"Pedal Operated Hacksaw Machine": Under The Guidance of

The document describes a pedal-powered hacksaw machine. It was designed to cut materials like PVC pipes, metal, and wood using human power from pedaling, which can generate 1/4 horsepower. This provides an alternative to hand cutting and serves as an exercise machine. The machine uses a crank and slider mechanism to connect the pedaling to an oscillating hacksaw blade. The goal was to create a pedal-powered cutting tool that reduces human effort during machining of various materials and acts as a green, portable alternative to electric saws.

“PEDAL OPERATED HACKSAW MACHINE”

Under the Guidance of Er. Jitendra Kumar

INTRODUCTION

Pedal power is the transfer of energy from a human source through the use of a foot pedal
and crank system. This technology is most commonly used for transportation and has been used
to propel bicycles for over a hundred years. Less commonly pedal power is used to powerr
agricultural and hand tools and even to generate electricity. Some applications include pedal
powered laptops, pedal powered grinders and pedal powered water wells. Some third world
development projects currently transform used bicycles into pedal powered tools for sustainable
development. This project concentrates on pedal powered hacksaw machining.

An individual can generate four times more power (1/4 HP) by pedalling than by hand-
cranking. At the rate of ¼ HP, continuous pedalling can be served for only short periods,
approximately 10 minutes. However, pedalling at half this power (1/8 HP) can be sustained for
close to 60 minutes but power capability can depend upon age. As a consequence of the
brainstorming exercise, it was apparent that the primary function of pedal power one specific
product was particularly useful: the bicycle. Many devices can be run right away with
mechanical energy. A saw is a tool that uses a hard blade or wire with an abrasive edge to cut
through softer materials. The cutting edge of a saw is either a serrated blade or an abrasive. A
saw may be worked by hand, or powered by steam, water, electric or other power. An abrasive
saw uses an abrasive disc or band for cutting, rather than a serrated blade.
The aim of this work is to design and construct a pedal driven hacksaw machine that will
use a less effort pedalling power to produce uniform cutting of PVC pipes, metals, wood and as
the same time serve as an exercising machine for fitness. It is also done to show the performance
difference between hand driven and pedal driven hacksaw. This work is design to overcome the
stress attached to hand cutting of engineering materials by turning it into an exercise for body
fitness. In this Pedal operated hacksaw machine which can be used for industrial applications
and Household needs in which no specific input energy or power is needed. This project consists
of a crank and slider mechanism. In the mechanism pedal is directly connected to the hacksaw
through crank and slider mechanism for the processing of cutting the wooden blocks, metal bars,
PVC materials. The objective of the modal is using the conventional mechanical process which
plays a vital role. The main aim is to reduce the human effort for machining various materials
such as wooden blocks, steel, PVC etc. The power hacksaw machine, which runs on human
power, works on the principle of the conversion of rotational motion to oscillatory motion.
Importance of this project lies in the very fact that it is green project and helps us to reduce our
electricity need. Secondly, this cutter can be used and transferred to our working place easily.
Moreover, if we want, we can generate electricity with our project by connecting it to dynamo,
diode and battery.
