This video is about my solar reading lights which I wrote about in My Solar Bedroom in December, 2005.
This video is about my solar bike lights and back pack.
Click on picture This is a video of a solar/dynamo flashlight/radio modified to charge AA batteries thus becoming the flashlight, radio, and extra set of batteries recommended to have on hand in case of emergency as well as a permanent source of low voltage DC power day or night.Solar is civil defense.
Update 3/21/07:
Here is the schematic that Richard Komp of Maine Solar Energy Association and Grupo Fenix drew for me when he modified one of my solar/dynamo flashlight/radios to charge AA batteries.

Your solar dynamo link does not work.
I searched archive.org and found an alternative link which too is broken.
Solar may be a solution to many things, but not a bike. I remember seeing "friction dynamos" (?) that work well without generating a ton of CO2 to build the panels.
It says that the Dynamo radio has been modified ... but doesn't say how.
I've got one of those ... what do I do?
dynohubs are the solution for bicycles. You can even charge electronic devices during the day as you ride
he shows how to modify in the schematic, dont you see it ? the min thing done is to just bring out a connecter in parallel with the internal battery to plug an external battery holder into
