using an old car alternator for ENERGY!

SWEATING FOR POPCORN!

normally for a bike generator DC permanent magnet motors are used that is quite expensive. An old car alternator is much cheaper option. Here is my first try for powering a lamp (sorry for a bit shaky video).

The difference is alternator needs to see 12V for starting up because it has not magnets inside.
