Abstract
A generator powered by a stationary bicycle for the purposes of generating electricity for fitness club appliances is considered. A generator is connected to a stationary bicycle in such a way as the circular rotation of the front wheel rotates the coils of wires inside the generator between the poles of the magnets inside the generator. The resulting Direct Current is channeled to the attached battery bank and converted into different usable DC voltage levels as well as AC voltage, just to increase the number of electrical appliances possible to connect.
