For my high school pre-engineering class, a friend and I decided to build a generator type device that would charge a cell phone using power generated by pedaling a moving bicycle. We made a poor decision when choosing the project as neither of us has annnnny electronic experience. We produced a design that generated power using a spinning magnet in a coil of wire. However, we need a way to turn the AC current to DC current and also limit the voltage so the charger/battery is not blown out. Any ideas? Thanks!
