Bull Driven Generators

A 2 kW, 3-Phase, 240 V, 50 Hz Rotary Mode Power Transmission Unit designed to generate electricity using animal power. The system operates through a robust mechanical arrangement where a pair of bullocks drives a gearbox-coupled permanent magnet generator, mounted on a specially engineered rotating frame.

Scalability

• The system can be upgraded up to 4 kW by using two pairs of bullocks, making it suitable for higher power requirements without electrical grid dependency.

Key Features

• Renewable, eco-friendly, and fuel-free power generation

• Ideal for rural and off-grid applications

• Simple mechanical design with low maintenance

• Reliable power output for basic electrical loads

• Utilizes locally available animal power resources
