    Motor / Battery Recharge

    We'll that makes alot more sense to me, since I am only an amature in electronics. However for curiosity if a tiny motor was hooked up to the large motor (tiny motor would be a simple toy motor) and it was geared to go 50x faster than the large motor, would'nt it provide a generous amount of...

    Motor / Battery Recharge

    The total weight is 160 pounds, including everything. Why would it be impossible to charge it, since most magnetos have 60-80% efficiency, and a 12 volt car battery under the load would last 10-20 minutes i'd imagine. Now if 75% of the energy is being put back into the battery continuously it...

    Electrical Power From Bike

    My idea is to have an electric motor attached to a bike. What I need to know is if a magneto can be hooked up to the pedals/wheels/motor itself to automatically generate the needed electricity for the motor. It would be a self sustaining process that wouldn't require massive heavy batteries...
