If you had to bicycle, to use your entertainment equipment how much would u be watching?
Power Consumption of Typical Appliances:
Small TV 100 watts
Large TV 200 watts
Laptop PC 10 watts
Desktop PC 75 watts
Stereo 20 watts
Charging a cellphone 5 watts
Hi Effic Desk lamp 15 watts
The Pedal-A-Watt Stationary Bike Power Generator
The average rider will produce between 125 and 200 watts using the Pedal-a-Watt. While this may not seem like much power, many pieces of equipment draw very little power and can be powered for long spans of time with small amounts of power.
An Explanation of Watts vs. Watt-Hours
Watts is an instantaneous measure of power at any moment in time. Watt-hours is a measure of power over time.For example, the Pedal-A-Watt, creates 200 watts of power. If you pedal for 2 hours, then you have created 400 watt-hours ( 200 watts x 2 hours) of power.This 400 watt-hours would power a 100 watt light bulb for 4 hours, a 200 watt large screen TV for 2 hours and so on.
Maybe everyone in this country needs this.... something to think about..
