Cycle Charger Weekly Log
1/22/18 - 1/28/18
Brainstormed project ideas as a group. Decided on creating a portable charging stick that is charged by riding one's bike around.
1/29/18 - 2/4/18
As a group we decided to do independent research and material gathering this week. Each member was researching certain aspects and taking note of the things needed to complete our project. We researched how to generate electricity from a moving wheel in different ways.
Kyle- I researched how to generate electricity through the use of a dynamo attached to the front wheel of the bike. It seems to be the best way to add it. I also created the project page and weekly log.
