Designing and making the bike generating music making machine, June&July 08.



Plans for a music making hand crank were made by the mechanic group when the Powerpod was down at CAT. The designs were made, the next step was making it... Steve at the bike station, http://www.thebikestation.org/, provided the bikes and the expertiese! Next was the electronics, for the movement to provide DC power. In stepped Andrew Firth at the Uni of Edin, his diodes, capacitors, DC generators and 12v speakers!

The bike was painted and ready to go - a huge hit.
