I'm thinking of wiring up some motorcycle grade turn signals & lights up to my friction drive bike that uses the Honda GX35 4 stroke engine. I want to get directional lights as well as a good front and back light bright enough for daytime use.
I tried out one of those turn signal tail lights for bicycles that run for about $10 on amazon but they are just too dim to be seen during the day & I hate using hand signals especially on something with a motor. I would love to be able to just hook it up to the motor without the need for a a battery if possible.
I've heard of some people using similar engines as generators to power a whole house, So why not some lights on a bicycle? I'm sure these small 4 stroke engines are capable of doing this somehow but I'm still kinda new to electrical. So... thoughts?
