Energy Bike Hub

The Bike Energy Hub is a small disk shape hub that connects easily to the user’s bike wheel, which then collects energy and stores it into a battery pack as they ride their bike. The energy can then be used for charging your phone or other devices wherever you ride your bike and increases safety when biking in remote places. This gives bikers a way to contact and connect to others wherever they are.

Bikers get lost or hurt every day for many reasons and it can sometimes be hours or even days before they can properly get help. The Bike Energy Hub creates and stores power when the wheel simply just spins, so technically if the user was badly injured they could just sit and spin the wheel to create power. The hub then holds power in a battery pack and also has storage space to hold a charging cord, so the user’s phone will always be charged. This gives another very useful lifeline to bikers, of all ages who can ride, so that they can feel and be safer when riding.


The Power Platform

The Power Platform is a near shore renewable energy platform that produces electricity by harnessing wind, wave, and solar energy. Composed of windmills, solar panels, and a wave paddle wheel, this platform produces energy with minimal impacts to the environment.

The project addresses the reduction of environmental pollution from fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and natural gases. The Power Platform will help cut down on these pollutive sources to help improve the overall health of the planet and its inhabitants. Countries will be more independent and not rely less upon fossil fuel producing nations for energy. The platforms energy production can be employed around the globe to benefit all people. It will help improve peoples lives because it will make energy readily available to all. The basic technology of this project captures energy from wind, wave, and solar sources and converts into electricity through turbines. The platform takes several existing energy producing technologies, combines and condenses them into one small location to create an efficient, environmentally friendly power plant. People everywhere around the world will be using the energy produced by these platforms in their everyday lives in their cars, homes, businesses and recreational activities.
