People powered generator



Mike was working today on a pedal powered generator. We started with a pedal assembly that was donated by Erika O'Brien. We are adding a permanent magnet motor to use as a generator, and a regulator system. When it is finished, a person will be able to sit in their favorite chair and power their computer while burning calories. Pedaling to watch TV will also be an option. The photos show the crude prototype that we are building to test the output of the generator.
