| dc.description.abstract | This project explores using bicycle-powered mechanical energy to pump water, providing a
sustainable alternative to electric or fuel-based systems. In rural or off-grid areas where
energy access is limited or expensive, this method offers a cost-effective solution. By
coupling a bicycle to a water pump, pedaling motion is converted into kinetic energy to drive
the pump. This eliminates reliance on external power sources and reduces operational costs.
The system is ideal for small-scale agricultural or household use, especially in communities
with limited electricity access. It also reduces manual labor needed for water collection. The
approach supports environmental sustainability by utilizing renewable human energy. While
not a replacement for large-scale systems, it offers a practical, low-maintenance solution for
water pumping in underserved areas. | en_US |
