This is an update on my previous post about a hub-dynamo driven (USB) charger.
A step by step guide is posted here: (still a work in progress)
The latest incarnation is a stripped down version of the original. I left out the input tuning C2, C3, R1 (see original post for the diagram) and replaced the 4 Schottky diodes with an integrated bridge rectifier. The Schottky diodes are more efficient due to the lower forward voltage drop, but require more soldering and space. This version now fits into a small ABS case. I hope to replace the fixed USB cable with a USB A receptacle (if it fits).
