The generator is connected to the track, with a capacitor to smooth out the power and provide a little "inertia" for the train. The wires are hard to see because they are small. They run from the 1.5 F silver capacitor on the ground below me to the track in the foreground. That motor-shaped object behind and below me is the generator. See my other moves for other views of the parts.
yay! Now I can excersise AND stay at home watching my trains at the same time!

That is a 1.5 Farad Audio Stiffening Capacitor. I bought it on sale for $19.95 US.

Can you imagine how my healthier we'd all be if we had to pedal to run the computer we're using to post to YouTube ?
