You can basically have a reclining bike, read a magazine, and if you lightly pedal, like the grannies at the gym, you can charge your phone, easily.

2018-11-06 06:39:42 UTC  

By this guy's estimates, you're doing worse in terms of cost and footprint

2018-11-06 06:40:05 UTC  

It will still take you an hour, but the maximum draw of your phon eis 10W, so if you hook it up to your bike, you can ride around and listen to music as long as you want.

2018-11-06 06:41:04 UTC  

Imagine being in the wilderness, you are out of battery, but have your bike with you. Just ride around for an hour and the battery will be full.

2018-11-06 06:41:28 UTC  

I think that would actually be really, really cool.

2018-11-06 06:41:42 UTC  

Also, you can screw an adapter into a light bulb and convert it to usb.

2018-11-06 06:41:51 UTC  

That shouldn't take me longer than an hour or so to solder.

2018-11-06 06:42:18 UTC  

So you can charge 20 phones in one hour.

2018-11-06 06:42:45 UTC  

I wonder how to set up my brainchild currency system

2018-11-06 06:42:52 UTC  

I just need to build something similar for a bike lamp, and that's it.

2018-11-06 06:43:01 UTC  

Cuz I am definitely onto something here

2018-11-06 06:43:07 UTC  

Oil values are dropping rn

2018-11-06 06:43:20 UTC  

Dang, I will actually see if I can sell this in Europe.

2018-11-06 06:43:23 UTC  

So one hour divided by 20 to get time it takes to make enough electricity to charge one phone

2018-11-06 06:43:37 UTC  

Yes, I think so.

2018-11-06 06:43:49 UTC  

Those are just rough estimates, but a biker produces about 200W of energy.

2018-11-06 06:44:09 UTC  

Apparently, the charging draw for an iPhone is about 10W.

2018-11-06 06:44:13 UTC  

Energy loses and so on...

2018-11-06 06:44:36 UTC  

And phone is Wh not just W but yeah

2018-11-06 06:45:02 UTC  

One joule is worth this much 0.0000115522875816

2018-11-06 06:45:20 UTC  

as of current oil prices

2018-11-06 06:46:15 UTC  

You can probably use your regular Apple charger. Even if you pedal too slowly, it shouldn't bother the adapter.

2018-11-06 06:46:41 UTC  

Find an adapter that fits in your light socket, plug in the charger, and start pedaling.

2018-11-06 06:46:45 UTC  

That should actually work.

2018-11-06 06:48:19 UTC  

Dang! Someone beat me to it.

2018-11-06 06:48:24 UTC  

If time goes really slow close to a black hole relative to us, and when the big bang happened all the mass in the universe was compressed into an infinitely small point, then wouldn't the big bang have happened infinitely far in the past, rather than 13 billion years or whatever (((they))) are saying it is now after (((their))) creationism was debunked?

2018-11-06 06:49:17 UTC  

But plugs are unamerican

2018-11-06 06:49:54 UTC  

no u

2018-11-06 06:50:21 UTC  

What if each black hole is a universe

2018-11-06 06:50:58 UTC  

And the reason ours is expanding is cuz its sucking up stuff

2018-11-06 06:51:20 UTC  

What if we're all brains in jars?

2018-11-06 06:51:38 UTC  

what if SEA GULLS are actually aliens

2018-11-06 06:51:53 UTC  

OR WORSE

2018-11-06 06:51:56 UTC  

LIZARD PEOPLE

2018-11-06 06:52:09 UTC  

what if

despacito
