Very nice, love the way you link the material list to the actual suppliers.
I always thought it would be great to connect a bike generator such as yours to a TV (as the ONLY power source). You would have to work out if you wanted to
watch.
300w = 0.4hp, about the max a human can sustain.

Nice.

Or maybe even make some refinements to the K-TOR to fit it into a bike frame.

In all fairness, "Because you can" is the best reason to do ANYTHING. Therefore, you win.

When I was younger; dont go to far into that; I remember bike head lights being run from a generator attached to the bike.
A simple lever would lower the pulley side down onto the tire. That would generate enough to power a pretty good head light. Or is it headlight?
You could use the same principle here. Put another wheel, or something round rubber, on the generator. And work the mounts to take any bike. That way
you can actually ride your bike. Or just like the old ones, mount the generator to the frame.

I will disagree with you for now. I like to be "proven" wrong. ;-)
You have the materials all right there.
Why not give it a shot. It worked well in the '80s.
And those things weren't made for efficiency.
Consider it a challenge for you.

And consider that the motors on those bikes were probably 5 watts or less.
dark-shot666 says:
That looks like someone would have to put a fair bit of effort to keep the wheel spinning.
Have you considered adding on a freewheel to the rear wheel? Add on another 10-20 pounds so that when you take a break from pedaling, the wheel won't
lose nearly as much rotational speed from the momentum stored in the freewheel. Just an idea.
Solid project otherwise! Great work.

A bit of advice....
Make an easier to understand chart on how everything connects with one another.
Nice project!

Is there any way to make this produce more elctricity, maybe with a larger motor, so it could power something like a t.v.?

Nice project. I like the fact that it is there for common use.
Do you even need the inverter? The things you are charging are going to be DC. So you are going from DC to AC (inverter) then from AC to DC (device
charger) and losing a little power both times. Most small electronics use a USB plug to charge, so you could almost get away with having only 5 VDC USB
ports coming off your battery.
Even laptops' power supply outputs are in the 9-16 VDC range, but the problem there is they don't have a universal plug in. (And some, like DELL, look to
see if the power supply is made by them.) So if you could come up with a laptop plug adapter, you could do away with the inverter.

Any tips for measuring the rpm of both the motor and the bike wheel?
