The term «human-powered», pertains to the feet that the movement of the vehicle is derived exclusively via human power, without any other external sources of energy. To achieve this objective, existing vehicles with similar function as well as pertinent upper body exercise equipment were studied. Then, following the development of the ideas that emerged, it was decided to design a four-wheel vehicle that combines cycling with rowing. Cycling and rowing are fueling the vehicle's movement and at the same time constitute the means for training, while driving. Furthermore, a fitness beam is attached to the vehicle and offers the ability to work out the upper body when the vehicle is stationary. Throughout design, the design team has implemented a continuous optimization of the vehicle’s parts with the help of SolidWorks® software, until the desired results were achieved. Ultimately, the human-powered vehicle that has been designed and optimized meets all the imposed requirements. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/15380 | Rights: | Απαγορεύεται η δημοσίευση ή αναπαραγωγή, ηλεκτρονική ή άλλη χωρίς τη γραπτή συγκατάθεση του δημιουργού και κάτοχου των πνευματικών δικαιωμάτων. | Type: | Bachelors Thesis | Affiliation: | Cyprus University of Technology |
