I'm passing the current from my bicycle dynamo through a voltage regulator.
I have a multimeter, and when I measure AC voltage I get a nice steady 12 Volts, but when I measure DC voltage I get a fluctuating 10 - 40 Volts.
Why do I get two different voltages, and what does this mean?
If I plug in something which requires 12VAC will it be alright?
Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
