Morphological Design of a Bicycle Propulsion Component Using the Hierarchical Analysis Process (AHP)

There are many mechanical and/or electrical energy storage devices nowadays which can be mounted on standard bicycles. The current trend regarding bicycle energy storage devices is to develop and improve electrical and electronic systems that can ease transportation. However, this paper shows the de...

description There are many mechanical and/or electrical energy storage devices nowadays which can be mounted on standard bicycles. The current trend regarding bicycle energy storage devices is to develop and improve electrical and electronic systems that can ease transportation. However, this paper shows the design process of a purely mechanical energy storage device, with no electrical components, which instead aims to entertain the user, producing a stimulus related to speed and physical exertion. The mechanical device has been designed according to an aspect or fashion known as steampunk, so that the mechanical elements forming the device (springs and spur gears) are visible to the user. The storage and discharge of energy are only produced by the user. In order to charge the device, after reaching an appropriate speed, the user uses the pedals in reverse motion. Alternatively, the mechanism can also be charged with a controlled braking system by actuating on a crank. The design process was based on the total design of Pugh and the AHP and QFD techniques.
