Power for the quad ~ mechanical 2

Well, not exactly—but, power for devices I use–phone, gps, lights, horn, camera, etc.

I will have a three-tier quad power system: mechanical; mechanical [backup]; & solar.

Mechanical
SON20S B&M361
The Schmidt Dynamo front hub or SON (Schmidt’s Original Nabendynamo) "bike mobile" E-WERK

I own a SON hub and used it on my RANS Stratus XP. Ashley Guy will integrate it into the quad’s drive train [Quad ~ Special Requirement #1]. Since, I will only run lighting tier #2 when my primary lighting is not functioning, I can use the hub to power other devices. Busch & Müller now has a component [E-WERK ~ sold by Thorusa] that connects to the SON Hub to power accessories. PWC will soon have a buffer cache battery that will allow the iPhone 3GS to be powered by the E-WERK [manual]. I will probably dedicate this power to my iPhone—no other external battery needed [I'll have one just in case]. This system can also serve as backup to my solar power system [next up].
