Developed countries have become accustomed to having access to an electric grid and it is taken for granted that electricalpower is available at any time. However, this is not the case in many Remote villages in developing countries where insufficient Infrastructure has left many people short of a basic energy supply. It is estimated that in india alone there are 80, 000 such villages and if one includes many Areas of africa this number increases even further. This lack of electricity is a significant barrier that prevents these villages from becoming a part of the global mainstream society. To address this need, a portable hand crank generating system is proposed in this project to supplement alternative energy sources such as photovoltaic cells and wind power systems. An generator has been designed to provide a 50w output and occupy a small space with a limited mass. A mechanical transmission scheme is also developed. This is augmented with a battery and inverter to supply power.
