hey. ive been searching for another green generator im not sure of its name or producer. it is worn on your arm and the motion of your body some how charges a phone. there is no lever of mechanicle motion i can see and its fairly flat and flexible have you heard of it

I think the professor on Gilligan’s Island invented this.

(pedant mode) RPM, not “RPMs” (/pedant mode)

I have a 60 year old girlfriend who remembers when she was little (early 1950′s) that her grandfather had a treadmill in his barn for his dog. He had some sort of gizmo, which held food, attached to the end that the dog ran after. This dog powered a light in the barn strong enough to allow the grandfather to milk cows in the fall, winter & spring when the days were short. So what have we been doing the last 60 years to improve this system? Joining health clubs?

I would guess 120 watts x 10 hours would give you 1.2kWh. So you might need a week of 10 hour a day power pedaling:-0

very cool vid , I bike alot and own a hybrid car. I wondered how much of my own energy would be needed to recarge the batteries in that car . it looks like it would be a serious work out

Some clever tinkering with some available products.
Recumbent exercise bikes (kinda looks like an office chair) already have an internal alternator/generator.
Mount a laptop computer on the bike’s original display panel, and rewire the generator so it powers the laptop. A bit of exercising, and computer work at the same time.
See if a gym wants to get rid of it’s old recumbents.

Wow, great video! I really enjoyed it. Very informative.

How’d you get Denise to pedal the bike? My wife wouldn’t fall for that one…”Just keep pedaling honey! the football game’s almost over!”

Looks like a lot of work for Denise
This is great information and shows us all what can be done with a little information and your local hardware store

Umm why not just connect the silver compressor whosit straight to the chain of the bike?
You are converting kinetic energy to electricity and back to kinetic again, and losing power in the conversions.
It shows you can build (and quite well too) but constructing an old design out of new parts isn’t that ground breaking.
There is a word for a machine that uses heaps more parts than necessary, but i can’t think of it right now.

@squidbilly25 WOW WXCELLENT INFORMATION THANK YOU!!!!!!!
They would work perfectly!

There is a brand of training equipment called cycle ops. This would fit your application perfectly. you can purchase it at Eddies bike shop in Stow, ohio. I’ve seen generator set ups on with the cycle ops and its pretty bad ass.

No, because of how a DC Generator is set up. They have a brush system and a difftent magnetic set up, so that your wave form is at a positive polarity at all times. The wave will still have high and low values, but will never drop to a negative.

From whom did you buy the motor?

It’s gonna be tanks to people like you that the average citizen will be able to sustain themselves and declare complete independence from large corporations in times of need. Such as this recession.
Keep up the great work!

thanks dan for the videos!

@okbuilder This is DC generator.
June 1st, 2010 at 6:21 am
All of this tech stuff is cool, but when it comes down to it, an old DC generator and a voltage regulator can replace all of this…..
