generator light bicycle
How much electrical power could the average human produce with a bicycle?
I know there are power meters for bicycles used by racers for training and such, but how much of that power could actually be harnessed by a generator affixed to the bicycle? Assume a pretty fit rider.
I'm guessing one rider could power one 100 watt light bulb continuously, is that a decent ballpark guess?
100 watt is a good guess. At the Science Museum near where I live there was a pedal-powered device that people could experiment with. When I tried it I got 4 150 watt bulbs to light up.
EDIT: You're right linlyons, they were glowing but not fully lit. Dunno why I forgot that part...oh well.
