I dont know if this is a good idea but i used my 12v 6w ac generator for my bicycle to power a 15w soldering iron.
I used a kind of bad transformer that made it up to 200v and added it to the soldering iron and after only 2 minutes of pedaling it was hot.
I want to make a low watt heating system for metal water/coffee containers connected to a bicycle so when you arrive wherever your tea/coffee/hot water is still warm. Would this be a waste of energy and is there a lower wattage heating thing i could use instead? (not very knowledgable about electronics yet).
Thanks in advance
