Title: powering a small dc motor with a bicycle dynamo
Post by: R.Negus on May 06, 2010, 05:25:07 pm
Is it possible to power a small dc motor (3-6v) with a 6v/3watt bicycle dynamo generator? im not a cyclist or electrician so simple answers would be greatly appreciated

Im an artist currently working on kinetic sculpture, the piece is intended to be a pedal powered fan which requires more effort than the resulting activity should require. my work often has this kind of anticlimactic nature which i find interesting however ive not made anything quite of this nature before, all suggestions and comments are very welcome :)

Cheers
Rob
