oh and i did post a link for a dynamo too
and yes its important for it to be be viable after the bikes got a bit fucked...which is the good side of a pulley belt.

one thing i was thinking was if we all do some experiments and write about what we try, we could probably come up with a small unit that you just clip on and plug in and start pedalling....like a standard thing for anyone who wants it....i have been looking at various thing to do with making generators and such like so ill continue to do so....the idea in my brain is something like a circular clip on thing, and basically you clip the centre of it onto the centre of the back wheel, so it stays stationary, and then clip the outer part of it onto the spokes, so when you pedal, the middle stays still and the outside moves around, whack some magnets and copper wire into the mix and hopefully it'd make some energies!.....still very much a rough idea though...but ill keep looking into it and hopefully get it to the point where i got enough of a picture to do a prototype

oh and heres a pdf

If you want to keep the bike fit for purpose why not invest in a dunohub ( Son for example).

If the bike os your BOV, you could simply upend it when at your BOL fix card or fabfic in the spokes like windmill sails and let the wind turn it as a wind turbine???

I bet that'll be harder to do in practice, but its an interesting thought??
