How to Make a Dynamo?
Apparently, it is easier than I thought to make a very small power generator for your easy to charge electronic devices, like a phone, for example. I was wondering how difficult it might be to fabricate, DIY as they say, my own charger that could work on footfall or leg movement, to charge my cell phone while I walked to the store or to the library. My first search turned up some advice to just cannibalize an existing electrical motor from some electric device, which might work if there were a junk yard near enough, but you’d still need the other materials, apart from the actual knowledge of how to do this. So, how much knowledge is actually required? Well, there are quite a few videos up on YouTube, of course, but whether those are reputable and actually work without burning down your apartment, I cannot yet say. Let’s look at the basic science of the problem, first. Project Do Better mentions this matter several times, as I recall, or hope, since it has been a while since I wrote it, and I know that this idea was on my mind all of that time, but then the (always free…) Do Better manifesto is an organizing manual, not a science textbook, and I remember cutting out a good bit of material in the final few drafts. So, I did some searching.
#ecolo #electricity #pedalpower🚲 World Bicycle Day 2026
Il 3 giugno torna la giornata più leggera, sostenibile e sorridente dell’anno: la Giornata Mondiale della Bicicletta.

🌟 Cosa c’è di nuovo nel 2026
Il 2026 è un anno particolarmente brillante per il mondo delle due ruote:
Un appuntamento che su Perfettamente Chic conosciamo bene e che quest’anno riparte… in scia!
💛 Perché festeggiare
La bicicletta resta un simbolo universale di libertà, leggerezza e buonumore. È il mezzo che ti fa sentire di nuovo bambino, che ti regala vento tra i capelli e che ti porta ovunque… anche solo a fare un giro per schiarirti le idee.
E poi, diciamolo: nessun altro mezzo ti fa sentire così chic mentre risparmi carburante e sorrisi.
🎉 E su Perfettamente Chic?
Quest’anno celebriamo la giornata con un doppio spirito:
E ricordiamo che Perfettamente Chic festeggerà anche il 4 giugno, quindi… non scendete di sella troppo presto.

I was cycling home from an errand when I came upon this guy. We raced a short distance and he beat me!
Head down, eyes straight ahead—he was very focused, his legs were moving so fast! I didn’t mind losing at all. We high-fived at the end.
Important detail: he was a preschooler on a balance bike, his mom was thrilled that I played along. 🤣🚲
Just saw a post on IG from Montclair, NJ. They asked interested folks to sign up for a Sunday bike ride. 500 people showed up! On an unseasonably hot day!!
The demand is real: we need bike infrastructure everywhere
Just come back from a 17km peddly ride. Tbh it’s a brand new pedal assist hybrid bike but even so, playing with gears and pushing to keep up 24kmh/hour average was quite a workout for me.
It’s been years since I’ve done this and my heart rate told me so. I now remember was jelly legs is, hahahaha.
I’ll take a day or two off before doing it again I think.
