With final year projects making the waves in Unizik,
UNIZIKMATA presents to you another Team of
Zikites that has a$$embled in same line of
creativity to produce a made in Nigeria ELECTRIC
POWER BIKE which they have named EBS ONE.
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 .
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.
They 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.
