Bicycle Dynamo.
A small generator is sometimes fitted to a bicycle
to provide electricity for the lights
at night.
A permanent magnet is rotated in the middle
of coils of wire.
This has the advantage that slip rings are not needed
because the outer coils do not
move.
The top of the dynamo is
touched against the rim of the
tyre
which rotates when the bicycle is moving.
