human powered dynamos for infinite energy?

260 views

Just as any other job, we make alot of people push different kinds of dynamos or any other device capable of generating energy out of movement, like a stationary bike attached to a battery and instead of per-hour making we pay them as they generate energy? how would this work in our society?

Really bad. A good estimate of an average continuous power output of someone a bike might be about 100w unless they’re a trained endurance athlete. Even if you could recover that with perfect efficiency, at a rate of 15 cents or so per kWh of electricity, that’s a gross revenue of about 1.5 cents per hour of activity.

If you’re paying them minimum wage for that, that’s still a horribly cost efficient electricity source.
