My pedal generator

One of my projects for UK electronics magazine Practical Electronics.

Works really well!

Based on old exercise bike plus electric outboard motor:



V belt driven off original exercise bike flywheel:



Can light (relatively) low-power LED...



Or two 90W LED light bars (this scene is pitch-black without the pedal lights):



About 350W is available - and no doubt more than that with a more powerful rider than me...
