Generator Project
Submitted by dante on Sun, 12/09/2007 - 14:56.HI
I am on The Pleasant Revolution Tour. I designed and built 4 bike generators for an expedition tour though Mexico. I am currently working on these prototypes on this tour. I would like to keep you all informed of my progress.
Each bike has a generator that can be engaged on the fly, or set up on a center stand, to generate power while moving or stationary. There is a 12-volt 6amp Lith. Phos. battery that can be charged with a solar panel (BRUNON foldable 12v 26w panel), or with the Generator. Any 12v device can run off the 12v Batt., solar panel, or the generator.

How to take part in a cruiser ride 300 miles away without burning any fossil fuels
Submitted by fossilfool on Sun, 12/02/2007 - 14:46.Kipchoge and Wild Johnny kept inviting me to the Pleasant Revolution tour stop in Redondo Beach.
I really wanted to cruise and perform with my friends, not to mention take part in a huge Xtracycle / Down Low Glow rally, but I didn't have a way to get there. I haven't had significant-other access to a vehicle since February, there wasn't a carpool option, and the idea of flying or renting an SUV to get to a bike ride didn't ziggle with my zooglea, as we say in the Kombucha business.
So ended I staying up all night Friday, making them a special Fossil Fool cruising mix in Ableton Live, complete with shoutouts, DJ beatmatching, and crossfades. We're talking crossfades, people! Apparently it went over really well. See google chat transcript below with Kipchoge.
