Free DIY BYO Plans For Pedal Power Bicycle Generator

Free DIY BYO bike generator plans http://pedalpowergenerator.com

Take a look as this video clip which shows you some steps to make your own bicycle generator and then shows you students at a Coronado school science fair riding the bikes and making electricity. The students are having fun converting human energy into 40 Watts of mechanical energy through a pedal power bike generator out to a Black and Decker yard blower. The yard blower has a ping pong ball floating up and down. Kids Love to do this over and over again, all night long as you will see.

Cool video,im curous about how long it would take to charge a bank of 12v batterys at low to moderate wind can someone give me a few examples?I wanna go off grid,id like to build a windturbine large enough[mayb 2 or 3]to also heat my home[in floor elec heat].How many batterys you think i'll need?how big an inverter?I'd like to build a larger windmill[wind the coils and set the magnets etc, but not sure how the ends of each coil are conected,and end up with 3 wires[im new at this] thanks guys.

Take a look at your electric bill and tell me what your peak monthly kW-H usage was. Do you have electric range, water heater, heating, and dryer? What we have to do is determine if you turned all these things on at once, and that would give us the peak power or peak current need to be supplied by your alternative energy / power system.

Is there anyway to hook a battery up to the bike that would store the energy and then later you could plug something up that would use the energy?

[bdwhaley2]

Yes there is, you can by a xantrex power pack with built in Sealed Lead acid battery, 400 Watt AC inverter, flashlight, jumper cables, and air compressor for $100.00 US.

How long does it take to charge a 9v or 12v battery?

I really appreciated your answer. thanks!

Great questio. Let's say you were to get a Duracell DPP-600HD Powerpack 600 Jump Starter & Emergency Power Source with Radio (by Xantrex) for $99.00. This has a 28 Amp Hour DC Deep CYcle Sealed battery inside. You could hook up a bike generator to it, and charge it in about 7 hours. (Assuming you put out 100 Watts of power which is equivalent to about 6 Amps of charging current)

how much does a bike-pedaling slave child cost, or is that included in the package?

[yasserdouka]

At last! A reason to have children!

[portillacity]

now the children know the electriciti cost jejejejeje

[bicyclegenerator]

@balanceblue Kids are free as long as you subtract the cost to feed, cloth, house, educate, and vaccinate :-)

[NavyOneKC]

@balanceblue That would depend on how good you are in divorce court! You could actually get PAID to have them (welfare/child support) on top of the free energy!

@Nachito667 You can get a belt like that from Auto zone or any decent automtive place. The belt will not have to be exactly 64 inches if you have a sliding adjustment type design where you can take up the slack in a belt by sliding the generator back.

I'm trying to build one of these but having trouble sourcing all the parts. Where can I get a 46 inch belt for ten bucks?

Children in scools should generate power by doing this while sitting - free energy for everyone, the kids have excersise, and its ecological.
