You might like to check this comparison of dynamo efficiency [1]. The Shimano
has as much drag with the lights off as on! It's missing the B&M [2] models
though, which is a pity as they do a 12V 6W bottle model with a claimed
efficiency of 70%, beating even the Schmidt. The LightSPIN had a simil
yes :) easier but less cool than have all your bike wired like a ciborg XD

I'm starting to think that taking 2-3 additional FR batteries for a bike
trip or hike is an easier solution :-)

in australia there is a company called www.pedalpower.com that has
the full solution, I trying to reach them but with any luck I will try
again tomorrow morning. but in parelell I trying to make my own
solution, just a aux batery able to recharge while charging providing
500mA will do the trick,

oh my i'm totaly telling crap her :D
it must be 0.5 A.

Ok, I wasn't specific enough. What I'm looking for is exactly that thing in
the middle :-) that will output the 500mA or 1A through a USB.
Is a bike dynamo powerful enough to provide the 500mA or 1A to charge the
Freerunner?

but remember you will have to have a good voltage regulator or better
a battery charger able to charge itself and the neo at time, in the
middle, to avoid the current variance of the dinamo

The panel is too small to generate a reasonable amount of power, even if you
were by some chance to spend all your walking/cycling time in direct sunlight,
with your back to the sun, leaning forward to keep the panel at right angles
to the sun. You can get flexible fold-up panels that could be s

If you find some model useful let me know

Dear All,
Solar backpack absorbs solar energy and turns it into electric energy
storing in storage battery. It can charge different specification mobile
phones through corresponding connectors.
I'm really interested in this. And I think solar backpack is much more
suitable for emergency situatio
