Unlike a dynamo, Active Kinetic 1 mini generators operate using pulse impacts of kinetic energy to convert to electricity. Traditional bicycle dynamos use mechanical energy generated by the rider’s pedalling motion, into electrical energy. The mechanical energy consumed compromises the riders labour by impeding the cycle of the wheels creating more work.
The energy gained from an Active Kinetic 1 generator depends on the terrain, however, most bicycle journeys will generate generous amounts of electricity.
The technology is ideal for electric bikes as the energy is generated by the natural movement of the bike operating independently from the bikes battery. Conserves wasted energy, reduces additional energy loss to generate free electricity extending the range of the battery. DEMO —>
