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

What is the AC reading? Yes- a bridge rectifier from Radio Shack would turn that voltage into DC with a ripple on it.

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

could you power an electric motor and mount it in the front wheel so that it can assist you while pedaling? Can both be made friction drive?

This should allow you go faster and longer a bicycle.
