$70 for the small, and $400 for the large...the price puts a brake on grabbing one, could build a small solar system for that. But if there's no sun for days, this sure would come in handy. Thanks for the video and information, this is a useful tool.💙👍

Harbor Freight Solar Panels and 1 battery would cost less then the pedal power. That would give you 100 watts approximately of energy with no pedaling.

[@vismike]

You still need cables, power inverter and solar charge controller.

[@ygrittesnow1701]

@@vismike Take a look at the Harbor Freight Solar kit. It has 4 25watt panels, cables and a 30amp charge controller with USB outlets. If you have the older charge controller it has two 12volt outlets as well as USB. On a sale you can get this kit for about 150 add a single battery from HF for 80 and you have a comparable system to what you have here for 230 dollars. With more power output then 1 or 3 amps. Granted it isn't as portable but... And these panels will work even if there is cloud over.

[@Layarion]

for 400$ you could just get a gas generator, with gas. question though, say you used it for 10 years, how well would it hold up? a battery wouldn't last for 10 years, so wondering if this fills a "can be counted on being in working condition when you need it" niche? like, is it low maintenance? it's plasistic, so my guess is no, because plastic gets brittle in no time.

Ive got the ktor power box 20. It has a 3pin 120v outlet and you can plug a wall extension into it and charge several cell phones. I have a power bank that can then charge a laptop and the powerbox can charge that too. Its a lot of work though for enough to then charge the laptop. Also can run a lamp straight through just the pedalling action. If you wanted to charge a 12v battery, it needs an actual battery charger that you can plug into it. I made a box like the one they use in their website and it does help with the angle of pedalling.

[@jerrymiller8313]

This is kind of off. You measure the voltage in the lawn mower battery but we see a slight increase how long does it take to get it to 13 volts? The disclaimer is given enough time, how much ? Can we see a shot of the fan directly plugged into the generator and say have someone pedal for ten min or so? It would be nice to show a chart on how much time it takes to charge a dead cell phone , tablet or battery to full charge.

[@SilverCymbal]

It's not a disclaimer, it's being honest. It depends on the capacity of the battery and to some degree the speed and intensity of pedaling and what state the battery is in to start. It could be minutes or hours, but if you are in a situation that this is the only option it won't matter much. As far as the fan, it will run as long as you pedal and thats a very small load. For iphones and others again it depends on the model and battery, but this is going to be to get you power to get through a situation.

[@kyledupont7711]

This is a really cool Idea, but the execution needs work, I have a hand crank flashlight, it is very dim and turns off quickly when you stop, you will Never be able to charge a phone this way its just too slow and time consuming. There has to be a better way to convert your energy into wattage. Perhaps the gearing on the pedal generator could be altered to spin the alternator faster, or maybe a capacitor system that can store the charge and feed it into the battery over a longer period. If you think about how quickly a car alternator brings your battery voltage from 12 to 14 volts in an instant, I see potential

[@jalenfever1786]

Wouldn't a solar power bank be more reliable and less work?

[@SilverCymbal]

Definitely less work, and reliable but not for some situations. If you have a cabin and you want a backup that can sit for months, even years with no maintenance for an absolutely backup this is it. Or traveling abroad, batteries in small devices can fail. . This kind of takes it to another level but if I was hiking or camping long term I would absolutely take a small one of these with me, as a backup.

Hey bud. Really enjoyed this video. Curious though... what is your background? Based on your fluke... EE?

[@teddywells6278]

There are actually a tonne of adaptors for that type of port. You can get one that converts the port into a wall outlet. Food for thought, they'd probably work with the goal zero batteries, then you've got a way of storing that energy. I imagine that'd give you more options too considering the amount of outputs on their batteries. You can actually plug power banks into a goal zero battery and increase the capacity impressively. Can't wait for the 21st century version of the goal zero line, they're gonna change the world. I'd connect both use one by hand, one by foot, lol.

@Franca Wong Actually it is, a guy from Serbia, same country where Nikola Tesla origins from (this u might've didn't know as well) did what u called impossible with a simple bicycle, which he of course tampered with and ingeniously made (your so called impossible) possible, by turning that bike in a generator (as you might come across these days), simply by pedaling the bike a few hours a day he made it "possible" to get free electricity for his home. This was on national TV back in 2010-11. And i guarantee u that many other people have done the same or even similar thing like this Serbian man did so stop being so ignorant and ask yourself if u are sure in something before u run off and just say it. (I will not say that its your fault, nor that its not your fault you didn't know this because you're too lazy to ask questions or too afraid that someone with the same mindset as yours might put you down if you do, like you did to the guy that asked something earlier). So woman, simply "GOOGLE IT" if you are not 100% sure in something, it doesn't require that much brain cells to just type something in the search bar. And to the guy asking why ppl dont already do this, simply because most ppl dont know how to do it, it requires time to learn something and time to do it, so its easier for you as well to pay a small amount of money to a company that has machines that produce electricity for billions of people to just hook u up with a bill without u breaking a sweat to figure out how it works or in this case to pedal for hours to get it for free. Also if companies start mass production of self sustainable power generators of a kind, the people that charge other people for power will go bankrupt (it's a chain reaction from there, think about it logically), because of the money they invested in making it work to be as simple as a bill at the end of the month. Simple business, supply and demand (but if ppl dont demand any more of your products (you sold them an infinite way to make power) that means your business wont last that long and it might turn up for your business to run bankrupt and end in you losing your investment in starting it, (so if you hold them depending upon your supplies, you will always have demand )THATS WHAT BUSINESS is all about.

