Question for you engineers:

[garote]

How would I go about building a bicycle-powered usb-charger? The online resources look pretty sparse so far...

Edit: This project looks like almost exactly what I'd want, but I don't really have the electrical engineering talent to build it...

Looking at that project you linked, it is fairly similar to what I have described...

... but more complete

If I was able to get the parts to do something like this, could you give me some pointers on assembling the circuits? (I'm kind of a slob with a soldering iron...)

Well... it works in my head. Never made anything like it, but I understand the theory.
