If you wish, I own a cycling trainer that the A-frame design is clearly
based on. Unfortunately I can't allow this to be modded to be a generator
but if you want to see how they are professionally designed and built I can
lug it down tonight. If you want it brought, reply, if not I will leave it
at my apartment. I have many, many hours logged on the thing so I can
definitely let you know what features are important...
