Building a Bike Generator

Описание: Own a bike? Want to be able to turn it into a stationary exercise bike? Want to harness that energy, rather than just waste it all as heat, wind, and noise?

Want to teach someone about engineering, science, electronics, or energy conservation?

This video will walk you through my latest project of building a homemade human-powered bike generator and explain how I did it in a way that lets you still easily use the bike outside, inside with the resistance unit, or generate electricity!
