How to build a bike generator with control panel
I was curious whether they talked about the practicality of the whole setup, and they do, e.g.<p>&gt; Electric kettles that run on grid power are often very powerful and boil water in a matter of minutes or even seconds. Boiling water using a bicycle generator will take a lot more time, but it’s perfectly possible. We acquired a commercial 12V electric kettle with a vacuum insulated reservoir of one litre. During a test, boiling water for one cup of tea took slightly more than one hour at an average power production of 60W.<p>To be honest, although I realize it would be ridiculous, but if inverters were small and cheap, I would personally prefer having an exercise bike plugged into the grid. That way my exercise energy would at least be useful to someone, somewhere.
