I made a discovery recently in my search
for some accurate and free pedal power details.
Pedalpowergenerator.com is a one stop shopping spot for everything
pedal power. The prices seem fair, and the pictures and diagrams are
easy to follow and understand.
We acquired an old exercise bike recently and I'm sure we can modify it
to produce small amounts of electricity. Thanks to pedalpowergenerator.com
I'm a few steps closer to understanding why a charge controller is
important and where the 15 amp blocking diode is wired. The guy who
runs the site is Brad, and he only requests a few pictures of your
project if you use his plans, and to be safe and take normal
precautions.
