  • Can you use and DC motor? Is there an upper limit to how much power you could create? Im going back to school and This is the type of thing I would love to get into.

  • @lewisflight Well theoretically, you could generate as much power as your legs can output, minus the losses of transmission. It's difficult enough to maintain 15 volts though.

  • how did u convert the motor into a generator?impressive

  • Permanent magnet (DC) motors work forwards and backwards. Rotating the shaft creates electrical energy, but electrifying the wires work the opposite way to create mechanical energy.

  • Did you do any testing to find out what voltage/currents you could get from the motor?

  • The motor was putting out around 14 or 15 volts at the rate i was pedaling in the video. I could probably get it up around 17 or 18 in short bursts.
