voltage should be fine, how many amps does it produce?
It runs a 3 watt headlight so if I remember my math right that would be .5 amps.

it may work.. if not just peddle faster
I should have put this in the hacks forum. Could it really be as simple as 4 diodes and a voltage regulator?

dooh!...forgot you were generating AC.
