Abstract:
The project aims to design and build a device “Called CharGO” that can be connected to
bicycles and electrical bicycle, so that it is able to generate energy through the movement of the
bike. CharGO uses the movement of the bike and convert the kinetic energy to electric energy, the
resulting energy of the generator is saved in a lithium-ion battery. When installing the device on
an electric bike, the system charges the bike battery from the battery in the device, and also can
benefit the driver from this battery in charging phones and laptops etc.
The CharGO system consists of two modes: manual and automatic. The manual mode is
activated by the driver when he wants to practice sport by moving the pedals, where he can choose
the charging rate as he wants. The automatic mode is activated when the bicycle speed is suitable
in a way that increases the speed of charging. The aim of this project is to build and implement
first charging intelligent system at bicycle at Palestine Polytechnic University.
