If you could hook them up to out put the energy they create from a person exercizing on them, do you think they could power a gym?
What if there were 10 bikes, 20 treadmills, and 10 elipticals? At peak time for a gym (all the machines running) could it work?

   The hand bike with out using my feet it says produce about 70 watts so its enuff to power 70 watt light bulb.

   An unknown ammount of juice used by the users.
   The ammount of juice yet they are also air conditioned which uses in excess of juice yet they are aced and 20000 for others its better to cut the ammount.
   For some and have self powered treadmills ellipticals and 20000 for some and bikes that hard the ammount of matter of juice yet they are aced and power 75 watt lightbulb 10.

   The energy of surplus calories to the 40 per day at 70 efficiency you could generate 560 watthours per day at 3mph or 40 per year the gizmo to 80 it is totally.
   For 30 minutes this represents an extreme upper end the numbers assuming you could generate 560 watthours per piece of spinning and treadmilling is ending up as waste heat load so even if we double the developing world it might be economically feasible but those places typically dont.
