*Vultures Knob>>>Exercise Bike

I've solved the worlds problems...?



Why havent we created bikes and other exercise machines that hook up to our electrical systems and create more energy

the government could do this and put a limit on how much energy a home can get through other means and this would force people if they wanted to be lazy and watch TV all day to get exercise also helping our heart diseases and overweight problem....

even if not implemented like that and in the homes, think about gyms the YMCA wouldn't have to pay for electricy at all

I think if someone developed this they would make millions and save the world at the same time....i plan to but don't have the resources at this time, but hope others do b/c i think it could work...

I know that the amount you can create with an exercise bike is minimal but every little bit helps and a lot of little bits adds up to a lot, right?

It's a good idea, but it does not address storage. Electricity must be used or stored for it to be of any value. That is one of the major technical problems with solar and wind power... what do we do when the sun is down & when there is no wind. Transformers and storing is possible (batteries) however producing electricity "on demand" is cheaper than storing up more environmentally-friendly energy.

Recall supply and demand... people will not begin demanding alternative energy sources until the price of current energy sources goes up (look at gasoline... it took $2.50/gallon gasoline to push consumers to consider more fuel efficient cars). Electricity is not expensive enough for consumers to search for alternatives... yet.
Part of being American is having choices. Nothing is stopping you from doing this. But I will fight you if you intend on making my Grandmother hop on a bike to watch American Idol.!!
I know why we don't do that

because that is a dumb idea

You couln't make enough power like that to even keep on one light bulb.

Also you would not be able to make enough power peddling the bike to buld a bike during the entire life of it. so you would burn more oil making that bike then you would save by riding it.

going for jogs instead of buying that bike would save more energy.
