Machine Design by Norton
Theory of Machines and Mechanisms by Shigley
are considered the two bibles on machine design and are common in machine design courses.
Materials Selection in Mechanical Design by Ashby
The Machinery's Handbook is a must have and I assume you already know about this.
Mechanisms and Mechanical Designs Sourcebook is good to help spark ideas or solve problems. There are other books along the same lines.
There's information on tolerancing and machining in The Machinery's Handbook especially. I'm not sure on other resources for those. There are books on manufacturing processes that'll discuss the tolerances capable and design limitations.
Design of Machinery covers kinematics and dynamics. You're thinking of Machine Design: https://www.amazon.com/Machine-Design-5th-Robert-Norton/dp/013335671X/
The problem isnt with the power output. Power output is based on the rate at which the brushes in the alternator are spinning. There is a torque that we have to overcome in order to spin those brushes. Because of how the bike was geared in that video the rider had to work really hard to push those pedals and spin the system. A better option would be to reduce the gear size at the pedal. You would still have to spin faster but its easier to spin faster than to push harder. A flywheel would also conserve angular momentum and give the rider the chance to take a breather.
