pedgen (pedal generator) for braking

mobi/trike/pedgen

6.9: mobi/pedgen for braking:
. the best idea is to move the pedgen by chain:
if just using at home then get some extra chain for the front
and undo the chain to the rear
then have a chain ring attached to the pedgen .
. if using the pedgen as a brake on the trike,
where braking energy can also refuel the battery,
then support the pedgen on the rack
and have a chain ring attached to the disk.brake`s disk .
. still not sure of the best way to engage the chain .

10.22: mobi/trike/pedgen/wooden frame is feasable:
. pedgen can use the 1" bearing
within a wooden frame system:
. it being 1" wide there is plenty
for wood to find strength in .
. woodworking is easy so this idea is doable .
the peg fits into bearing fits into wooden doughnut shape
bolted to the rotor .
. the stator axle then has a wooden holder
like the peg does,
only while the peg's chuck is bolted together,
the axle's chuck additional embeds a metal C-clamp
that helps keep the axle from rotating .

10.24: mobi/trike/pedgen/clutch:
. pedgen brake clutch uses air tank
to avoid suddenly yanking on generator:
the tire is pumping air tank which is pumping generator .
