"too complicated ... ( 2 months ago by audiofreeq)
"too complicated for youtube"..Is this a generalisation saying the you tube viewers are of low technical ability,pleasse dont tar us all with the same brush,otherwise you might as well say the internet is just for porn,and all football suporters are hooligans or even Woman shouldnt be given cars...
oh, my oppologies, ... ( 2 months ago by kinga303)
oh, my oppologies, i never ment it in that context as i was intending to pas it across as there just isnt enough space to write about some of these theorys here in youtube.
as there is just 500 characters to write with.
here i rephrase it in new words, its actually quite simple but still far to complicated for a 500 character limit.
there, done.
i'm not taring anyone with anything

i am sorry,i see what you mean now,maybe it is I that should not jump to conclusions.
no worries mate ( 2 months ago by kinga303)
no worries mate
damn! you will need ... ( 2 months ago by audiofreeq)
damn! you will need to pedle hard to produce the odd terawatt hour,that the average country needs. or build things that only require 1/1000th of the power but its still a few Gigawatts.

I am ...phew...sending you this ...pwarr...comment on...you tube to say that....hang on need a bit more speed...[pedals harder]...need to take a rest...I feel quite dizzy. [Pedal REAL hard] Anyway...where was I? Oh yes...opps hang on a minute ...losing power...[Pedal Mania!!!] ..oh Im too tied to leave a comment.

I'm pretty sure voltage sags can damage computers...? That is unless you stay pedaling at the same speeds and turn off the computer the moment you stop pedaling.
I knew it was ... ( 2 months ago by truthhurts4u)
I knew it was invented! I was on leolaporte stickam chat while they showed off a blow power l.e.d. ...... I said they should come up wtih a bike that charges batteries for a laptop or mobile phone and they get the benefits of exercise aswell!
Using a human to ... ( 2 months ago by baronvs)
Using a human to generate electriciy is a cartoonish case study in entropy. It takes a calorie of fossil fuel to make a calorie of food. Using a human, after all the efficiency multiplications between between the well or mine and the laptop has got to be less than a percent. Just plug the damn thing in the wall to minimize your carbon footprint. If I were evil, I'd get into this kind of marketing right now.

Yeah I was thinking one day at work, how can I get a cow to skateboard on it's head whilst it's giving birth to another cow, which is also skateboarding on its head, I have come up with this. FAG

I imagine millions of millions of this bikes and the world population must try every day on gym, parks, offices and all the goverments can install. Hey Buch, Lula, Chaves, you need see this!!!
Yes 1 joule is ... ( 2 months ago by KB1KOI)
Yes 1 joule is equal to 1 joule at the end of the day, the question is how are we using it? Back in the primitive days of humans (the cavemen), we could afford to eat more due to our lifestyle of hunting and roaming. Now that were suburbanites (for the most part), we don't need all that extra energy (yet we still eat yourself to fatness). What are we to do with all that extra energy? USE IT! By using this bike, the fat gets converted to Kinetic energy. Its better than burning more coal.
The answer then is, ... ( 2 months ago by baronvs)
The answer then is, stop stuffing our faces. The efficiency of this device is roughly .7 (battery r/t) * .25 (alternator)*.9 (friction drive est) * .15 (human), roughly 2pct. Compare that with going directly to fossil fuel at a 30pct elec plant and a 70pct line loss and you have a 9pct efficiency. This product increases your carbon footprint by at about a factor of 4. Sadly, it is better to plug your laptop into the wall (and stop overeating)
yeah except there ... ( 1 month ago by djbro16)
yeah except there isn't that much of an electricity crisis so who cares.. at least where I live near niagra falls.. instead of biking in place like a moron I sit comfortably next to the falls and watch you retards invent nothing so you can feel good about yourselfs..
Still it's better ... ( 1 month ago by SilkSwe)
Still it's better than just going to the gym and have all that energy go to waste. Add a flywheel and you won't have to pedal all the time.
I think you leave ... ( 1 month ago by WildAnimalJack)
I think you leave angry comments so you can feel better about yourself. Taking a step up on someone else. But it couldn't mean less to me, I just wanted to piss you off.
why? what emotion ... ( 1 month ago by djbro16)
why? what emotion compels you to piss me off, lets discover
It just seemed like ... ( 1 month ago by WildAnimalJack)
It just seemed like it would be easy. The real question, though, is why do you seem so angry and easily provoked?
If you used the DC ... ( 1 month ago by aelph777)
If you used the DC directly to power the laptop (via a voltage regulator) instead of using an inverter, you would save around 60% of your pedal power - energy is lost in converting DC to AC and back again!
is it possible that ... ( 1 month ago by pazteur2007)
is it possible that crashing your bike/ pedals is crahing your laptop system too? anything much or less can damage your appliance(s) but this is a good idea..
pfft, this is my ... ( 3 weeks ago by Adkit2)
pfft, this is my idea, I came up with it years ago. I'm just not good at electronics so I didn't build it. PFFT.

ohhhh no my legs are hurting me just watching this, i remember all those 200 km /day training.i think it
´s easyer "laptop into the wall" and no pain.or just buy a rat and with some extasy the rat will do the job.
lmao..rats and ... ( 3 weeks ago by stewie566)
lmao..rats and extacy..why didnt i think of that
Think I prefer to ... ( 1 week ago by davehawkwind)
Think I prefer to die. What about all the old folk who work in offices. Whoes gona pay the the medical bills? And As your vid shows you can't work and ride. Why not just put a turbine on the roof while you go and die.
