30. Bottle Dynamo
A bottle dynamo is a small generator to generate electricity to power the bicycle
light. It is not a dynamo. Dynamo generates DC but a bottle dynamo generates
AC. Newer models are now available with a rectifier. The available DC can power
the light and small electronic gadgets. This is also known as sidewall generator
since it operates using a roller placed on the sidewall of bicycle tyre. When the
bicycle is in motion, the dynamo roller is engaged and electricity is generated as
the tyre spins the roller. When engaged, a dynamo requires the bicycle rider to
exert more effort to maintain a given speed than would otherwise be necessary
when the dynamo is not present or disengaged. Bottle dynamos can be completely
disengaged during day time when cycle light is not in use. In wet conditions, the 4
roller on a bottle dynamo can slip against the surface of the tyre, which interrupts
the electricity generated. This causes the light to go out intermittently.

bottle dynamo?

(b) No

(a) when fuel is poured in the bottle
(b) when cycle is in motion
(c) when it is mounted properly
(d) when wind blows
(iv) Bulb of bicycle light glows
(a) with AC supply only
(b) with DC supply only
(c) with both AC and DC supply
(d) only when AC supply is rectified
(v) What is the disadvantage in the newer model of bottle dynamo?
