Background
This is an appropriate technology project for Engineering 305 in Spring Semester 2015. This project's purpose is to design and build a bicycle powered electricity generator to be used for power tools and other appliances at CCAT at Humboldt State University in Arcata, California. The students involved are Stephanie Becerra, Alexander Takahashi, Nathan Braun. The project is set to be completed by May 2015.
Problem statement
The objective of this project is to develop a way to power tools by using electricity that is generated by off-grid bicycle power. By using off-grid energy, this will be a sustainable way to generate electricity and help CCAT move towards reaching Net Zero.
