- TeMPOraL 13y agoWell, electricity is made out of rotating things if you strap a magnet to them somewhere ;).
- icebraining 13y agoIf you're powering a washing machine and a TV by pedaling, I'm not sure you'll last a full cycle ;)
- deckiedan 13y agoha! good point. Although I was kind of thinking that even without the electricity, it's a benefit. Or alternatively, you could get 20 of these, all facing each other and be sociable. Or if you have some electricity in a town, get all of them in a hall, and play movies. :-)

- dredmorbius 13y agoSmall electronics draw relatively little power. You can run a small LCD/LED TV (or radio) off solar PV and a small (regulating) battery. Large power (and heat) loads require far more (and more reliable) energy. Tapping into human energy is an option, though net net it's still fairly inefficient.
