Portable Pedal Power

Early design sketch for the Portable Pedal Power projectEarly design sketch for the Portable Pedal Power project The Portable Pedal Power project is a collaboration between the Center for Advancement of Sustainable Living and the Ecological Design Center to create a portable, bicycle-powered electric generator. When completed, the project will serve as an educational tool and demonstration of alternative energy sources.

Koehn Colloquium

The pedal power project began with a proposal by CASL and the EDC for the Koehn Colloquim in April of 2005. PPP was selected as the wining entry, so the pedal power team had the opportunity to participate in the Koehn Colloquium workshop with aeronautical engineer Burt Rutan, to develop the design for the pedal power generator.
