Topic: PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION OF BICYCLES, GENERATORS, DYNAMOS
The bicycle electrical power supply is in a few different methods but this section will treat the method where a dynamo is used. A dynamo is a generator but supplies direct current (D.C.) only. The other generator is referred to as “alternator” because its output is collected via slip rings instead of split rings or commutators.
Operation: The dynamo is hinged for huge movement but with a firm bracket. When in use, it is pushed against the cycle tyre on its nulled rubber cap which is free to rotate at the pedaling speed of the rider.
