That ain't 6v :-( The phenomenon is called cogging and is the result of stator and rotor magnetic paths aligning in a state that has reduced magnetic energy. You can greatly reduce it by “twisting” either the rotor or the stator so that one pole of the rotor bridges two adjacent stator poles, but that costs money. That would make it feel nicer when spinning by hand, but do you think it would make any real performance difference? I have my doubts. Not much, unless the vibration from the cogging really annoyed you, but it would sure feel more impressive when you spun it by hand, which might sell one or two units. I get the impression that most hub dynamos are actually sold in complete bikes. Building one's own wheels with hubs bought in a shop where you could fondle them ahead of time is right up there with using a hook to button one's shoes. I can fondle them at a few places here in Portland. https://www.universalcycles.com/comp...er%20Precision I got my SP PD8 at Western Bikeworks on sale, but they quit carrying them, probably because sales were near zero. https://www.westernbikeworks.com/pro...namo-front-hub It says "currently out of stock," but it doesn't even appear when you search their site. I can even go fondle a Schmidt hub, but I think you have to swipe a credit card before doing that. https://www.joe-bike.com/product/sch...o-hub-1806.htm https://www.universalcycles.com/comp...ompany=Schmidt https://www.clevercycles.com/schmidt...ed-silver.html I got my over-priced Luxos B at Clever. I was riding around with my dyno the other night along with my L&M 800 lumen all in one -- which I switched on any time I really needed to see something, which was a lot riding around the West Hills. The dyno is O.K. for riding around on the flats. With improving battery technology, it is hard justifying around $300 for hub and light and a rim and spokes . . . and your time building a wheel, all for a light that is at best O.K. I did it as a science experiment and because Frank was hounding me. The specifications are all for people that ride at 9 mph. I'm quite sure that you ride faster than that. What sort of light do you connect it to that doesn't burn out? Judging from the Shimano voltage readings there is no voltage controller in those things. Here's how they regulate voltage. At the simplest level, output voltage should be proportional to the relative velocity of the magnets vs. the conductors, or IOW proportional to the forward speed. And that's pretty much what you see with an unloaded dynamo - i.e. with no current. But with current flow, you have back EMF generated in the coils, which opposes the generated voltage. Back EMF is nearly proportional to the AC frequency, and the AC frequency is proportional to forward speed. So one influence is trying to generate more voltage, the other is fighting against that voltage, both nearly proportional to speed. If properly designed, those can balance each other and a bike dynamo can do a very good job of regulating itself. In some cases, Zener diodes can easily do a bit of trimming to improve regulation. And modern LED headlights probably have some regulation functions in their electronics. But I've got an ancient Sturmey-Archer Dynohub driving a simple LED on one of my bikes, and it does just fine with no ancillary diodes or other electronics. -- - Frank Krygowski |

