Looking for someone to set up bicycle generator
-
Interested in starting up a personal project to build a DIY bicycle generator but not knowledgeable about the technical portions.
Looking for someone with the possible technical knowhow and interested in participating.
This isn't for profit or entrepreneurship, just as a personal interest.
If interested, please PM me.

My main interest, however is to finding out how to build one not get a ready made one.Most of the results are overseas,too.

You mean capacity ?But actually i can't really answer you. The whole idea is to find out what sort of power i could generate with it and what considerations i need to know to put it together.
Granted the power i could produce is a joke, but it's more a personal interest than anything.

I was actually hoping the link would give you some idea where to start your search.

Ideally to charge a battery and attempt to use it to power a fan/charging ipods/handphones/television and see how much manpower it requires to power them. As well as see the possibilities of converting it to more home appliance uses.The purpose is to find out how to build one with just parts you can get from stores, instead of a ready made one.
I'm just looking for someone with the technical knowhow for me to get started(what parts to get for one, how to measure the power being generated and how to convert it so home appliances can be plugged into it).
The point is just to build it, of course it's a waste of time by anyone's standards. But i'm just interested to try it out.

Heh google was the first place i tried.Unfortunately there's too much technical information for me to fully understand it, or it's just advertisement for ready made ones.

You could try switching your search parameters, for example, you need not keep using the same 2 words.
Even so, the ready made ones already gave you some idea what the components required are, you can then detail your search into each individual item or area.

most handheld gadgets are on DC current n most home appliances are on AC current
u need to know wat u wan first n most of the time u cannot have both worlds. shorten your scope and focus on 1 at a time
to solve a prolbem, u need to understand the problem first
