The contraption is mostly still together, minus the motor. So I took some pics of it. The dc motor is a 1/2 hp 100v 1800 rpm (still wrong for my ratio). I imagine a dc treadmill motor would be an excellent choice for the ratio my set-up has. Or one could make a larger roller that contacts the bike tire to better match the generator. The induction motor is boxed away so no pics of it.
