From http://pedalpowergenerator.com Keep couch potatoes in shape! Have them power their own video games. This is a demo of a Car Alternator being used as a pedal power bicycle generator to power up a Harry Potter video game while I am holding a wireless controller. The game is being played on Play Station 2. The PS2 requires 30 Watts of power through an AC inverter. The purpose of the inverter is to convert 14.8 DC (Direct current) volts from the pedal power bike generator into 110 Volts AC (Alternate Current) which is what you use when you plug something into the wall outlet in your Home. So when you pedal you will be supplying a total of 30 Watts and about 2.0 Amps. Note: the way you calculate Watts is Current AMPS X Volts. In this case: 2.0 Amps x 14.8Volts DC = 29.6 Watts. If you want to see voltage current Amps and Watts waveform graph data from this application go to http://pedalpowergenerator.com and click on the link "test results". If you want the free plans to build this, then click on "free plans". Note: Many people ask me how the alternator can work without having a battery hooked up to. The answer is that the alternator already has enough of a residual magnetic field to start the generator process and put out 14.8 volts DC after 3 seconds of pedaling fast.

just curious when i spin the alt i noticed when i switch the meter to check to get results from the dc part i get nothing but when i checked the ac portion of the meter i get numbers jumping up and down does that mean i have to hook up a bridge rectifier to get dc power ? hmmm maybe thats why im not getting any power it must be only getting ac power ? if so how do i correct this
i tryed to wire up a car alternator to a bike got nothing tryed different ways to wire it up its looks so easy on youtube but gave up no electric hooked up a switch to exite it can you help me ?
most car alternators do not have permanent magnets so the stationary coil have to be excited with an energy source first...like a battery. typical alternator has a main power wire and 4 "pins" coming out this is the rectified/regulated supply. I can't tell you the config to get it working off the top of my head but with some trial and error(and a multimeter to measure coils resistance) you could figure out which is the rotor and which is the stator pins

yeah... i like it
And I could power car adapter accessories off a 12V camcorder battery.
This should allow you go faster and longer a bicycle.
