12 Volt Lights Diodes

I have a generator. I want to power a light bulb - preferably not a 12volt DC bulb. How can I power the bulb?

The generator is small, with a wheel that has be turned to power it (I will do this with an exercise bike). It has cable coming out of it, and this is currently hooked into a female car cigarette lighter. This will have a male cigarette DC to AC converter, from which I want to hook up power outlet with at least three new energy saver spiral bulbs to light. Is there an easier way to do this? Do I need to use 12 volt DC bulbs? Do I even need to use the cigarette lighter to convert the power? Also, do I need a Diode or a Regulator? If so, what kind and where can I get it? Thanks!!!

No, you can cut the cable and connect it directly to the light bulbs (12v) or to the inverter which will generate 120 VAC.

I don't think you need a regulator.

As you petal, how much voltage does the generator put out? At top speed? if it's more than 14 volts, you can burn out your inverter or your 12v light bulbs.

I'm assuming the generator puts out DC, not AC, which would be totally different set of answers.

If you are just going to light some bulbs, it would be much more efficient to use 12V LED type lights, then go through an inverter to get 120 VAC.

The Diodes $93.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Diodes were a Canadian punk/new wave band formed in 1976. They released five albums: Diodes (1977), Released (1979), ActionReaction (1980), Survivors (1982), and Time/Damage Live 1978 (2010). One of the first Toronto bands playing that style of music, The Diodes helped foster the scene in the city. Along with manager Ralph Alfonso, The Diodes opened the first Canadian punk nightclub in 1977, called Crash n Burn, where many of the citys punk bands at that time played. The first band to play the club was The Nerves, on a double bill with The Diodes. The club was closed at the end of the summer of 1977 due to complaints by the Liberal Party of Ontario (the principal tenants of the building).

Organic LightEmitting Diodes $113.11 Organic lightemitting diode (OLED) technology is used in a variety of display applications, ranging from cell phones and MP3 to prototype TVs, and holds great promise for the production of highly efficient largearea light sources and flat panel displays. It has the potential to become a multibilliondollar industry within a few years. The biggest technical challenge for OLEDs is the limited lifetime associated with elevated temperatures and exposure to moisture. The guaranteed hours of operation (15,000 hr) is currently inadequate for most TVs and replacement of LCDs with the 60,000 hr halflife. This book, therefore, investigated the thermalactivated and moistureinduced degradation pathways of small molecule based prototype OLEDs as well as interfacial electronic properties at the nanoscale level through realtime visualization. The results should help shed some lights on improving luminescence efficiency and lifetime of OLEDs, and should be especially useful to professionals in research and development of not only OLED technology but other organic electronics, or anyone else who may be interested in plastic electronics.

selecting the correct diode?

I want to add a buzzer to the turn signal on a motorcycle; I want to do this by running a wire from both the right and left front signal lights to be connected to the same terminal on the buzzer. This is where my knowledge ends. I believe I need to install a diode in both lines to prevent both turn signal lights from flashing when either one is activated. The system is 12 volt DC and the current I measured to activate the buzzer is 80 milliamps. What is the value of the diode's I need and will this plan work? Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like your plan can work.
