After watching this video you will have an understanding of what a blocking diode looks like and how it is to be connected to your pedal power bicycle generator dynamo.

  • Why do you have a positive and a negative wire on your blocking diode junction? Just running the Neg straight through the connector for aesthetics?

  • @ldaleb This is strictly a wire managment issue - a clean approach to for delivering power to where ever you want to route it to - in this instance we are charging a12 Volt Duracell battery powerpack.

  • 1) So the diode I bought from you has an arrow pointing in one direction. Which end is this the load or the generator side?

    2) I opened the top cover and noticed the black wire is just straight-through and not connected to the diode assembly inside at all. Is this correct?

  • @schaffercl The arrow is showing the direction of current flow. So you want current flowing from the generator to the battery. The arrow is pointing to the battery side of the diode. (2) Yes the black wire goes straight through, not connected to the didoe. Watch youtube.com/watch?v=D7P38eSUlk­­I

  • So i have two batteries connected to a generator one is a regular old car battery and I have the powerpack 600 from Duracell. I should i use two blocking diodes to make sure that the Duracell gets the most charge?

  • @alexHG123 Take a look at this video youtube.com/watch?v=D7P38eSUlk­I, it shows you better detail.

  • Also,please don't listen to 21 primemover12. He has to know he sounds like he probably breathes through his anus. If not, he is a D.A. in addition.

  • @bicyclegenerator I respect the thorough approach you have taken with this whole project. Especially for those of us who do not even have a grasp of elementary electronics, you have made this simple and understandable. 

  • MY "PEDAL POWER" SURE LOOKS AND RIDES A HELL OF ALOT BETTER!!!

  • Thanks !
