Automobile based mobile charging
Right now the most important and common thing for each and every one is Mobiles or Smartphones. But the problem we regularly face while using them is charging. So imagine there is a plug in the car which you can use it for charging mobile. The Power required for charging your mobile will be generated from the wheels. Does it sound new?? Yes, that’s true. Through this project, you are going to build a system where you can charge your mobile with the power generated from the motion of the wheels of your car.

You will need a dynamo which will be arranged to the wheels in such a way that whenever the wheel rotates, the rotating head of the dynamo will be rotated and the power is generated. The generated power will be stored in the battery and from the battery, you are going to charge your mobile. You can also innovate the system in such a way that you can update the charging status and battery power status to the remote server which can be accessed from anywhere by including an Arduino and Wi-Fi Module.

Project Description:

  1. Normal Charger: The normal mobile charger contains a Transformer which is used to Step-down the voltage from 230V AC to 5V AC and Rectifier circuit to convert 5V AC to 5V DC
  2. Dynamo: A dynamo is an electrical generator that produces direct current with the use of a commutator. Dynamos were the first electrical generators capable of delivering power for industry, and the foundation upon which many other later electric-power conversion devices were based, including the electric motor, the alternating-current alternator, and the rotary converter.
  3. Normal Plug: The plug is generally a electrical connector or holder which holds devices and provide electrical connections.

Project Implementation:

  1. Arrange the rotating head of the dynamo to the wheel of an automobile in such a way that whenever the wheel rotates, the Dynamo head should rotate
  2. Attach the dynamo power terminals to the plug
  3. Connect the charger to the plug and mobile to the charger
  4. As soon as the automobile starts moving, you can see the mobile getting charged
