in the upper middle of the
tricycle body to generate power and then stored it in a power bank and allows
the user to charge devices.

15

The reel of the dc generator is three times smaller than the front wheel shifter
and when the user pushes the pedal the reel rotates three times the rotation of
the front wheel shifter causing more energy to be stored.

20

Three power banks are used to store more energy and placed it under the chair
of the tricycle. The power banks are connected to the output of the improvised
dc motor through the use of stranded wires.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a tricycle with the label of the parts that were used in the invention;
5

FIG. 2 is a direct current motor.

FIG. 3 is the bottom view of the tricycle where the power banks are placed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
5

Referring now to the different views of the drawings, wherein like reference
numerals designate the components or elements and active steps throughout the
ensuing enabling description, there is shown the present invention for tricycle
power generator designated as 1.

10

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, the tricycle power generator 1 comprises of:

Front wheel shifter (2) holds the chain for the back wheel sprocket and also
connected to the reel of the dc motor.

15

Power Bank (3) - where the generated electricity is being stored.

Improvised dc motor (1) generates electricity, and is comprises magnets,
armature, commutator, and brushes.

Referring to FIG. 2 the dc motor comprises of:

a. Magnets (4) - motors use magnets to create motion, there are both repelling and
attracting forces from the ends of the magnets, and the two forces work
together to move the motor.
b. Armature (5) - contains the main current-carrying winding. The armature consists
of a coil of copper wire wound around an iron or steel core.
c. Commutator (6) the one that rotates between the magnets and alters the
magnetic field inside to create electrical charge.
d. Brushes (7) - deliver or collect current from a rotating part of a motor. The
brushes should maintain a close contact with rotating part, in order to ensure
sparkles operation without wearing itself too quickly.

20

In operation, the tricycle power generator including a body has a front shifter
that is connected to the back wheel sprocket and to the reel of the motor. A
power bank is placed under the chair in the tricycle and its input is connected to
the output terminals of the dc generator for the power bank to charge when the
motor starts generating energy. When the driver/user starts pedaling the pedal,
the reel of the dc motor starts rotating and generates electricity.

With these features, the tricycle power generator of the present invention
provides more energy that is only generated by a tricycle and is stored
