Scale RomeroUK Dynamo to a useable size.

You know pirate I had always envisioned making a bicycle with a 20 foot shaft containing 2 big pillow block bearings on each end with a shit ton of axial flux generators on it just wondering if we could not employ people to generate power for us. I wonder just how much electricity something like this could slap out ... People could be employed to pedal a bike for 10 minute intervals for 8 hours a day. So technically all one would have to do is pedal a bike for 10 minutes every hour then relax for 50 minutes lets consider 1 nice axial flux turbine turning at a decent rpm would generate 1000 watts now if we had the rotors all magnets like axial flux design and the stators were coils stationary and ground mounted with a simple hole through them. I would reason to believe we could safely fit 15 of these things on here generating from 15000 watts of power this would be enough power to power like 4 homes off grid and if it were setup as a utility it could power up to 8 homes as approximately 1.5kw is allocated for each home by utility companies.

I am sure this could be scaled up to have even longer lines with several bikes per line to do the cranking ... But I suppose still no where near as effective or as cheap as coal or gas but I am sure things could be tweaked you could even get people to donate time to save money on there electric bills...

So much that can be done I do often wonder myself about using multiple rotors with longer shafts in many applications cause I almost never see this done for power generation.
