I would like to make a human powered generator for an art project.</p><p>I am curious if a couple of NEMA 34 motors is large enough to capture all the power that a human can generate.</p><p>I'm looking at a couple of applications.</p>
<p>1) To run a 120V toaster. I suspect this might need as many as 5 people to peddle. Also to run a 60W incandescence bulb.</p><p>2) To charge a 12V battery.</p><p>I'm suspecting that a stepper motor is a good candidate to make the electricity. I think the first part of the project is to make up some BOMs that show what motor to use, the RPM that it would require and parts for a rectifier and whatever else is necessary to operate in these applications.</p>
<p>Does anybody know of any existing projects or have any recommendations?</p></span>
