Bicycle Generator 110 Volt - Jim Townsend

How to use the bicycle alternator generator to generate 110 volt electricity to run your appliances. http://townsend.be You can use this to make a nice green smoothie in your blender and by the time it is done, you will be ready for the refreshments. Generate your own electricity as you go and you won't need to go on a diet either. It's healthy, saves you money and is a nice back up if the grid goes down. Keep in mind that you don't have to pedal as fast as I did to charge the battery and then just use the inverter to run the blender. Peddle fifteen minutes charging the battery and then the blender. The reason you have to pedal fast as I did, is because there is no battery, so you have to go fast enough to create enough voltage for the inverter to work.

What if you get a bedini circuit for this and let the bedini run the spinning cycle?

The inverter is great.

I have a bedini on my videos that I made and it works really well. Problem is that you really need to get a good coil for it to work efficiently.

@pkrska cool, i would love to see that. i tried to do that building my own coils and putting rare earth magnets on the flywheel.... rebuilding it.

wt about if u wnt 2 mke it my main power source....instead of making it with a bicycle i can use wind turbine setting setup....could it run my frigde and laptop.....plz reply

[townsendjim]

@mrkhristoff yes. you need low power appliances to begin with. i also use led bulbs to save energy. i rebuilt this so it is much easier to use now and it lights my entire motor home with little more effort than the weight of my legs to peddle. for a laptop you can use a 12v to 24v converter and step it down to 19v.

or just use a 110v motor to simple

[townsendjim]

@MrJetjoe .. cool, please make a video like this one that shows how to do that

cheers, jimi

Here is how to make a bedini

small things like this mixer or to charge up devices, etc...

you could get more batteries, hook in solar, water power, etc... and use the bike to store your own energy into the system

cheers, jimi

i do have this hooked up to a battery with a 400 watt inverter.. you can see me peddling fast enough to run my blender here.. jim
