If I were to cycle at 30km/hr for 1 hr on a stationary bike connected to an 80% efficient generator, how much |
electricity could I produce? thanks amansci...probably "good job" for environment and my health... but at $1.92 per hour maybe not the most economic use of my time.. need to be multitasking on the net I guess... You can produce around 200W if you are really motivated. So the generator produces 160W. That's 0.16kWh in one hour of workout. Times 12 cents/kWh, you would produce electricity worth 1.92 cents. Good job! There is insufficient data. What is the resistance of the stationary bike? |
