I made this back in April 2006. I took a stationary bike ($5 from a Goodwill), a radiator fan motor (salvaged from my old Geo), a Walkman ($15 too much) and some assorted capacitors and batteries (from Fistell’s in Denver) and hooked them all together to convert burgers and shakes into electricity.
I based my plans off of the wind generator from Volume 5 of Make: Magazine.
The funny thing is, I had a fully functional wind generator as soon as I removed the radiator fan. I then spent a week taking it apart and attaching it to a bike, all just to make a joke/statement on wasted energy, work, exercise, and green energy.
