Some investigation was done by Alex Weir on suitable automotive (car) generator for use with 4-man pedal system. The Bosch 9 120 690 170 - a 55 amp alternator-generator appears suitable. Driving speed would have to be approx 3500 rpm, which is attainable by using 60 rpm drive through bicycle sprockets to a 200 rpm payshaft with a 600 mm diameter driver pulley and 'eaton vee belting' hollow flexible plastic belt drive to a 35mm wooden or similar pulley.
