Question by Schizzo: How much kinetic energy is generated by cycling for one hour?
I’m trying to see if it is possible to create a “free” source of energy that is able to power up a home by doing some kind of physical activity daily for about an hour.

Basically I’m trying to use kinetic energy, and convert it into electricity so that it can be stored and used in a household environment.

seeing as how the economy is in the crapper I think if I pull this off it will benefit many people.

Also I’m using kinetic energy as my source because not all houses will be able to run off of solar power due to geographic locations/weather.

I believe that this project will be a double-edged sword because it will reduce dependency on energy companies (don’t like them), and the physical activity can be counted as exercise that many people in our nation need BADLY (that’s a nod in your direction fatties – don’t mean to be rude)

So I started thinking of exercise machines that would possibly work really well, and I think those stationary bicycles would be great conductors.

I just need to know how much kinetic energy is generated by cycling for one hour (the recommended daily amount).

I’ve looked around and believe that about 30 kWh is a good estimate of daily usage in the U.S.

I think people are usually up and about for about 16-18hrs out of the day (me at least) which means I’d have to be able to generate about 540 kW within an hour.

Now I am not foolish enough to believe I can get that much energy from cycling as is; that is where the engineering will take place and where breakthroughs or heartbreaks are bound to occur.

So, yeah… I’m too lazy to find this part out myself and so I am asking you guys.

How much kinetic energy is generated by cycling for one hour?
(no breaks – moderate pace)

P.S. – If you guys are interested I’ll try to keep you updated as more questions come along.

Also, don’t rely on me to finish this project (I’m a lazy dreamer) I may or may not follow through on this idea of mine.
Also, if this or something similar, has been done by someone else already feel free to provide me with that info.

I’m always looking forward to learning and thinking in new ways.

And, if it has been done, I still want an answer – I want to do this myself.

#1. and you’re not alone here. People have no clue how much energy they consume…

#2. Human energy conversion is poor…

#3. A human can barely produce enough energy to burn a 100 W bulb and run an old timey TV…new lcd/plasma use more than the old style.

good questions, you’re thinking!

I am sure all these big strong cons will be happy to tell you it is not their fault, it is Obama’s for wanting to raise taxes, or the unions who look out for the workers. There is some truth in the latter by the way, but not entirely.

Answer by Kevin
Let’s see… you should be able to get most of the cards you need for your budget, except a few.
Gellenduos, because they’re rare (Secret/Ultra), are about each for Ultras and -40 for Secret. Gold Sarcophagus is about -50, and Mirror Force is -30. Dark Bribes can be anywhere from to . Fairy Lilies might also cost you a few bucks each too.
You should, though, be able to get the rest for , if not less.
(Prices are rough guides).

As for getting the cards, you can look on card trading/discussion forums (pojo.biz, for example), online stores, and eBay. Or, you can look for a store that runs tournaments, as there will probably be a singles vendor and plenty of traders there.
