Abstract

This page is about the "Tour De Volts" project for the Waterpod from the Spring 2009 "Introduction to Design" class at Cal Poly Humboldt. We propose to use a bicycle as a power source to provide a bit of extra energy to the Waterpod. Specifically, we've used a bike trainer to convert a DC motor from a scooter into an electrical generator. This will be on the Waterpod for six months and will serve as an educational tool.
