Have you actually figured out how much energy this will
generate? |
|
|
Tip: About enough to run a keylight for 15 seconds a day. |
|
|
It depends upon how highly geared the turnstiles are and how many Queenslanders are in town. |
|
|
Good point. However, gearing can still only convert the
amount of work introduced to the system (it can't multiply
it). My experience of Queenslanders is... not that much. |

All beer has the appearance and odour of something that
has passed through a dog, in my view. I don't get the
fascination. |
|
|
^ that's only when the beer is on the outside. |
|
|
Sorry. Beer is fucking disgusting and a waste of perfectly
good water. |
|
|
Minor variation, they get beer tokens, the actual beer is in a drinking room (and toilet) on the 3rd floor, piezo electric pads on each stair and a small water-wheel in the outflow of the loo. |

A kilowatt hour is worth ~10 cents. |
|
|
equipment exists for a human can generate up to 400 watts. |
|
|
So, it would take 2.5 hours to earn a 10-cent discount, unless I am off on my math. And that's if the turnstiles were equivalent to instense exercise. |
|
|
Sounds about right. the direct conversion is 860 food calories = 1 kWh. A human can burn 600 calories an hour, which means you lose half to heat over the course of 2 hours. |

How much energy does it take to keep the store
warm in winter as the doors open? |
