Already sent this to rbt, but...
During the winter I sometimes ride on a trainer, and think about how
much energy I'm expending and how it would be cool to harness it to
power, say, my espresso maker.
I finally did a quick google and found this:
http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3ab928b76932.htm
which is pretty close to what I envisioned. He uses this contraption to
charge batteries that power devices.
Has anyone seen a marketed version of something like this produced? I'm
not electrical engineer, and for the right price I'd be happy to forgo
the experimentation.
And, yes, I'm well aware of friction light generators. I have two of
them.
