2. Bottle dynamo - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottle_dynamo

   Bottle dynamo mounted on a bicycle. Dismantled bottle dynamo. Left: Housing with internal permanent magnet rotating through the friction wheel. Right: Induction coil. A bottle dynamo or sidewall dynamo is a small electrical generator for bicycles employed to power a bicycle's lights.

3. Hub dynamo - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hub_dynamo

   A hub dynamo is a small electrical generator built into the front hub of a bicycle wheel that is usually used to power lights. Often the hub "dynamo" is not actually a dynamo, which creates DC, but a low-power magneto that creates AC. Most modern hub dynamos are regulated to 3 watts at 6 volts, although some will drive up to 6 watts at 12 volts.

4. Dynamo - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamo

   "Dynamo Electric Machine" (end view, partly section, U.S. patent 284,110) A dynamo is an electrical generator that creates direct current using a commutator.Dynamos were the first electrical generators capable of delivering power for industry, and the foundation upon which many other later electric-power conversion devices were based, including the electric motor, the alternating-current ...

5. Magneto - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto

   Most commonly, a small magneto, termed a bottle dynamo, rubs against the tire of the bicycle and generates power as the wheel turns. More expensive and less common but more efficient is the hub dynamo that rotates neodymium magnets around a copper coil in a claw pole cage inside the hub of a wheel.

6. Electric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

   Human powered electric generators are commercially available, and have been the project of some DIY enthusiasts. Typically operated by means of pedal power, a converted bicycle trainer, or a foot pump, such generators can be practically used to charge batteries, and in some cases are designed with an integral inverter.

7. eROCKIT - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EROCKIT

   A drive belt transmits the pedal rotation to a small generator that both feeds electricity into the system and triggers current for the motor controller. The rear wheel is powered by an electric motor, connected through an additional drive belt, which is also used as a brake recuperation system to return braking energy to the batteries.
