Clean Energies: An Opportunity to save the Planet

Clean energies, also known as renewable energies, can be produced with minimum social, cultural, health, and environmental impacts. The aim of this study is to design an electric generator powered by pedaling a bicycle to charge small electronic devices through a USB port, as an alternative to reduce conventional energy consumption at homes in San Sebastian. The study is qualitative, descriptive in scope and was applied to (30) students of the San Sebastián School. The main conclusion is that the students have managed to raise awareness in the community of San Sebastián on the use of alternative energies through their participation in events such as fairs, as an active way to help reduce pollution and to combat climate change on the planet.
