way. Participants produce and consume their own energy by
pedaling a bicycle-powered generator to power different
electrical loads. Designed and built to be portable and reliable,
the Pedal Power travels easily, sets up quickly and is rugged
enough to withstand heavy usage with minimal maintenance for
years. Complete with up to three types of lights (incandescent,
CFL and LED) and several electric appliances, the Pedal Power
display uses any size bicycle 20 inches and larger so that
everybody from adults to small children can participate. This

Visit Franklin Lynam and Jay Kickliter, students at the State
University of New York Maritime College, to talk about their
DEED supported student project. A dynamic mesh networked
distributed sensor grid for maintenance and management of
utility infrastructure will be developed through this project. By
taking advantage of the minimal power consumption of shortrange transmitters, inductive power will provide sufficient energy
to drive both sensors and transmitters, eliminating the need for
costly individual power systems. By reducing the unit price of
sensor modules, an energy-efficient intelligent communication
grid can be implemented using this technology for a realistic
cost without the negative long-term environmental impact of
batteries.
