Kinematics Application: As a New Mechanical Cycle

Abstract

The objective of the study is to make the cycle into an efficient vehicle and as comfortable like a car. The demerits of today’s era cycle are that it cannot move in the reverse direction by simply paddling and it also does not protect us from rain and sunlight during the extreme condition. So the objective is to make such type of vehicle that is similar to the car but its working principle will be solely based on the gear system without using any heat engine. The proposed model is named as “mechanical cycle”. It consists of a set of gear of different diameters connected to each other in a parallel way. During forward motion, one freewheel works and the other is free with respect to the first one, whereas during the backward motion the later one will work and the former one is free with respect to the later one. In this way, we can control both forward and backward motions in this “mechanical cycle” which is not possible in the simple cycle. Also, the shed protects us from rain and sunlight and it also gives comfort. The cost-effectiveness of this cycle makes it affordable to common people, and its speed is much more than that of simple cycle.
