CiKlÓn: identificación y formulación de un proyecto tecnológico para la generación de energía eléctrica en bicicletas con impacto social en la Región Norpatagónica (Neuquén – Río Negro)

Abstract

Transport vehicles require the use of lighting devices to facilitate the visibility of the road by the driver as well as light signals from the vehicle itself to be warned by other people in environments with low lighting, either because it is a night schedule, or by the obstruction of natural light (tunnels for example). In the case of blood traction vehicles such as bicycles, the availability of electricity can be an inconvenience, especially when the journey made requires many hours of electricity consumption or there is no possibility of battery recharging because they are areas without the availability of an electrical network. An alternative is to take advantage of the same power generated by the user of the vehicle to produce electricity and eventually store it in batteries at times when its use is not crucial. This has already been achieved with different proposals, however this work tries to explore an unoccupied niche that invites innovation. The proposal of this final work consists of identifying, formulating and evaluating the development project of a low-cost electrical generator that is conceptually adaptable to any type of original wheelset, different from those currently offered on the market (hub dynamo, bottle dynamo, etc). Among the tasks that are expected to be developed within the framework of this Final Work are (1) identify and formulate the project, using the technique known as Job To Be Done (JTBD), in order to develop the concept until formulating the project itself (conceptual characteristics to achieve the feasibility of the project), and (2) analyze at least one financing alternative currently available for the development of the first prototype.
