Generating Electricity from a Bicycle Dynamo

The proposed mini-electricity generator project is very simple to build and can be
used by students as a school project, or just for hobbyists. The set up can be used
to charge a battery with electricity produced from wind power.

A dynamo is a type of alternator commonly associated

with bicycles for generating electricity that is used for lighting a small head lamp.
The unit eliminates the need of a battery and provides an easy alternative for
illuminating a lamp whenever the bicycle is in motion.
A dynamo is a pretty interesting little generator which starts generating pure
electricity the moment its wheel is rotated. Basically, it works on the fundamental
principles of electromagnetism where current is induced in coils of copper wire
under the influence of a rotating magnetic flux, generated by alternate shifting of
the magnets North and south poles.
