Diseño e implementación de un generador eléctrico lineal en la suspensión de bicicletas

Getting the most out of the energy in a system is a priority field in the world of engineering. We identified the possibility of harnessing the energy released in the suspension system of land transport means and transforming it into electrical energy. This article presents experimental results of electrical generation by taking advantage of the vibrations of the suspension of a bicycle through the use of a linear electrical generator. A design and prototype are proposed to couple the linear generator to bicycles as an accessory. The linear generator and the coupling are built to carry our tests, preventing obtaining "end effect" in the generated voltage. Finally, the experimental data on electricity generation are extracted and results similar to the expectations raised in a theoretical analysis are found. These results can be used to identify possible applications
