Make un attachment so after you get the DC motor running you can stick it in BOOM free energy

which software do you use, it's so great

this would have been handy when my car battery died not long ago

Charging up some super caps then plugging your phone in might make a better charger since you could crank for a few mins at high resistance every now and then.

Put this on a stationary bike. Charge while burning some calories

Nice application of physics fundamentals. Impressive.

If you made more gears from large to small you can make it spin faster with fewer turns and less energy spent.

Where can I buy one of these or something like it?

Please make a 100 in a raw

Can you create leg callipers to attach to the generator so that you can walk and crank as you hike along a footpath?

Calmed down Electroboom

Modify it so that it can be attached to a bike (rear axle?) and charge your phone on the way to work/university/school?

... interesting choice of connector(obviously the easiest rather than usb/whatever)😊🤭 otherwise well done 👍 thanks 😍

hi, what if we need to add ailerons? thank you

Kudos for posting the Stl files, dude. 🎉

The concept it self is not that impressive but the desgine of the motor is amazing, hope tear damage won't wearout the plastic parts

This idea would be really cool as pedals under your desk to power a computer so you can get excercise while working or gaming or whatnot. I think I've seen exercise bikes and rowing machines that say they generate electricity I wonder if it's with a similar method

Its a shame you put so much into rigidity and overkill on everything for rigidity, than install lead screws instead of ball screws :/ the amount of play they have compared to ball screws just undermines all the rigidity work you did for the produced parts to be as accurate as possible. Putting the screw so high on the machine also increases the leaver on which the forces will be aplying stress to the gantry. It would be beter to mount it between the rails or below the extrusion. also X is probably not as smooth because of 2 things: You are runing them dry in the video, so grease will help. i wouldnt run them dry like that at all. And when you mount the rails, it depends if you checked for parallelism...basicaly tightening them after the plate is mounted with the help of a dial and soft hammer :)

I'm curious. The last time I saw a KZbinr charge a phone with a hand-operated generator, the phone started smoking. :D

Hi Tim, very cool! I have built some hardware for flightsims (I use X-plane 11) like rotary encoders for controlling flight instruments and GPS/Radio/Autopilot. I like helicopters a lot and I am very interested in your project! Besides a yoke and throttle quadrant, including trimwheel, I have a good joystick (X52), but the expirience with the hardware you built would be way better. We (my wife and me) like the UK very much, been there often for holidays! Cheers from The Netherlands (North-East).

Make something that can generate 220v

FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER

Now give people a reason to workout on a indoor bike by making a energy harvesting weight loss generating bike

Add your air motor to the build so you can convert air to electricity

Thx information

Energy gained through generation: 0.6 watts Energy lost through friction: 0.7 watts Energy expended turning the crank: 2.1 watts

thanks!

شكرا

Now build a small windmill, and you can have a wind-generated battery charger.

Does this method no longer work? After pressing the combine function and selecting the outer shell as the target body and the ribs as the tool bodies it creates a bunch (100+) smaller bodies. any ideas what I am doing wrong?

What if you make it a vertical wind turbine like portable

Build a paddle wheel and you’ve got an unlimited money hack..hahah only joking m8, thank you so much for these videos.

great 😀

My favourite generator is the sine wave generator.

pretty cool

Hey Mr. Tom. I hope you are doing good. I'm from India. I love your videos and the way you explain. I have been watching your videos from past 2 years. My journey to this amazing channel was when I searched for ebike build videos. Since then I have followed you Since I changed my account I list my subscribe list. But then thanks to yt I remembered your channel back. I was actually planning to buy a car alternator for this project but then you came in and saved thousands of rupees. Thank you so much. Please keep up the great work😊😊😊.

I want one :)

his phone need 1h to charge from 45% to 100%, so I gues around 2 hours from 0-100%, I can assume that his battery is around 3300 mAh, That is the exactly capacity of single cell of Tesla Model S with has 5040 cells, so If he wanted to charge TESLA with this thing it would take over 10080 hours with is over 1 year, (420 days to be precise)

Has anyone got a wiring diagram of this?

It might be 2030 by the time this is finished.

Crocodile clips. LOL. Try Alligator clips.

Add battery to top and cover the crank gear

Why hasn't anyone created bikes with these generators for home-use? That way people can get cardiovascular exercises and charge batteries up too! Forget Peloton! Welcome, Electron!

I REALLY want to make this for some reason. One part of me feels like there's no point, because of the electricity we readily have, but the other part of me thinks that this could help me be more self-sufficient and off-the-grid, or something. Anyways, 2-3 hours to charge a phone is actually extremely impressive. And if you made a generator from a bicycle, you could probably charge it even faster!

I can hear Medhi saying "FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER!" in my head

Hey Tom,greetings from Bulgaria,are you sure about those thin stretchers(2mmrod)i believe they are helping with those big flimsy ribs. You think?

Very cool

Sir can we add more gears for accelerating the rotation speed

Awesome project, I printed one and was able to get 10 watts.
