Who's the one with the avatar of a guy riding a bike generating power? SolarDave?

Anyone with info on how to make this realistically viable (enough juice to run an energy efficient apartment)?

I want to answer a girl's questions about this on another forum : http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthrea ... ost6698781

And also, for my own information. I honestly do think it would be among the coolest things in my recent personal history if I could power my home with a rowing machine (and get my ass in shape in the process).

Thanks!

just google "human-powered electricity"

Found this too : http://peswiki.com/energy/Directory:Human-Powered

Pretty cool directory though probably not near comprehensive.

It's an interesting idea, but the more electricity you create with muscle work, the more energy you need as nutrition... If food becomes scarce, everyone will have to ponder carefully which end-use pays off best.

It looks like it would be difficult to do more than intermittently run a small appliance..

I've had this image in my head of a makeshift human energy plant where masses of jobless people pedal their bikes to generate electricity for some project that needs power than what can be provided by the ever-declining regular energy base.

We're just not willing to work that hard!

So instead of the proverbial squirrels on treadmills, it would be a bunch of unemployed people on stationary bikes?

Nice.
