This invention relates to An Intelligent Renewable Energy Harvesting System to Recharge Reserve Batteries for Electric Bikes.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Through the utilization of renewable energy generated by the bike's motion, this creative idea presents a sustainable method for increasing the range of electric bikes. It efficiently transfers the energy produced during the bike's operation to recharge an additional battery through a complex network of sensors and components. This procedure not only increases the bike's range but also encourages environmentally friendly mobility by lowering the need for conventional charging techniques. A personalized smartphone app also makes it easy for users to keep track of the battery statistics and charging status, giving them real-time updates on their bike's energy levels. All things considered, this invention is a big step in the direction of more environmentally friendly and effective transportation options.
This concept aims to solve two issues: the restricted range of electric motorcycles and the requirement for environmentally friendly charging methods. Conventional charging techniques frequently rely on grid electricity, which can increase carbon emissions and may not always be accessible. Furthermore, consumers who depend on electric bikes for long-distance or everyday transit may find that the bikes' limited range poses a challenge.

In this system, the piezo sensors are arranged in a 5x5 matrix configuration to enhance energy harvesting efficiency. The custom voltage booster is designed to efficiently regulate and amplify the energy generated by the piezo sensors before transferring it to the rechargeable battery. A 5V step-down power supply is included to regulate voltage levels for optimal operation of system components and efficient charging of the accessory battery. The ESP32 WiFi Board facilitates wireless communication, enabling users to monitor charging status and battery information in real time through a mobile application.

The LED indicator provides visual feedback on the system’s operational status, alerting users during different charging stages. Furthermore, the data collected by the voltage and current sensors is processed by the ESP32 Board to optimize energy harvesting and battery charging efficiency.
The invention also encompasses a method for harvesting renewable energy in an electric bike, which involves capturing mechanical energy through piezo sensors positioned within the bike’s construction. The captured mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy using a voltage booster and stored in a rechargeable accessory battery. Voltage and current levels are monitored through sensors, with data being transmitted to an ESP32 Board for processing. Real-time user monitoring is facilitated through an ESP32 WiFi Board and GSM modem, and an LED indicator provides operational feedback to users during different stages of the charging process.
