Análisis de la propuesta de desarrollo de una bicicleta híbrida autorecargable a partir del pedaleo

Abstract

Currently, society along with its economic models has been susceptible to all the inclemencies of climate change, thus generating an increase in environmental awareness at a global level. This increase in awareness in society has made it possible to identify certain sources of pollution, misuse of resources or overexploitation of these, revealing the limitation of many of these resources. This is how non-renewable energy sources have been put in society's sights, knowing that in the not too distant future these sources will end up being exhausted. This problem of the limitation of some of the most used energy resources has put the world's societies in check, taking them out of their technological comfort zone, leading them to rethink the ways in which energy is generated. This technological change that progressively permeates the entire society has caused clean energies to come to light to begin to provide a solution to the generation of energy not from non-renewable sources. Several of these clean energy ideas have revolved around the sector of mobility, where electric cars, electric motorcycles and other vehicles with this principle have had great participation and excellent reception by society. In addition to this, part of the population has chosen to change the way they move around, leaning towards increasingly ecological and healthy options such as the bicycle, making this vehicle the way to contribute to the environment while exercising the body and saving money. This is where the proposal to be analyzed in this monograph is born: a self-recharging hybrid bicycle, which will be recharged through pedaling power and speed multipliers. In this document, the state of the art for the development of the bicycle will be established, subsequently, the optimal characteristics for the development of the idea will be defined. At the same time, the technological maturity level (TRL) at which the technology for the development of the bicycle is located will be defined. For this purpose, the observation of the basic principles of technology, the formulation of the concept of bicycle technology, its simulation and the identification of possible ecological, social and economic impacts will be carried out. Finally, an outline of the unification of energy flow systems will be made and the feasibility of technology development will be determined.
