How to build your own electrical generator for a bike?

Does anyone know the equations and precise ways to build a 0 resistance generator to power lights and other things on a bike. The lights are LED. Im wondering also for storage how many capasitors i would need too.
Yes I mean for the tire. I am not an engineer and do things like this for a hobby. Im interested in this for fun. The purpose of this is for night riding so that while i am already pedaling the bike I use that energy to put towards something else.
 
Zero resistance? You mean no resistance on the tire or electrically or both. Since either is impossible, there is not much point in answering the question. In generating power you are doing work and that will cause mechanical resistance. In moving electrons you are pushing against resistance and capacitive charge.
Capacitors to hold power are likely to be bulky and not last long - especially if powering "other things" You need to consider batteries.
In fact, just buy one on the market and get going on the rest of your life.
