Hello,
For those of you with pedal generators, has anyone adapted them to use both
hands and feet?

Hello everyone!
We are looking to re-create a hand-cranked electrical generator for an
exhibit. So what I'm looking for is a 12 Volt motor that people have used
successfully on the floor as an electrical generator. So if anyone out
there uses a standard motor as a generator, I would love to know the model
and make of it (if it's successful). And if you have a warning of which
motors to stay away from then let me know that as well. Thanks!
The specifics on our project: essentially we have one 12 Volt motor (that
is no longer made) that generates electricity for a 12 Volt light, a 12 Volt
T.V.. and a 12 Volt fan. We want to couple this with another 12 Volt motor
(in parallel) so that two people can combine their work and we'll include a
couple more options on what to power.
