Bicycle Hub Dynamo Subcircuit

Hi Jim,

first, I'm no Spice expert; but is it possible, that you forgot to remove V_V1 from the model, so that one could control the KM/H with an external voltage source via node KMPH?

Yep, Thanks, Nice catch. ...Jim Thompson

Yep. Others see below for the correction. I had left in the test source, which must be removed for normal use...

Can't comment right now, doing an urgent gigeehoitz design. But ... I think everyone would just love to see a pic of you on the bicycle ... pleeeeze :-)

I presently don't own a bike... I graduated to Z's in 1977 ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Wheels are good aerobic activity.

I had something like that... Huffy? ...Jim Thompson

Obviously a fair-weather cyclist - no mudguards. The Lycra brigade go all out for lightness, and in consequence the Lycra develops a broad stripe of dirty brown whenever it rains.

And the derailleur looks more Japanese than Italian. My local bike has Campagnolo gear. The Sydney bike is newer and still has the Shimano gear that it came with. I may trade up when it wears out (though I'll probably wear out first).

I find that, the older I get, the more I need my Zs :-)

I'm just the opposite. My body won't let me sleep more than about 5-6 hours.

When I was a student I once slept from the Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving until the afternoon of the following Sunday ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Too much Tryptophan and wine!

In those days I was into Old Kentucky Tavern. The only wine I could get was at Giovanni's Italian Restaurant in Central Square... who defied the law and served to students :-) ...Jim Thompson

I was out for five days once, with the Flu. I lost over 20 pounds and I couldn't even stand up, when I woke up. :(
