Abstract/Executive Summary
The rapid increase in energy demand has created worries about supply challenges, depletion of energy resources, and severe environmental effects. This study incorporated Goal 7 of the 2030 UN Agenda for Sustainable Development to achieve clean and affordable energy sources. As a result, this research designed, built, and tested an amalgamated bicycle that can generate voltages from applied pressure on tires using piezoelectric transducers. The main goal of this study is to test if there is a significant difference between the generated energy when an amalgamated bicycle is moving or not and if there is a significant relationship between the applied pressure (weight & speed) and the amount of electricity converted by the amalgamated bicycle with a piezoelectric transducer. The device was then put through several trials. Inferential statistics were used to determine the significant relationships and differences between the study's independent and dependent variables. As a result, it has indicated no significant relationship between the speed and weight to output voltage when the bicycle is moving but has a substantial difference between the moving and the stationary bicycle. Lastly, the device's compressive strength is shown to be at its maximum capacity of 66.7 kg. This research has the potential to improve present alternative energy sources while leaving no carbon imprint.
