"damn it! I killed a phone" - Mehdi, after forgetting to add a voltage regulator

@innocentidiot9521 3 жыл бұрын

I did it a while ago, although not with hand crank generator but with adjustable powersupply. I was using it for something else(22v) and then forgot to set it back to 5v. Luckily only charging board fried and nothing else. It works now fine after swapping cheap board with new one. Also my phone isn't that picky about voltages that I charge it with. It charges with voltages of 4.2-10v. Probably because it support fast charging (15w, 8v). It starts complaining if I charge it with less than 2w.

What a wonderful project. Not only did you explain the concept of gear ratio in a simple way to understand, but you also explained how alternating current works. I had to show my kid your video immediately. Your simple demonstration brought that concept over clearly. Thank you for that. I also like the comment lower down of using a bike on a trainer as the power source. Maybe you can make a project out of something like that. Imagine people sitting Zwift pedaling away, and generating enough power to charge a phone or other stuff.

That is a fun project to do. I really enjoyed how you explained the improvements on the gear design. Making arrowhead gears easy is one of the great advantages of printing them. My wife and I tinkered with a similar design once and we used the DC motor of a truck windshield wiper as a generator, making the electrical setup a bit easier. Where these simple designs all fall down sadly is that while a human can easily go way beyond the power output of what a USB charger can take, spinning these devices for hours on end is not fun. So the endgame of these is adding a more powerful intermediary battery storage and then control the outgoing voltage and that is where we noped out of that project.

For directly charging most phones (including iPhones) you just have to short the data pins together. Many USB power supplies use this way to tell a connected device that up to 1 Amp can be delivered. Also, you should use one of those step-down converter board instead of a linear voltage regulator as the latter can only supply about 200mA at best without overheating if you don't attatch a heatsink. And they also require an input voltage that is at least 2V more than the output voltage, which usually isn't the case for the (by the way much more efficient) step-down boards.

@brianh.000 10 ай бұрын

"Step-down converter board". Yes! This device is called a "buck converter", and is dramatically more efficient than a voltage regulator--especially for higher current applications. 👍 He could design one himself for this specific use, but fortunately general purpose buck converter boards can be had for a ... buck and some change (pun intended).

@TheLordNemesis 3 жыл бұрын

I'd scrap the belt, it looks cool, but it takes energy to bend the belt and overcome the additional friction. Also the linear voltage regulator wastes excess voltage as heat. You could use a DC-DC converter like the LM2596 instead (ready to use boards available), which can convert almost all of the input power to 5V. Many smartphones accept chargers with the data lines shorted together, you could try if that works.

If you want to make this more practical, have it charge a set of supercapacitors. That can work as a pool to hold the energy you're creating while the phone charges off of it. The other thing I would change is to move from a hand crank that you constantly have to move to some kind of foot pedal that you can just press down release and press down because you can repeat that action without thought all day while sitting down doing something else... Similar to how sewing machines used to work before electric motors.

@Tuning3434 3 жыл бұрын

The classic DC motor has a commuter, adding extra friction. It would work for the application for a simple generator like this. The fancier DC motors are actually AC motors, but with a motor controller that switches poles. You can drive them on a DC current, cause the motor controller itself the voltage when a new pole is reached. The more poles, the smoother the ride. To have it working as a generator however, that motor controller has to be even fancier to a 4 quadrant controller, as it also provide braking force (e.g. the current being generated) while still moving forward in the normal direction.

There's nothing free in eotating handle, you're spending calories through inefficient muscles, you'd better off literally burning fat than extracting energy from your muscles. These types of generators are good only if you want excercise and fill your energy storage, like install one under your desk, connect to battery or somwthing and spin it for the leg excercise, as a bonus you'll shove some energy into battery for later use. It's very fun, but as long as you're using muscles, forget about efficiency, if you really need something to generate energy and store it, get combustion engine that works off burning wood and chop a tree or something.

@@jaisere Well, most treadmills are like that, but my gym has some special curved ones that you do move by running on them, and I think they do produce electricity, though I'm not sure.

I feel like it's practical when there is a big black out And your phone battery is out so you can't used it's light And charge some reuseble batteries for the flash light

You can also just buy a crank flashlight.

I have some ideas for the electrical side of this contraption. As far as I can tell you use a line regulator like an LM338 right? This IC is a good start but it might not be the most efficient way. Let's assume your generator "creates" 10 volts and 200 milliamps. What a line regulator does is basically "cut off" everything above the chosen voltage (5 volts in this case) and turns it into heat (thus wasting the energy). So the output would be 5 volts 200 milliamps I would use a Step-down buck converter like an LM61495 on the DC side (or a transformer on the AC side). With this approach, you can use more of the energy because it would convert the input voltage to 5 volts and up to 400 milliamps (some losses will occur). If the voltage is higher on the input side the current would also increase. The circuit is more complex, however. Incorporating this could make your device even better!

I'm surprised that you managed to charge the iphone without using Apple certified gearbox. They'll probably block this charging method after releasing a new iPhone next year

I wonder if you could make something like the GravityLight so that you don't have to manually turn the crank.

I struggeled so hard because of that squeaky whistling in the background :D Like an alarm or sth. Really present at 3:30 But hey really impressive craft you made! Enjoying to watch :)
