a bike-powered cinema is were the power for the projector and the sound is provided by generators, which are powered by bicycles, basically. you get an old electric motor, and rather than putting energy into it and getting it to spin, we reverse it so we spin the motor and get energy out of it. so you have to pedal on the bike that'sgoing to be lifted up using an a-frame, and that's going to rub against the electric motor and generate energy.

and we're going to use that energy to power a projector, and that's going to be our cinema. the project is run by students entirely... there's myself and few other engineers without borders members that meet up weekly and plan the project and help construct it. all the construction goes on in the mechanical lab in sanderson building, in king's buildings, so we get a lot of help from the technicians for the more technical aspects of the project that we can't really do ourselves. our main consultant is ron brown

who works in the school of chemistry at king's buildings, and he was part of the guerrilla cinema project, so he's helped us really plan the project and make sure we're on the right track. if you're just powering your projectorand your sound system via the 230v mains, that's all comingfrom either coal-fired and nuclear power, or usually gas power stations. with the bike power, it's all you,

it's all sustainable. you're using your energy to give the power for the projector and thesound system. so it's a clean way of having some fun. our aim is to act as a platform forstudents to realize their ideas into projects that mainly focus on internationaldevelopment and how sustainable development could bea solution to many of the problems that our society faces today. and propose some engineering solutionsto these kind of problems.

i'm a civil engineering student so i don't really have much to do with electrical engineering or electronics... so this has given methe opportunity to learn a lot more and get a greater insight about electrical engineering. and also about sustainability. really the project is about engagement... so it's trying to get people to engage with issues to do with sustainability and...
