[Peripherals] Charging the XO off a bicycle dynamo

[Matt York]

Sameer,

Thanks for your response.
After reviewing the web page on Cow Power, I can't understand how the 
Cow is attached to the prototype.
Does the cow walk in a circle around a pivot like this image?

Or does the cow pull the prototype behind on wheels (like a Tonga cart)?
