The consumption of energy is directly proportional to the progress of mankind. The field of energy conservation is becoming an increasing notable subject of research among the scientific community today. Renewable Energy Technologies are very important in present and future generation for generating power. Different methods are proposed already for power generation using non conventional energy sources are solar energy, Wind energy, Tidal energy, and Biomass energy, Fuel Cells, Geothermal energy and human power[1]. Human power is a power produced from gym exercise. Human powers can another renewable source of energy. The intention of this project is to design a system based on renewable energy source. A generator used here is the 24V motor which is powered by a gym bicycle. A motor is connected to gym bicycle in such way as the circular rotation of the front wheel rotates the motor shaft. The resulting direct current is converted into different usable DC voltages levels. By converting this DC voltage into AC levels. It will useful to light bulbs, laptop and mobile charging, musical system and other appliances. This will reduce the energy demand in today’s life.
converted from mechanical energy to electrical energy using motor as generator will helpful. As energy usage across the world continues to rise, there is need to develop new sources for electricity generation that have less environmental impacts. Human power an alternative for energy generation and human power is easily available in human exercise. The project focuses on the ADCET Sport Complex at Ashta, Sangli. The system is tested in ADCET Sport Complex. This project is based on the renewable energy source. Fig 1 refers to proposed system of this project. Renewable Energy Technologies are very important in present and future generation for generating power. This project plays big role into save energy save electricity.

1. INTRODUCTION Fig-1: Proposed System The energy expended in typical workout at the gym is usually wasted in the mechanics of the equipments. So this energy can utilize this by converting this mechanical energy into electrical energy. It is known that the supplies of fossil fuels are limited and their utilization as energy sources, in addition to this world population increase the order for energy sources increases, so the issue of a steady replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy source is major consideration for the most countries. Renewable power generation system is currently preferred for clean power generation[2]. With ongoing revolution in the generation, electricity is generated at small level by using gym bicycle. Most of these villages are un-electrified. The total number of un-electrified villages in India as on 31-05-2015 was 19706 [3]. To power Š 2017, IRJET
