Hello,
I'm working on an education & fundraising project that involves using a hub motor as a generator on a bike, pretty much exactly like what Martin described in this thread: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb...ycle-dynamos&p=3177070&viewfull=1#post3177070
The generator I have also outputs 24V.
My problem is figuring out an efficient (primarily from a financial standpoint--I'm actually not very concerned about energy efficiency) way of charging the 12V battery. I don't understand the circuitry surrounding the battery in the diagram Martin drew.
Could someone help explain or suggest a good way to do this?
Thanks!
