No pedals and not a motorcycle, maybe it is a scooter or pocket bike. On sunny days I can charge using solar pannels and sunshine.

Thekpv gained momentum in the summer of 2008 by Terry Hope. After approximately a thousand hours of e-bike research and development his DIY micro mobility electric vehicle concept materialized with four goals:

Engineer a electrical circuit with an mechanical system to capture, store and harvest electrical power.

Use alternative energy for a prototype electro-solar hybrid.

Eliminate extra greenhouse gas emissions and lower the carbon footprint by recharging the battery pack off-the-grid.

Construct a vehicle with a solar pannels & small enough foot print to be stowed away inside a Samsonite suitcase for easy transport.

Right now, I am just powering a battery charger for D, C, AAA, AA and 9volt batteries. So far its been very easy to work with. I will do some more experimenting with lighting and other 12 volt appliances and post the results.

The generator is a simple dc motor from pump. The whole system is charging a 3s2p pack of 2500mah nimh AA batteries, for a total of 6 at 3.8 volts. The left meter is amps and the right is the battery voltage. The pole is a 4 inch drainage pipe that is 10 ft long.

The max power ever recorded with this windmill is 30.4 watts (3.4 amps @ 9 volts). The rpm max is roughly 3000 rpm, about 1400rpm at 1 amp. I made this entire project in about 5 hours plus design time.

This is not “How to make PV Solar Cells”.
It is possible to home-make Copper Oxide and other kinds of materials but that is a whole nother story which I may do in the future.
I may be a little bit ambitious to try to show you how I made PV Solarpanels out of various types of cells I collected and how and where I obtained them rather inexpensively
