The mighty exhaust pipe speakers sound even better.
But while we're at
it. There are those game controls for your chair, that can vibrate and
probably siomluate some other shocking experiences. Why not integrate
that in the settle?
Not sure that's necessary - the roads around Bristol are bumpy enough as
it is!
Wait a second: How powerful do you need to be to drive
all these
gadgets with the dynamo?
I once calculated approximately that when I'm cycling hard up a gentle
hill, I can probably develop a peak power of around 300W. Maybe this is
more like 100-150W sustained power.
Assuming that most of that power goes into forward kinetic energy, I
don't know how much I could tap off to run my on-board synthesiser,
gaming chair, amp, speakers, headlights, and champagne cooler.
Maybe I should fit a generator?
