Pedal-Powered Machines Around the Farm

[swick1]

Those are pretty cool ideas! I like the person who adapted an alternator that is pedal powered to charge a battery for a remote location so someone can use a laptop. That is actually a pretty good idea for a remote camp, or long power outage, and great way to stay in shape! I worked at a college in Western Mass for a brief period, and I use to see a guy riding a three wheeled bike around that had a blender attached to the back. He brought his own party wherever he went, and he later invented bicycle ambulances for improvised locations. Heres the link to the project: http://vimeo.com/2108508

I met that guy too. I think he was inspired by his recreational substances. He wore dreads and flip flops with an oversized shirt when I last saw him. We were at a tech conference and people were sampling milkshakes from his bike. I was too afraid of getting dysentery to try one.

How long do you think it would take the average person to put a full charge on that battery??

Lol,

That pretty much sums up all of the hippies at Hampshire College. They did some neat stuff, but they really need deodorant.
