Hey DIY-types: Wondering how you can make your very own cycle-powered generator? Check out this site, which’ll walk you through the process. Though it claims not to be a step-by-step for a specific set-up, it will give you the basic information you need on materials (what you need and where to look for them), generators, cogs and wheels, and even the skinny on old bikes versus exercise bikes. Just what you need to get your motor running. Thanks for the tip Brad Raley! ::How to make a cycle-powered generator [by MO]
