This is another Unizik efforts in creativity. Some students did autobus and now the final year project of another set of students is making the waves in Unizik.
This team of Mechanical Engineering Students comprises of ONYEBUCHI CHINONSO, OVOKE PAUL, CHIKA PAUL, UDORA EDISON, NWAFOR PAULING, and from the department of Electrical Engineering VICTOR IKEH TOCHUKWU.
These Zikites assembled materials with creativity
and produce a made in Nigeria ELECTRIC POWER BIKE which they have named
EBS ONE.
The project(EBS ONE) has to do with having an
electrical system in place of internal combustion engine of a
motorcycle. This electrical system comprises mainly of; the batteries, a
DC motor, the gear system, and an inverter. The batteries power the
motor which in turn moves the gear to bring about the movement of the
rear wheel. i.e batteries>motor>gear>rear wheel.
The idea of
this project is to reduce the dependence on fuel for motorcycles and
reduce ozone layer depletion by carbon compounds due to combustion of
fuels.
They fabricated their own Chasis(skeleton). It has the
shape of a modern day powerbike.T hey also made use of Solidworks
application,Autodesk Inventor and Matlab for different
simulations.Everything involving the project was done in the school's
workshop. The power system comprises of a 12Volts 6Amps battery, an
electric motor and some other materials which were gotten.
Indeed, Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka is really producing qualified and competitive engineers.
