Why

Parts

Current recommended

The current recommended voltage regulator is a L200.

Digikey: 497-1382-5-ND ($1.92 USD each when purchased individually)
datasheet (pdf)
application notes (pdf)

Benefits

can handle up to 60V, which is around the surge you'd expect when you start up a human-powered source (for instance, the spike from a bike-power generator when you start to pedal)

Open questions

what is its behavior at spikes over 60V? constant input?
