Hi,
I am planning to start a project called "Green power from paddling". The plan is to install a dynamo in a bicycle with a rechargeable battery to store the electricity generated by paddling. I want to test if a person drives a bicycle for 1hr, how much electricity he can produce and finally store in the battery.
So I have got mainly two queries.
1. How much a person can generate electricity while peddling a bicycle for 1hr.
2. If i generate x amount of electricity what is the best way to store this power so that i can use it as electricity.
Regarding my 1st query, actually I want to set up a dynamo in a bicycle and test how much electricity can be generated. So pls let me know what kind of dynamo for this kind of purpose is appropriate and what is the best way to get maximum output for this project.
Regarding my second query, So I want to install the battery in the bicycle so let me know what kind of battery will be appropriate and also let me know the weight of the battery.
Finally if I want to do the test for 7-8hrs long, how much electricity can be generated and what kind (power + weight) of battery is appropriate?
Pls note: I m considering that the Pedaling is not consistent. For example, I will continue pedaling for 10mins then will take some rest, maybe after 5mins again start pedaling. At the end of the day I want to check how much electricity stored.
