EXERCISE BICYCLE CAPABLE OF GENERATING ELECTRICITY WITH THE ROTATION OF A PEDAL, AND AN ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION SYSTEM THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE: An exercise bicycle and an electric power generation system thereof are provided to generate power without the restriction of external environmental factors by using an exercise bicycle and a solar cell.;CONSTITUTION: A pedal is formed in a driving shaft. A wheel is connected to the driving shaft with a chain. A power generator(110) is combined with the wheel. The power generator generates electricity when the wheel is rotated. A grid-connected inverter(120) changes electricity, which is generated from the power generator, into AC power. A plug(130) outputs the AC power to a home wall outlet. A built-in meter measures the amount of power outputted from the plug and the amount of power generated from the power generator. A calculation part calculates a price based on the amount of outputted from the plug.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2011
