INTRODUCTION
Cell phones are communication devices which are
seen almost everywhere these days.
A pedal power phone charger is a system that
converts mechanical motion into electrical motion
or currents to drive (charge) mobile devices
(phones, iPads, tablets, etc.)

PROBLEM STATEMENT
Mobile phones and other smart devices need a constant
supply of energy in other to work accurately
With the current unreliable power situation, it becomes a
problem since these devices require a constant supply of
power

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The system will have a power bank to store
energy for later use
The system will be very affordable to middle and
low income earners

RECOMMENDATION AND
CONCLUSION
It is recommended that mobile phone
accessory manufacturers take up and improve
on this project for commercial production.
On completion of the project the packaging
was not very presentable its recommended
that with time a better package will be
produced.

CONCLUSION
The objectives I set out to achieve was; to design,
simulate, test and construct a pedal power phone
charger with a power bank and these have been met.
The device was able to charge some smart phones and
GSM phones

RECOMMENDATION
Further works should be done
