Thanks for the info guys. I am actually thinking that I will do the bike generator. I have an idea to use a big heavy flywheel with an 18 speed mountain bike set up on a stand. I have a few options for generators. 2 tread mill motors. I also Have a neat little 1000 watt single cyl gas generator that I never use. The gas tank leaks. ( I could fix it easily). It has both ac and dc plugs on it. I was thinking that I may just remove the re-coil and spark plug and connect it to the bike via a sprocket. I realize the cylinder going up and down would give a good bit of resistance but I could experiment without destroying the entire unit, so I could return it to its normal state of use. I suppose I could also use it to produce some compressed air . It may be a while but I will post some pics of the progress. If it works well enough I will use the power it produces to run the computer when I post the pics.
