I asked a while ago about this, but I there was still some confusion in my mind. My ultimate goal is to use power electric heating coil from human powered bike. I was wondering, I will I be able to create enough power to power the coil?
Here's what I have so far: I took the motor out from an old fan, and I was thinking about directly connecting that to the bike. My question is would that work? If so, about how much power will I be able to get out of it? Am I going to need anything like an inverter? or can I just connect to the two end terminals to the coil, and that would work? Also, am I going to need a diode? Basically, what I am trying to ask is how would I put everything together? I have bits of info, just need to figure everything out.
Also, as for the coil, how does the wattage rating work? I am thinking of using maybe like a teapot coil..
Thanks for all your help in advance!!