[@donyoung3805]

@Franca Wong Lmao why dont you simply just google it like i have said already and now search up on how generators work. (Only then you can understand how a man powered up his household with a bike). U say basic math, i say get a book and start reading or in your case watch a tutorial because you probably dont know how to read (its impossible to gain knowledge simply by looking at letters all day right) And therefore if u knew how to read you wont be throwing around numbers of how much electricity can a cyclist produce (which cannot be calculated accurate because with using a different method of acquiring that info a cyclist (you dont need to be a cyclist to ride a bike) can produce a lot more than your 0.02kwh simply by having a different setup (by building the coil differently, and by using KNOWLEDGE - rare stuff) you can simply multiply the amount of power generated in 2minutes (as you have said). Fun fact for you! If we use your logical thinking (plus doing math at the same time so we dont end up being idiots like me and a humongous amount of ppl (normal ppl, professors, scientists, even children in schools)) than we can say that the "Peel P50" (slowest car in the world) will have the same horsepower and can reach the same speed in an hour as the "SSC Tuatara" (the fastest car in the world) simply by being driven by the same man, or (lets widen the circle) simply by being driven by professional racecar drivers, WHEN THEY HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT AND TYPE OF FUEL IN THEIR FUEL TANKS. From this example we can say that even if the engine is far superior than the other one, it wouldn't make any difference at all, just because you have calculated that the "Peel P50" has an engine that had a max of 60km/h top speed, NO OTHER ENGINE CAN EVER REACH HIGHER SPEEDS NO MATTER HOW YOU DRIVE OR WHO'S DRIVING. (to avoid confusion let's say that every engine has and can have the same kind and amount of fuel) So (lets go back to our original dilemma) what we have concluded is that no matter what changes i or someone else does to the bike (the one on which your average cyclist can only make 0.02kwh) there would be no way of increasing the amount of power being made, (i will say it once more) no matter what changes are made, no matter at all, the top power it can make and electricity produce would always be the same as from the experiment where from you gathered the informations from. It does sound absurd thinking with the same big brain as yours i have to say, you just made my day Franca, the problem with you is that you simply depend on just one source of information and thats that video with the toster (I haven't seen it but its prob where u planted it in your head that a cyclist has limit of power production (i have to go so u get the point (i cant type no more atm)) Small advice, dont get it wrong, know what you are saying, otherwise the only way you could win an argument is if the person opposing you is far less smarter or ready to oppose that same argument.

[@donyoung3805]

@Franca Wong Why are you so ignorant, I've seen it being done in person, I've never made a homemade generator but i will, (this is easy to understand what are u now getting here) you continue to go back to the pedal one. The way it works is that the pedals u see in the video have a small coil inbetween them, (the one u can get from an electric motor) within the box from which the pedals come out from and that one doesn't have batteries as u can see, nor it has the capacity or size to power a house. The power that its making is so small, simply because it is a cheap design, because if it was an expensive one majority of the ppl or buyers wouldn't buy it as much compared to if it was portable and cheap. The bigger the electric motor in between, that spins when u move the two pedals continuously, thanks to the magnets around it produce what u call electricity (thats simply said, the process would take terms to explain that i may misspell, but i have said it simpler and clearer already, so no need for me to explain some school grade electric classes in a comment when u can simply look it up on the net). To power a house u need an electric motor, (you can extract it from almost any electric machine nowadays) and by simply 30minute rewiring tops you can be almost at half the way, next u have the batteries, that u will need to store the excess power u make in the at some point in the day, next to that u will need other kinds of electrical supplies to finish and multiply the power outage of your homemade generator (now those will cost u plenty, next to the batteries that will have a weight on your wallet as well). What u now need is to correctly assemble all of those in order to avoid malfunction or best in the worst to avoid getting smaller power production from your build. I'm once more assuring you that it's possible to make a bike powered generator, like i have said i have already seen it being done and seen it work, problem is not many people know how to do it, and because of that u say its impossible, simply because you haven't seen the people in your circle on which your ego is dependable on do it and you say it's impossible. (ex. When u see and touch water u don't get electrocuted, but how is it then that thank to that same water u have electricity at your house (now this is completely different from what your dilemma is at but is it) now centuries ago people didn't have electricity because they didn't KNOW how to aquire it from that same water)- you would call that impossible as well. You simply cannot call everything you dont understand impossible. Look up free electricity on the net and u will get what i tried explaining to you, u probably had a class about it in school but i kinda think you were more into staring out from the window type of kid, so your not knowing simple stuff doesn't surprise me.

Wish there was something that could he done about the noise.

[@huirongjin]

It’s not about which country it’s made in. It’s about the marketing strategy and targeted consumers.

Never charge devices directly from them. Charge a power bank first. Or USB powerbank with pass through

[@PatrioticAmerican-d6h]

Ask Rick Sanchez how they work

[@Mephmt]

Yikes! $395 for the peddle one.

[@SilverCymbal]

It is expensive, no doubt but for some situations it could be perfect.

In ancient Rome or Egypt we wouldn't have problems to find people to work on these "power generators", hahaha 😂😂😂

Why not portable solar charger?

[@DavitMikheilShubladze]

there is no way i pay for this almost $500 :D how that even possible? for this price, you can get 5 solar panels ea. 100W. something is wrong with producer's pricing system.

Why aren't these on television

[@michaelgordon2031]

If I bought the pedal version, I wouldn't attach the feet, just attach my drill and go

[@antdx316]

shit, $445? Towards the end of the day, even with a 160W panel setup, it only charges 13W. Seeing that do 30W+ is awesome. On a 60W panel setup, I was only getting 1-3W. At night there is no hope to recharge unless you have that.

[@1stMikeWhite]

I'm waiting for someone to create an actual manpower rechargeable bike or something that can charge multiple batteries to charge things. Something with proof of what it can charge and how long you need to ride to charge it.
