In this paper a hybrid power system combining animal power and human power is experimentally studied to supply continuous power for minor irrigation. The animal power is used as main energy source while the human power system is used as secondary or backup energy source. This invention provides animal powered and human powered mechanical device for prime mover to electric generator. Human and animal energy in form of high-torque low-speed can be converted into low-torque high-speed through
