ABSTRACT
Today’s world is facing the problem of power crisis, because most of the power generation units are running on thermal energy, which basically need coal for generation of electricity. Since, it is well known that the coal as a natural wealth is remained in limited amount. Therefore today’s world is looking for an alternative energy source. As far as the situation of tribal areas are concerned the people needs an alternative energy source to run their household, agricultural, constructional machines and equipment as there is scarcity of electricity. An alternative energy sources are available like (a) Human energy (b) Wind energy (c) Solar energy (d) Tidal energy. Keeping human energy as an epic centre, Dr.Modak has developed the concept as Human Powered Flywheel Motor and he has worked over last four decades. Several applications have been tried with HPFM. Through this research a concrete mixer is a new application is considered with HPFM as energy source. The system is designed and developed. Experimentation is conducted according to plan of experimentation. The data obtained from the experimentation is then used to formulate the mathematical models. The models are then considered for the quantitative and qualitative analysis.
