Small powersource based on motion needed!

dxw00d:
Bicycles have had dynamos for decades. Why not use one of them?

Bicycle lighting - Wikipedia

because i want to avoid wiring over the bike :wink:

Far-seeker:
After some thought, an alternative came to me. Why don't you just use the bike chain to rotate a small generator/alternator?

Do you think that would produce less friction than a dynamo on the tire? Definitely something worth looking into!
