This was designed for use by children. It is a sit-down type and can generate up to 30W
at approx 12V. It has mainly been used to power a sound system which gives a great
demonstration of the power generated along with allowing me to play upbeat funk and soul music.
It has also been used to power a small tv (for a Wimbledon final) and a water fountain. It was
built almost totally from scrap materials that would otherwise have gone to waste.
The main problem with this generator is that it is not easily portable due to its size.
