   Here�s a way to make a charging system out of a car alternator and a bicycle. (http://www.c-realevents.demon.co.uk/altgen/altpedgen.htm)  I posted this on another Message but thought it deserved its own post. We ordered the Resistors from here  (http://www.mouser.com/index.cfm?handler=displayproduct&lstd ispproductid=361329&e_categoryid=354&e_pcodeid=71014)

We have a Couple of bicycles that will work and have a couple of alternators. Almost anything will work for building the rest of it from stuff lying around the garage. Thought this would be something to have for a backup system. Also would be good exercise when we can�t do anything else. Must stay in shape.

	Yay the dual function of getting exercise and generating power makes this a worthy idea indeed
