I'm disappointed that after three days, this is the only thing you can post.
You're just making stuff up now. I never said any thing like that.
Yeah you did, I even quoted it.
Unfortunately you ruined a useful discussion by acting like a whiny little child.
I said "don't overthink it" and you got mad. You up and said that the circuit I posted didn't work, because you misunderstood it in a very fundamental way. When I clarified that you went absolutely mental.
So far the only thing you've proven is you can hook a light up to a battery on a non-motorized bike. I'm truly impressed.
I've proven many things in this thread, all of which to do with you not knowing what you're taking about.
You're the one doing the criticizing.
I provided a well known solution to the problem this thread is about, that is tested and proven. You've been trying to argue why it won't work - using faulty reasoning due to you not understanding it, and then afterwards, using technobabble to obscure simple statements that were never in question in the first place.
I mentioned that on single ended grounded dynamos you can use an off the shelf half wave regulator. You got all upset and criticized that.
Nobody was upset. I said it was wasteful, considering full wave rectification is better and only a few cents more expensive.
Then I said you could lift the grounded leg on the coil and use a full wave regulator. You didn't like that either and boasted about your superior tape method.
You suggested that in order to stop the dynamo from grounding on the frame, to open it up and modify it. I suggested just taping off that part of the frame would be easier. That's not boastful, that's a suggestion to save effort.
And of course if we want to buy one we can get it from Europe on the internet. Yeah, lot's of useful specific information you've provided. And it's just gone downhill from there.
Nobody said anything about buying any dynamos or any electrical tape from Europe. I said there's very good lights sold in Europe and that I recommend them.
I don't know why this pisses you off. Seems irrational.
I don't know why you have some sort of emotional investment into an old bicycle dynamo. But there are other ways of doing it and that's what people are exploring. At least they were until you came along like a turd in a punch bowl.
I said "don't overthink it" and you've been on a freakout for a whole week, saying blatantly wrong things about electronics and generally being a rude as***le.
You could have saved yourself embarrassment days ago, really simply. Remember when you said the circuit won't work with a dynamo that's got a built in rectifier, and then I showed that actually it did?
All you had to do was say "oh yeah, I had a brain fart and forgot how a rectifier works for a minute", and that'd have been the end of it. You could have also said something like "Are you sure electrical tape is strong enough? The clamp might cut through it." And that would also have been a reasonable doubt to have.
Instead you got emotional and said a whole bunch of angry, badly thought out things, and I've spent the week going "no, and here's why that's wrong". Healthy adults don't react the way you do.
You don't realize it yet but we're all laughing at you. So keep it up.
There's been like, one other post in here since you started freaking out, and it was a guy telling me I "defended myself well" and asking me a polite question.
