This is an overview shot of our Green Rabbit Prototype.

This is the front of our Green Rabbit Prototype.

This is the rear of our Green Rabbit Prototype.

This battery permits us to “Jump Start” (or polarize) the magnetic field on our alternator. After the fields are polarized and the alternator is producing current, we are then able to remove the battery from our circuit.

The switch labeled “BAT” permits removal of the battery from our circuit without physically disconnecting any cables.

This image shows a major “hub” in our circuit. Electricity will pass through here in many different scenarios. The first scenario will be for delivering battery power to our alternator for the “jump start” process. Note that battery power will not travel to the load because the load control switch will be off during this stage.

This image shows the wiring required to operate an alternator. It may be hard to tell, but there are a total of three conductors connected to the actual alternator itself. The conductor joined by the orange wire nut is supplying power to the electromagnetic fields and the other two conductors are for electrical output and return.

This is the heart of our project, as this device converts the exerciser's mechanical energy into electrical energy.

We return yet again to our central “hub” – only this time we are here for a different purpose. Now that our battery has been disconnected and the alternator is turning, assuming the load switch has been activated we will be delivering power to the inverter (as well as to the alternator to sustain its electromagnetic field).

The yellow wire nut is for implementing the load control switch (the white wire is an implicit hot).

In order to obtain a current reading, an Amp meter must be hooked up in series with its load (as opposed to in parallel). Assuming the circuit is closed, one cable (set of 2 conductors) brings power into the circuit (and eventually delivers that power to the actual load), another cable goes to the load control switch (and returns power to this location), and the third cable goes up to the Amp meter itself (and returns power to this location). Regardless of color, all conductors in this shot are hot.

This is where we are permitted to turn the load on and off. At this point in our electrical trace through, the “BAT” switch would be off and the “LOAD” switch would be on.

When the GRM is in use, this multimeter is configured to show how many Amps of electrical current are being consumed by our load.

This is showing our incoming 12 volt DC current and how it connects to the inverter.

This device takes our incoming 12 volt DC current and converts it to 120 volt AC current for operation of home appliances.

The power cable is on your left – which is connected to our inverter and the Coax cable is on your right – which is connected to Charter Communications Analog cable service. At this point, everything is all set to turn the television on.
