It is the type of device that provides electric power for the bicycle's lights. Its primary advantage, as compared to batteries, is that you never have to replace or recharge it. Its primary disadvantages are that it does not supply power when the bicycle is not moving, and it slows you down just a little bit.- WikiAnswers Community. I don't want to be illegal so I credited them because it is their work. But if you are looking for specifics the answer is a generator

Why does the head of the dynamo need to touch the bicycle wheel?

To turn the dynamo in order to make electricity.


Can you convert rotational motion of a bicycle wheel into electrical energy?

Yes, it is possible to convert the rotational motion of a bicycle wheel into electrical energy using a device called a dynamo. A dynamo is a small generator that contains magnets and a coil of wire. When the bicycle wheel turns, it spins the dynamo, generating electricity that can be used to power lights or charge batteries.


What electric device uses dynamo?

A bicycle dynamo generates electricity to power bicycle lights. It uses the mechanical energy generated by the movement of the wheels to produce electricity.


How does a bottle dynamo work to generate electricity for bicycle lights?

A bottle dynamo generates electricity for bicycle lights by using a wheel to turn a small generator inside the dynamo. As the wheel spins, it creates a magnetic field that induces an electric current in the generator, which then powers the lights on the bicycle.


Will there be a difference in electricity produced by a normal bicycle and geared bicycle with the dynamo?

The output from the dynamo varies with the speed of the bicycle. And as a geared bicycle is likely(but don't have to) travel a bit faster than the single speed, it may produce a bit more electricity.
