[DVBC] Bike generators

Can you explain this system in more detail? I've only heard of folks generating their own electricity with solar panels and wind and water turbines. Are you set up for 'net metering'?
(Man, this should be the Del Val Science club!)

  Hey, gang, I know it's been pretty rough lately, what with the ice, and snow, and cold, that we haven't been able to ride (most of us, anyway).  So I've been thinking about the coming touring season and getting my Cannondale into shape.



  Many of you know that I like to make my own electricity.  My bottle generator, on the other hand, is starting to make some serious noise, like the bearings are going, so I've been thinking about replacing it.  Does anyone have experience with a bottom bracket mounted generator, or a dynohub?  Or maybe I should replace my inexpensive unit with a better one?



  Thanks for any ideas you can offer.  Be safe out there.



  Dom
