Free Plans To Build your own Bicycle Generator Pedal Power Station. Fauna. Bicycle Powered Generator. I skim a few Usenet newsgroups daily, among them misc.survivalism and alt.energy.homepower. Frequently posters on these two groups will inquire about generating electricity using a stationary bike coupled to some sort of generator. Most replies are to the effect that while it’s possible to do this, the amount of power output by such a rig when pedaled by the average person wouldn’t be worth the effort. I wasn’t convinced that this idea was a lost cause. I decided to build one and see how well it worked. Because bikes are made in a range of sizes to match their rider’s stature I wanted to build the generator as an accessory which could be driven by any ordinary bicycle. To make a long story short I bought the most versatile training stand I could find and then did extensive modifications to the roller assembly.
I have done quite a few tests to see how much output power could be produced and what practical applications there were.
