Pedal Powered Prime Mover - DIY Plans
You are One Click Away from Plans for Generating Your Own Power
The Pedal Powered Prime Mover (PPPM) can be assembled with standard hand tools (drill, hacksaw, wrench, pliers, screwdriver, etc.). There is no welding, brazing or machine-shop work required. The PPPM can be used to power virtually anything that requires moderate amounts of electric power, spins, or rotates, as long as the effort required is within the capabilities of the rider.
Plans Include Detailed Instructions and Assembly Photographs
The Pedal Powered Prime Mover plans consist of:
- A list of tools required to build the Pedal Powered Prime Mover
- A list of parts required to build the Pedal Powered Prime Mover
- Over 30 pages of detailed, step-by-step assembly instructions
- A CD with over 150 photographs of the assembly
- Your choice of an additional set of Free Plans:
- 12 Volt DC Generator Plans - Add a Generator to the PPPM for 12 Volt DC Output
- Roller Pump Plans - Add A Roller Pump to the PPPM to Pump Various Liquids
Plans for powering other common devices using the PPPM are under development. You may wish to preview the Plans Table of Contents and Sample Chapter to see how comprehensive and easy-to-follow the plans are.
Approximate Cost for Parts
Many parts can be re-used from junk bicycles, or found in typical workshops. You can construct the PPPM by recycling a junk bicycle for the bicycle parts and buying only the remaining, less common mechanical parts.
The approximate cost for parts to construct the PPPM ranges from US $100 to $250, depending on the cost of parts in your area and your ability to scrounge.
Note: The equipment that will be powered by the PPPM, such as pumps, generators, air compressors, laptop computers, blenders, or other equipment, would be additional.
Instant Online Assembly Support To Help You Succeed
The CD you receive with the plans links directly to an online support form, where you may ask detailed assembly questions. You are also entitled to 30 days of Priority* Email support. A Yahoo Group has been created exclusively for owners to share ideas and information. Your plans will include materials necessary to receive support and access the Yahoo Group.
In addition to the 30 days of Priority Support, you may attend the world's only pedal-powered webcast almost every Tuesday-Friday and post any questions you have in real time. I'll be riding the PPPM to power the webcast!
