@@magnicdirk Does your contactless magnetic generator create a drag on the wheels? How is it comparable to the drag an actual friction based bike dynamo creates?
Hello, Mr. Strothmann. Brilliant invention. I was wondering if this could be used on a bigger scale to power electric motorcycles. As of now, the biggest challenge to electric motorcycles is short battery life. I am curious to know if integrating your design into the motorcycle could extend battery life significantly by providing constant recharging while in motion.
This can't work because our system (like all generators) has less than 100% efficiency. So it's not an option to try to charge a battery from a battery-driven motorcycle.
Difficult to answer for me. There are different systems- some are better , others worse. Our system might be suited in some cases but we have not explored this.
@@tonyrichengod9280 I think their system still creates a parasitic drag on the wheel similar to a friction based dynamo. The dynamo uses more energy to drive it than it can efficiently generate to recharge the batteries. So you'll be better off not putting the dynamo on as you'll get more range without it on.
Music wasn't extreme enough, sorry. Maybe try Norwegian black metal for your next kickstarter, to really drive home how cutting edge you are.

I remember years ago all the bikes were with dynamo and no batteries needed!!!
Yes- but very bad dynamos :-)

Dirk Strothmann Would it work better than the brake-driven kinetic conversion system that electric motorcycles currently use to recharge the battery?

WOW using magnets to produce electricity converted into light :O that is never heard of :O oh wait, we have..
Can you sell these on Amazon.ca?
RS..
This sounds like bs but the music made me think otherwise
