Abstract

This report provides the details of an engineering design project undertaken by Mechanical Engineering Design and Drafting Technology students at the Sheridan College. The goal of this project is to design a water pump / purification system driven by the pedal power for the Worldskills 2017 IMM Competition. The design must be portable, easy to assemble and lightweight. A recumbent bicycle was designed at 60° due to its efficiency compared with traditional bicycle. An transmission system which included a gear box, couplings, shafts and pedals was designed in order to have output of 80rpm. The ratio of the gear box is 5:1. All the components are streamlined in design. The output of the designed water purification system is1 liter per 10 seconds.
