Hi, I'm looking to build a device for my bike that will:
Use a dynamo to charge a central battery pack that will then be used to power some LED lights. I wish for the charging to be continuous: the battery is constantly being charged (provided I am pedalling) and the light's can be turned on or off. The battery must be sufficient to power the lights for at least 10 minutes without pedalling.
So far my rough idea is to use a small motor and some kind of grip that runs along the wheel edge to act as the dynamo. After this I'm completely stumped.
I'm not looking for circuit diagrams or anything (but feel free to provide them if you want), just a general summary of how you think I could arrange this project.
Thanks!
