Human Powered Domestic Lighting In Rural India
In remote villages of India, many families cannot afford electricity to illuminate their homes. Many in such areas would love to possess a source of light to dispel darkness and by which to study, . . .

Truly amazing invention and video. Nice to know that there are people like you who are devoted to helping the less fortunate.
Why, thank you

He might be better off putting magnets on the spokes with pickup coils as frictiongenerators lose a lot of energy.. and wear out the tire.but great concept.
I agree with you. I had two things in mind – to integrate the expended energy into the daily activities and to make it low cost. Bicycle parts helped in keeping the cost within $18, which is recovered shortly from the saving of kerosene. To minimize tire wear, a replaceable plastic cap on the tip of the dynamo is being used. I wish to see this for not only providing lights to many but also employment to some by way of assembly and maintenance of the units. Thanks for your appreciation.
you might look into aluminum can and copper pipe batteries in plastic bottles cut off. each produce a little over .5 volts. You can even us urine as the electrolyte. a large bank of these can charge nicad batteries.
This idea is worthy of funding for more studies. Seems like it could be adapted to work in unlimited ways. This would benefit many many people around the world.
Not a bad idea, but I doubt its cost effectiveness. Have to take care of animal rights activists as well. The cost of the animal and its upkeep has to be considered unless the animal is already being used for turning something like a grindwheel or for drawing a cart. Using muscle power to produce electricity is not a new concept, so the primary objective of this project was to integrate this expenditure of human power into the daily chores of the users in a cost effective way.
