Humans and electricity

I would like for you to think of a design that we could use the energy produced by humans to generate electrical energy. Be creative and come up with a new idea.

Well people could ride a bike. It could be attached to some thing that saves energy. THen the energy from riding the bike can be used for other things. This would be good cause it also gives people exercise.

you could run on a treadmill that would generate electricity. the electricity would then be stored in a battery system that would later run the appliances that are in ur home... or sumthin like that

We could be like a hamster and have a runnign wheel, that generates electricity. That would kid of be fun and you could maybe run your house power on it. That is what i think we should do.

My idea is we find a bunch of orphan kids and we make them ride bikes which would charge batteries for later. We could also pay people to charge batteries for us like its their job.

People can use todays machinery such as a treadmill or bike. You can buy bikes that you just sit on and pedal but you don't move. People can ride bikes for a long time because they get to sit down and so I think that is the most productive idea.

To generate electrical energy by humans you could like run on a treadmill or to ride a bycycle also. You could use those things to generate electricty in your house. You can run alot of things off of this by doing all these things.

People could sit on one of their stationary bikes as a job. This could spin something just like a turbine and then you could use that to create electricity. That could help to create electricity that would also be good for the people that are riding the bikes.

the tires on are cars can be used to create electricity to powere the car so that every one can use electric cars it will cut down on pollution

Thats what i was thinking- like the hamster and a wheel. I don't know what exactly would work. YOu'de prbably have to make some kind of machine, and maybe a person could crank it. THe person would have to do some kind of work.

I would get all of the hampsters in the world and make them spin a really giant wheel. not really but it sounds cool. I would really just have burning power from a really big fire i think.

Something that we could do is take turns riding a bike. You could have a bike that generates electricity for your house and your family members could take turns riding the bike. You will make electricity and get your daily exercise.

You could maybe connect a person to a machine while they are exercising. Since you use lots of energy while you are exercising, you could use a lot of the energy. This energy could be used instead of things like fuel.

One way to generate electricity would be to use a hand pump, such as a bicycle pump to create compressed air. The compressed air could be stored in a tank. The compressed air then could be released to turn a turbine connected to a generator to convert the power into usable electricity.
