Quick guide for the search
X


  • Wildcard-Search
    With the help of a so-called wildcard you can look for several search words, which have the same word beginning. If you search e.g. for "Typo*", the search will find everything that begins with "Typo" : Typo3, Typoscript, Typocode, Typo3user... etc.
  • Negative search
    If you do not want to find certain expressions in your search result, you can cause this with placing a hyphen in front. Terms containing this phrase are excluded from the search result.
  • Search for user
    It is possible to limit the search result on answers of certain users. In addition to the retrieval query attach still another "user:username" and find the results, which were written by this certain user. If the username could not be found this will be ignored.

Thanks for another great festival!

Me an my friends were very happy for the bikes for charging our phones at Odeon (and other places). We met other people, let people who had forgotten their chargers ours, talked about the weather, arranged turns so everyone did their fair share - and I even fixed one of the bikes that wasn't working (loose wiring had caused the fuse to kick out).

So - to my question. I did take some pictures of the bikes and I do have a basic understanding of what is going on, so now I want to built my own to reduce my own power usage at home (and during the wintertime it will keep me fit on those days when the weather is just too grim for biking or anything else), but.. I would really like to know if the specs for the componentes used are publicly available anywhere? I know someone at DTU made them, but I can't find anything closer than a press release mentioning them on the DTU website.

My idea is to hook the bike up to a battery so I can store power for a 12v LED on my desktop (the light I use the very most) along with 12v connectors as in a car to attach a 12-5v USB-adapter (for charging units that can be charged through USB) and finally an inverter for delivering 220v for units that requires that.

Best Regards

PS: for the first time this year, my friend and I biked all the way back and forth to Roskilde with all our gear - he did 33km in each direction (from Copenhagen) and I did 62km (from Kokkedal). It. was. awesome icon_smile.gif
