Why don't you just go the whole hog and say that you'd like to exterminate the whole human race? It seems a logical outcome of your fundamentally misanthropic position. -
Are you trying to be as obtuse as possible?
Just face the fact that your idea wont work.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

Re: Clean Energy Idea - Treadmills!
Nah. People do something like a couple of hundred W while driving a bicycle. You could probably keep your light operating for quite some time.Originally posted by Cort Haus I expect the problem would be that it would take 10,000 people six months of exercise to generate enough juice to power a 40W lightbulb for ten minutes or something.Comment

Screw all this. Treadmill? You HAVE to be joking.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Well no. Walk instead of drive. Saving energy is even better than generating it.

The energy expended in producing, distributing and maintaining the suckers in addition to the increased food eaten (becase if you work out more you eat more) would probably make it a net energy loss.APOSTOLNIK BEANIE BERET BICORNE BIRETTA BOATER BONNET BOWLER CAP CAPOTAIN CHADOR COIF CORONET CROWN DO-RAG FEDORA FEZ GALERO HAIRNET HAT HEADSCARF HELMET HENNIN HIJAB HOOD KABUTO KERCHIEF KOLPIK KUFI MITRE MORTARBOARD PERUKE PICKELHAUBE SKULLCAP SOMBRERO SHTREIMEL STAHLHELM STETSON TIARA TOQUE TOUPEE TRICORN TRILBY TURBAN VISOR WIG YARMULKE ZUCCHETTOComment

Hmm, it seems that this idea has been taken more seriously than I would have thought.
You can make enough to light the bulbs in the gym, it seems.

The food part should be a wash if runners just ran on energy producing treadmills instead of the the energy using kind.Originally posted by Perfection

Treadmill production could just be a case of replacing the existing energy using ones with energy producing models of some sort
I'm not saying it would work but I can't see how it would ever be a net energy lossYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment
