Pedal Powered Generators have been of interest at many places where no other alternative electricity generator has been viable. While using pedal power is not a new concept in itself, it has not been successfully used on a wider scale. There are a lot of schools in rural India, which are residential and are not grid connected. A pedal power generator with a lighting system was developed for such schools and tested. It provides 40 minutes of lighting for 10 minutes of pedaling. Currently about 10 such lighting systems are in use all over India and more are being  shipped.
