ABSTRACT
Button operated electromagnetic gear shifting system for a two wheeled vehicle could be implemented using a stepper motor gear changing system. This system could be used alongside a micro controller system (which would move the gear to the required location) and a keypad for typing in the gear number needed. This gear shifting system could be used in order to operate a reasonably large two wheeled system, such as a pedal bike. It would be straightforward to use as well as effective.
• How gear systems work
Gear systems exist in order for a vehicle to be able to travel at a range of speeds with maximum efficiency. Higher gears require less energy or fuel for the vehicle to operate, but can only be utilized at higher speeds or the vehicle would stall or be ineffective. Lower gears require more power per unit distance, but allow for greater control and are effective at low speeds. If you are finding this idea difficult to understand, consider riding a basic pedal bike. Note that when you are travelling at a moderate speed, it is much easier to pedal in a higher gear than it is in a lower one.
• The benefits of using a gear system
The main benefit of a gear system is that it saves large quantities of energy and fuel. For manually operated vehicles, this makes travelling less strenuous - and for petrol operated vehicles, a significant amount of money can be saved. In addition, lesspollution is released into the environment. A gear system also allows easy of use. Drivers can select the appropriate gear for the driving speed and find their vehiclesconvenient to operate. Gear systems are now installed in virtually every car and motorvehicle, as well as on most adult pedal bikes.
