i want to build a bike generator, but all the diy vids i see make it obvious that you have to constantly pedal to power anything. is there a way to store the electricity i create, instead of it all getting used immediately?
Did you even look at the picture you posted? What the hell is this thread?
Electricity is cheaper than food.

flat out at your hardest possible pedaling, you'll be putting out about 250W. You'll only be able to geep that up a few seconds.
Continuously, you can usefully put out 60-80 or so if you're in shape.
So, like, you can charge a cell phone in half an hour or so, or run an oven... if you get 15-20 friends.
Why are you doing this?

Well damn, this makes me want to slap a chainsaw motor onto a bicycle now that I'm aware physically of how much one horsepower really is.
