abstract
In recent years, the popularity of bicycles has been on the rise in the United States. With this increase in popularity people are using bicycles as a form of commute and for extended bicycle tours. My senior design project fulfills these cyclists’ needs for a reliable portable power source to charge small electrical devices such as cell phones, or nearly any other type of device that can be charged from a USB power supply. I am using a weather proof dynamo located in the front hub of a bicycle to supply the small amount of power required for this project. My project supplies a constant 5V to the USB device while the cyclist is traveling at the rated speed of the power supply. Additionally my device is small and rugged enough for any cyclist and can be placed in a small saddle bag protected by the seat and seat post.
