exercise bike generators
I have a generator. I want to power a light bulb - preferably not a 12volt DC bulb. How can I power the bulb?
The generator is small, with a wheel that has be turned to power it (I will do this with an exercise bike). It has cable coming out of it, and this is currently hooked into a female car cigarette lighter. This will have a male cigarette DC to AC converter, from which I want to hook up power outlet with at least three new energy saver spiral bulbs to light. Is there an easier way to do this? Do I need to use 12 volt DC bulbs? Do I even need to use the cigarette lighter to convert the power? Also, do I need a Diode or a Regulator? If so, what kind and where can I get it? Thanks!!!
No, you can cut the cable and connect it directly to the light bulbs (12v) or to the inverter which will generate 120 VAC.
I don't think you need a regulator.
As you petal, how much voltage does the generator put out? At top speed? if it's more than 14 volts, you can burn out your inverter or your 12v light bulbs.
I'm assuming the generator puts out DC, not AC, which would be totally different set of answers.
If you are just going to light some bulbs, it would be much more efficient to use 12V LED type lights, then go through an inverter to get 120 VAC.
