CAN I BUY AN ELECTRICITY GENERATING BIKE?
Most people understand the concept of a power generating exercise bike; they just don't realise its potential. It's because microgeneration sounds...well, too small-scale to be useful in the modern world. Of course, that's the point. Microgeneration means small-scale energy production. It's the kind used in homes and small businesses: solar panels on a roof or small-scale wind turbines, for example. 

But one of the biggest advantages of this type of clean energy generation is that generally it's less conspicuous and affordable; it's also relatively easy to install and maintain.  https://energym.io/blogs/news/can-i-buy-an-electricity-generating-bike

The Pedal-A-Watt Stationary Bike Power Generator: create energy and get fit...

Pedaling a bike at a reasonable pace generates about 100 watts of power. That's the same energy-per-time used by a 100-watt lightbulb.

CAN YOU REALLY POWER YOUR HOME WITH A BICYCLE GENERATOR?

Talk about a way to ease any device-time guilt - power your TV and devices by cycling! As a parent that struggles with device time and kids too, I quite like the idea of teaching kids about climate change and energy efficiency by making them pedal-charge their devices. The effort expended puts energy use into perspective and may just encourage them not to take their device time for granted.

The truth on how to use less energy? Build more efficient homes

For more info on how to build an energy efficient home, or perhaps build an off-grid home, or even how to build an off-grid Tiny Home, check out our building guide pages, or use our Edelweiss House as an example of what is possible when you design for optimum energy efficiency from the beginning, as it only consumes about $600 a year in total energy - that includes all the electricity for lighting, heating, cooking, bathing, and even charging an electric car for an extended daily commute.

Our neighbor Linda needed a way to boost her house's small solar electric system during cloudy periods. She wondered if a bicycle could be adapted to make enough electrical power for her water pump, which is her minimum electrical need. I was planning to build a wind turbine, including it's low-speed alternator. The turbine alternator I had in mind functions at less than 400 rpm and so does a bicycle wheel. That got me thinking . . .

There are two types of bicycle generator stands. Belt drive and roller. There are pros and cons for using each type of stand. Here is the summary:

HPG-75 HUMAN POWER GENERATOR INSTALLED AT DISCOVERY CENTER MUSEUM Rockford, IL

This interactive display provides children with the unique experience of generating electricity and then selecting which appliances in the home to power up. The hair drier and blender are the most difficult item giving the children a very high resistance to work against.

Make Electricity While You Exercise...

While you probably won’t produce enough electricity to power your entire house, pedal-powered generators can play a small but useful role in some homes.

I ALWAYS Turn off the Sound on TV Commercials but... Out in the Living Room of My Group House THEY DON'T... and So... On Rare Occasions I Actually HEAR those Horrible Noises...

When I was a Teenager "Mad Magazine" Published How to Build a TV Sound Mute Switch Plans... TO SILENCE TV ADS... and I Opened Up My Parents TV and Added the Button... Without Electrocuting Myself or Breaking the TV!

This Was The High Point of My Entire Electronics Career...

Now ALL TV Remotes Have a Mute Button... Mad Magazine Was Just Ahead of It's Time... (Well, DUH)

Now, I Can't Find an Image for The Mad Magazine Article about How To Build That Switch... I Tried Google Image Search but... NO JOY! If You Have a Copy of that Issue, Please Photograph the Drawings and EMAIL Them to me... gregvan(at)yahoo(dot)com...

I Really Object to TV Ads Showing Pictures of UGLY People... There are Advertisements for a Wrinkle Remover That Shows Before and After Pictures... I Have Learned to Recognize That Ad and Close My Eyes BEFORE the Offensive Images Are Shown... With the Sound Off and My Eyes Closed... That's a Great Time for Prayer and Meditation!

Another Example of a Republican Law that Benefits Corporations and Harms People... However, we are fighting Back! Off Shore Oil Drilling Blocked by California Legislature...

https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2018/09/08/jerry-brown-signs-new-laws-to-block-trumps-california-offshore-oil-drilling-plans/ Jerry Brown signs new laws to block Trump’s California offshore oil drilling plans...

Whale Swimming Past Oil Drilling Platforms

“Today, California’s message to the Trump administration is simple: Not here, not now,” Brown said. “We will not let the federal government pillage public lands and destroy our treasured coast.”

Brown signed SB 834 and AB 1775, two measures that ban the State Lands Commission from approving permits for new wharfs, piers, pipelines and other facilities anywhere in state waters along the entire California coast from the shoreline out to three miles offshore that could be used to expand new offshore oil and gas production.

The bills — which were modeled on a local law passed by Santa Cruz city voters in 1985 aimed at stopping oil drilling during the Reagan administration — were a top priority for environmentalists in Sacramento this year. A similar proposal was blocked last year by oil industry opposition.
