DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING OF LOOP WHEEL WITH DAMPER

Abstract

Polluted air is one of the major environmental problems in India. Around 20% of total air pollution is from vehicles. The polluted air is very hazardous to human health and it is observed that all the metropolitans are facing severe consequences of polluted air. To reduce pollution created due to two wheelers, many countries are supporting the use of bicycles. It will not only reduce pollution but also helpful to keep human healthy. Problem associated with conventional bicycles is poor suspension and uncomfortable seating arrangement hence it is avoided to use over long distances. Authors have designed a wheel for bicycles with inbuilt suspension. CAD design of a wheel with hardware structure development is presented by authors in this paper. It is suggested to use the wheel for improvement in suspension for better ride experience.
