Generating electric with a bike
A while ago I saw a post here about a company that makes/sells equipment that can capture and store electricity generated by bikes. I remember their website had a photo of their setup at the Waterfront. I can't remember the name of the company though. I've tried searching the forums, but no luck. Anyone remember what this company was called?
Thanks.

you are going to quickly learn the power of oil and the weakness of human beings.

Yeah, no doubt. I'm going to need some interns.
I'm working with a client who wants a "green" sign system for their facility. I was thinking I could charge some batteries and run a couple of power tools if I had to. Nothing big. Probably just a few drills/dremels. I probably can't provide enough amps to start a band saw though. This is all purely academic at the moment.

Oil - The power of hundreds of generations of life transformed by the geological power of the earth. STRONG
Humans - The power of coffee and a Twinkee for breakfast. WEAK

But I thought humans who were unwittingly trapped in an artificial reality were the power source of the future.

Yep, and if you're killed in the matrix, you die here in real life.

I know I'm looking forward to being liquefied and fed to the young.
