ABSTRACT:
A bicycle generator circuit is disclosed for providing a regulated output voltage to a bicycle mounted appliance. The circuit includes a zener diode which is coupled through input filtering and limiting resistors to the output of the bicycle generator to reduce the high peaks of pulsating voltage from the ouptut of the bicycle generator. A rectifier is coupled through a filtering and limiting resistor to the zener diode to rectify the pulsating voltage to provide an effective DC voltage and prevent reverse leakage from the battery actuated appliance when the generator is not in a charging mode. A capacitor is coupled to the output of the rectifier and across the output terminals of the circuit to eliminate noise and provide a smooth DC output voltage which is coupled to the appliance to provide direct energization and/or a charging voltage for a battery actuated appliance.
