converting motion into electricity efficiently requires quite a few brain cycles. I believe my solution to be much superior but actually making a product is an entirely different challenge! Impressive.
A different puzzle involved would start by gathering the [world] records in amounts of weight over distance over times for repeatedly lifting from small to maximum in all the ways we do so and then make many more dimensions accounting for different levels of strength and endurance from the best trained to the worse. Involve the amounts of sleep and food and of course account for the distribution of thees human qualities.
You sort of inevitably end up looking at Eamonn Keane's doings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eamonn_Keane_(weightlifter) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eamonn_Keane_(weightlifter)
Bench press most weight in 1 hour 138,480 kg (305,300 lb) 1,280 reps with 200 lb (90 kg) and 493 reps with 100 lb (45 kg)
Walter Urban Squad lifting in 1 hour 57,717.36 kg (127,245 lb) 145 lb for the first 30 minutes then switched to 135 lb (say 127245/140 = 909x)
Kris Winther did 5,200 consecutive air squats in 4.5 hours.
There is lots and lots of horrifically poorly shaped data available.
My conclusion is that for the most efficient power from muscles you need a range of practical fitness devices.
2000 kcalories worth of food is about 2.325 kwh say 100 watt average consumption. Say 80% is lost as heat.
But the effort it takes is considerable! You better clear the schedule.
And the winner is: 50 liters of methane for 500 wh
