put magnets around the wheel and a coil near it for power generation. bzguy from Atlanta GA, USA

You could epoxy some Magnets onto the rim and run some coils by it mounted to that post....

that is cool..

@gravityisweak Darn, doesn't tell you how to get to the part where you get to plug something in... It gets very complicated on the videos I have seen so far. I am still going to search on and off line. I will let you in on any successful outcome. I just need to operate a water pump for aquaponics, It is windy here! I have bicycle wheels! Thank you for your reply and great video.

@ajofscott Wouldn't solar system be more efficient in AU ?

OK here is something you might look into. Consider Marine sources of electricity used on sailboats :)

this is really neat, I'd like to recreate this at my house.

Hi, did you ever get a workable response to your question. I knew a guy who made a water wheel of spoons. He charged car batteries with it. He used a voltage regulator and the altanater (?) from a motor cycle. It was a very simple system and he just rotated the batteries as he needed. He powered lights in his cabin and a water pump to get water to his cabin where he had a tank. Gravity feed into the cabin gave him indoor plumbing! Wish I could remember his system. I sure need that info now!

@brendahodgins Most of the responses Ive had say the same thing: put magnets around the rim and make them pass by coils.

@yougeo It's funny, I just saw that in the newest issue of Popular Science. Guess I need to find a rim just slightly bigger than this one, and place it on the outside. Hmm.

@HWman1991 Thank you, attaching a stepper motor from an old printer is a great idea. I'm not quite sure what the best way to do this mechanically is. Maybe a belt connecting the stepper, or have it contact the wheel directly, or maybe even use the stepper motor as the bearing of the wheel. Good possibilities here, thanks.
