Power Your TV, Cell Phone, or Laptop by Pedaling (TreeHugger)

Whereas the video of him playing the video game isn’t that thrilling, the concept that he proves will work with is rather interesting.

The high speed start up is what keeps me from using an old stationary bike for this. Problem is the wheel is too small. Could use a smaller pulley on the alternator. May look and see if a knerled sleeve would fit over the alternator shaft where the pulley mounts and try for a spring loaded drive right off the wheel. That might get the speed up enough to self energize. Will have to do some math and see how close I can come that way.
