HAVE A GREAT IDEA FOR AN
INVENTION
•  Today one of the most important need of mankind is renewable
• and endless source of ENERGY.
•  THE REASON I CREATED THIS PROJECT WAS TO HELP PEOPLE BY –
 Having home generators which can run on renewable sources of fuel like wind
• etc.
• Or, With methods which can propel small generators in such a way that it can
• provide free electricity endlessly.
INVESTIGATE INVENTIONS AND
IDEAS OF THE PAST
 For generating electricity few important things that are required are
as follows –
 Generators
 Source of energy to propel these generators like wind, water, steam etc.
 I also understood that most of these source of energy cannot be used in
home based generators. So there has to be a source of energy which can
propel a small generator endlessly, without any of above mentioned source
of energy.
 I also thought that in case if there is such kind of propulsions available
then for making them more effective, I need to have a setup wherein with
a lesser effort, generator can be propelled faster.

INVESTIGATE INVENTIONS AND
IDEAS OF THE PAST
 I saw this video on internet defining how to propel a generator/
motor faster using a small and big pulley assembly.
 I always play with pair of snake magnets which my aunt gave me,
which are very strong magnets. I realized that when I keep same
poles in front of each other, they repel and try to move away. I
thought if we can make an arrangement of these magnets that once
put in a specific assembly they continuously repel each other, thus
creating a regular motion which then can make the big pulley rotate
endlessly, it can be a endless source of energy.
 I also saw how the old big clock in our house having a pendulum
which continuously oscillates, so I thought if I can even use this
continuous motion and convert it into propelling the big pulley, I can
have a continuously running home generator.
DRAW PICTURES AND DIAGRAMS
TO SHOW YOUR INVENTION AND
HOW IT MIGHT WORK.
BUILD YOUR PROTOTYPE OR
MODEL OF YOUR INVENTION
 THE GENERATOR IS MAN-POWERED AND IF IT IS CREATED IN A HUGE
SIZE WITH A GEAR , REPULTION POWER OR RECIPROCATING POWER
IT WILL MAKE THE BIG PULLEY ROTATE CONTINUOUSLY
TEST YOUR INVENTION
 MATERIAL USED FOR THE MODEL –
 Two CDs – for Big Pulley




Foam Rubber
Two wooden planks
9 V Toy motor
Wire





LED
Paper for making Electric Pole
Mechanical Bearings with shaft
Nails, Nut & Bolts & Glue
Rubber Bands / Rubber Belt from car tube
 I made a stand of two planks.
 Then Glued the Two CDS with each other, having rubber foam in between them,
on which the belt/rubber band will rest.
 Made a hole of the size of a bearing at the center of CDs.
 Then I fixed bearing on CDs and mounted it on the shaft and put it on the vertical
plank of wood.
 9V Motor is placed on the horizontal base and fixed with screws.
 I connected a LED in form of a street light to the motor.
 The motor having a small pulley with a gear is then connected to big pulley with a
belt/rubber band.
 For every one cycle rotation of large pulley the small pulley rotates 20-30 times,
thus generating electricity and the LED glows.
KEEP IMPROVING YOUR INVENTION
 For self rotation rather then manual force applied on large pulley, I thought of
a self running mechanism either in form of assembly of magnets or through a
reciprocating or pendulum motion.
 Once this assembly is attached to the main model, it gives continuous
rotations and thus makes a free form of endless energy.
MARKET YOUR INVENTION TO
PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BUY IT
 THE BEST THING ABOUT IT IS THAT WILL GENERATE ELECTRICITY
FOR POOR PEOPLE & THOSE LIVING IN VILLAGES, BECAUSE
VILLAGES DON’T HAVE GOOD SUPPLY OF ELECTRICITY. ELECTRICITY
TO VILLAGE PEOPLES IS LIKE THE IMPORTANCES OF WATER.
 IT WILLALSO PRESERVE OUR NATURAL RESOURCES AND
NON_RENEWABLE SOURCE OF ENERGY.
 IT IS POLLUTION LESS
 SMALL SCALE MODELS OF IT CAN BE USED BY HOUSEHOLDS, WHICH
NEED NOT HAVE INVERTORS, WHICH ON STORES ELECTRICITY FROM
THE MAIN SUPPLY
 THERE IS NO RUNNING COST TO IT
