Im making a pedal power bike to charge a 12v AGM battery through a controller.
Does anybody have any thoughts on the best rewiring option for the smart drive?
2X7C
7X2C
7X2Cdelta
or maybe
7Phase 3X2C

Any suggestions would be most helpful

Many Thanks
Tim

How fast do you want to pedal? Direct drive, or will you use a chain and sprocket drive where you can try different ratio's.

Also, which stator do you have, a 60, 80 or 100?

Have you seen the pedal power page http://www.thebackshed.com/Windmill/articles/PedalPower.asp

The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now.
