Pedal Powered Prime Mover - DIY Plans

Change Your World - Build Your Own Solution to Energy Generation

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 - Full Retail

The approximate cost for parts to construct the PPPM, based on full retail prices at hardware and bicycle stores in Northern California, is US $230.00

Many parts can be re-used from junk bicycles, or found in typical workshops. It may be possible to construct the PPPM for a small fraction of that amount by recycling a junk bicycle for the bicycle parts and buying only the remaining, less common mechanical parts.

Note: This cost does not include the equipment that will be powered by the PPPM: plaptop computers, blenders, umps, generators, air compressors, or other equipment. To estimate the costs of electrical devices, you may request to "Show Prices" using the Circuit Builder to see approximate additional costs.

Online Assembly Support To Help You Succeed

Purchasing the plans entitles you 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!
