In this video I will be using a car alternator in combination with an old bicycle in order to create my own electrical energy. Along the way I will show you how a car alternator works and how we can use it with a bike. That includes electrical and mechanical modifications in order to reach the best output performance of the alternator. At the end I will then show you how much power I was able to create and whether I could power my home with it. Let's get started!
