Power Generator with Health Monitoring IoT Framework

Abstract

Reducing the load on conventional sources of energy is the need of the hour. The pandemic has forced people to stay indoors and thus increased the dependence on conventional sources to meet the energy needs. Pedaling is an effective alternative to generate usable energy. It has multiple benefits - like providing a means of exercising to the user and generating DC energy through pedaling setup which can be converted into AC as per the requirement. Proposed system is beneficial for individuals who find little to no time to exercise and can provide them an interesting way to exercise and recharge their electronic appliances using the charging setup on-board. A health monitoring framework helps in keeping track of the energy expended by the person on the system and can act as a dataset for further research. Using various sensors, the parameters like O2 level, heart rate, calories burnt can be calculated and displayed on the on-board display or the cloud platform. The system is aimed to be deployed in rural areas where electricity is scarce which can power basic electric appliances and thus play a crucial role in energizing villages.
