This project is focused on recycling unused battery powered drills into a method of power generation. Drills already have a chuck for alignment from mechanical energy and all the components to generate electricity, so this makes them an ideal alternator for the generator. Keeping with the idea of recycling and reducing waste, the mechanical energy input is a chain and sprockets system taken from and inspired by recycled bicycles.

Problem Statement/Summary
Unusable cordless power drills with dead batteries take up space but have useful hardware. This is important to reduce waste and generate quantifiable energy using available drill mechanisms.
