DESCRIPTION : As people over the world continue to search for renewable energy sources, innovative and interesting ideas for generating power are constantly being devised. Those interested in keeping fit and doing exercise in a day to day life, they are using various equipments to burn their calories. Now-a-days spin bike was commonly used in gym as well as home for fitness purpose. In that 4-5 kcal/min of human calories is dissipated without any usage. To know the fitness level of human can be find out through laboratory based VO2 Max test. This is much costly and needs more complex equipments The objective of the project is to generate the power from the spin bike and to find out the fitness level of human by conducting VO2 max Level test. In this project, the spin bike is coupled with the PMDC generator which will produce the electrical power when we pedal the cycle. Due to the rotational movement of wheel the generator start rotating and cut the magnetic flux, an EMF get induced. The voltage produced by the bike can be stored in a battery. The heartbeat of the person can be obtained from the heart beat sensor. Here the LabVIEW is used for monitoring and control the various parameters of bike such as Calories burned, VO2 max level, heart rate, MET, BMI, Power generator, battery Status, Speed, Workout Time and Distance
