    We have serious power issues in South Africa currently. If budget allowed it and you told me I have to cycle for 1-2 hours in a day to charge a battery so I can have lights at night, I'd do it no problem. Keeping fit and generating power, this seems like a no brainer

      - Best vid: Full Ack, all the relevant numbers given, which I want for my own build
      - Precise: Full Ack
      - No unwanted information: Total fail here though - as a physicist I can't stand the CO2 brainfuck any longer, in a totally unrelated video. So now we have to also believe that there is good and bad CO2, in addition to all the other wild hypotheses, like the positive water vapor feedback loop which is hardcore if you think about it...
      But apart from that, again: Super vid - looking forward to wiring up my new desk cycle ;-)

      Mains voltage in the US is 120V and a common breaker amperage is 20A. Meaning you can pull 2,400W. Or 24 cyclists running at 100W... which isn't hard to do. So yea its possible

    • @TurboNuke
      @TurboNuke 2 роки тому +3

      Mostly no. You’re limited by how much power the human body can produce. The larger wheel will turn faster but will be harder to turn. There’s probably a sweet spot, where the wheel is going fast but not too fast and where it’s not so hard to turn that you get tired fast.

    I was surprised at the comparison between human energy vs gas engine energy. Then I thought, there's 15-25% power loss between an engine and drivetrain of typical gas powered cars.

    • @DIYExperiments
      @DIYExperiments  4 роки тому +5

      I compared the mechanical energy at the motor output (it can be a 95HP gasoline generator). The powertrain loss would be the same with any mechanical power source so it's not relevant. Same aspect if you compare the real energy efficiency of a car with idle time... The real gasoline to wheel efficiency of a car is something like 20% only (but again it's not the subject).

    So for one kg water to become complete evaporation by making its boiling hot required how much energy ?

    Ha ha I've seen it all the BBC did a documentary on producing electrical power by simple equation total food energy multiply by the efficiency of the dynamo so about 20-25 percent simple. There are other factors friction and heat gets in away also so typical human 2500 watts by food multiply by 0.2 to 0.25 gives total power per hour .