I did it as a science experiment and because Frank was hounding me. Where's the science? You haven't even measured brightness, have you? You never opened the lamp to swap the old LED, let alone mod the circuit. IIRC, the Luxos B were 4000 to 6000 cd when Olaf measured them at 2.4 Watt. A 300 shaped lumen, 10,000 cd Bumm IX-Q, is 80 euros. That's about a steak and a beer to go in the DPRoC where Tom resides, right? Hey Jay, if you cannot afford a lamp that expensive, I offer to send you a free, 120 lm, 4000 cd rated Hermanns MR4 dynamo lamp https://fahrradbeleuchtung-info.de/images/571.jpg if you can dig up some substantial dirt, financial or case-related, about Reiner Fuellmich, a California lawyer who implies he's competent to successfully sue the promoter of coronavirus PCR tests, but needs to flash a more famous lawyers's book in his video: https://www.globalresearch.ca/video-crimes-against-humanity-the-german-corona-investigation/5725795 https://seed122.bitchute.com/w2wlZfYBhLAR/lWSuvM5MjV2r.mp4 What is a fraudulent corporation? Is it a LLC or proprietorship pretending to be a corporation? I lasted through about 90 seconds of that. I saw Jerry Spence try a case in Multnomah County. Everybody went down to watch him defend this Hatfield v. McCoy murder case involving two families on the Siletz River -- not far from my cousins' cow farm. The trial judge was wowed and let him run the courtroom. It was kind of pathetic. And I'm still willing to trade the SP hub for this almost unused Oculus. Come on, we all know Jay only keeps his aged dynamo moodlight to keep bitching about it like a lawyer, wrongly expecting Peter White, the libertarian importer, to finally send him a free e-bike just to pacify him. ;-) And because I drilled a hole in the aluminum billet fork crown and tapped it to take a bolt just for that dopey crown-mounted light. And I built the stupid wheel, etc., etc. At this point, its like stigmata -- or one of those prison tear tats. I wear my dyno with pride. I bought one of those Garmin mounts that bolts under the integrated bar. It was plastic and broke on the very first ride. So I bought another mount made of aluminum that I could take off and remount on the plastic mount. Then I bought one of those aluminum repair kits for the Garmin mounts to repair the damage. I'm still a little questionable about whether that combination is going to remain working since it doesn't have a positive click like the other mounts do. But it puts the Garmin further away from me so that I can actually read the Garmin while riding. Usually I can only read the speed and distance. But with this I can read the heart rate and cadence. When it becomes time to replace the lenses in your eye ALWAYS opt for the flexible ones that allow you to focus on close objects almost as good as your normal eyes. I had not realized these existed: https://www.allaboutvision.com/condi...ating-iols.htm If they actually work I could see routine lens replacement becoming a treatment for presbyopia. LASIK has become quite popular, but many of those that can afford it are either presbyopic already or soon will be. Do you know anyone that has these? |

Apart from having two wheels, one with a dyno and one without a dyno. Because you're a hopeless moron you didn't bother to read the posting of Jay above who said that they DID bring out a hub that could produce no drag at all but they were not popular because the drag of a generator hub is so small that it cannot be detected by a normal person. Err, easily tested by switching on the lights. FYI, as already mentioned elsewhere, I'm not the only person who purchased my dyno hub seperately and built up the wool with my choice of rim and crossings, thus saying a humungous amount of money for the inadequately spoked completed wheel available in a few bicycle shops. It worked and I was happy, so why would I buy another hub to test marketing claims, especially when it was far easier to just pack a set of battery lights that could be used when needed and not suffer the 'tea leaf' interest that permanently mounted lights did. Did this magic 'no-drag' device come at an outrageous price? But never mind that you don't have a clue what the hell you're talking about because you'll say it anyway. Usually I don't, because I don't waste money buying the latest gimmick for bicycles, but on bottle generators, SA dyno hubs and Sanyo BB generator, I do have some experience, plus on building charging system. Later in life, I simply found it easier to mount a rechargeable battery and dazzle motorists with 50watts of headlight. Now the fscker can not say they didn't see me. Also gave plod a chuckle one night when they thought they'd caught a motorcycle rider on a bike path. |

Yes, Tom, a three watt generator is normally expected to produce more than three watts of drag. That's because the "three watt" rating applies to _output_ power. And as you'll remember from your physics or thermodynamics courses*, its efficiency can't be 100%, so _input_ power must be higher than output power. And of course, it's the input power that manifests as drag. I could go into more detail, but I'm sure that's already enough to confuse you. * Because obviously, you never actually took a physics or thermodynamics course.

Your existence is about to become a great deal more miserable than mine because the illegals can no longer afford to live in California even as farm workers with their housing provided. So they will be moving to places like Springfield where there are old ignorant fools like you who think that you are exempt from the country's problems because you are a communist and have a BLM sign out in front of your house. Ah, the melange of words assembled by your standard brainwashed Trumpanzee fascist programmed by the disinformation echo inside the circle jerk at the brownshirt outhouse. Read some history, you Nazi schmuck. Simple rube xenophobia like yours is the real national security threat. Maybe you should move back to Austria or Caucasia or wherever and just jerk off to Atlas Shrugged posters. One would think that since Sweden suffered under NAZI occupation in WWII and you have presented yourself to be an educated person, that you would know what fascism was. But no, like the mindless little NAZI's on the group you want to call freedom, fascism. You want to call the slave holders, freedom fighters. You are exactly like the people that collaborated with the NAZIs in Sweden that were rounded up and shot after the war. |
