  • for a start your making ac with is useless why don't you convert it to dc the give us an out put with at least 5ohm's of resistance?.

  • You should line all these at a GYM to power the TVs 'LOL'

  • Verry good!

  • How difficult or easy is the pedaling? What's it equivalent to in riding a bicycle, 3-5ph on a flat grade, up a hill.., more/less...?

  • true time is money!

  • @snap What I said in the last comment maybe nonsense or...maybe not, I don't know. It's just the idea is so seductive that it's worth to try. Imagine all those people in jail, imagine all those millions of unemployed people. They could be paid to recharge the car batteries and the money would'n go to middle east.

    I don 't have the knowledge mysel but I hope one day someone clever can work it out. If not to recharge the car batteries, at the least to power electric light

    It's worth to try.

  • great way to punish the kids

  • This is fantastic idea. I wonder: could we power our house? Could we recharge the batteries of our electric car?

    People don't seem to understand the idea. It's free because WE HAVE to eat anyway even if we don't do nothing, so just pedaling is free. We do it in the Gym and all that energy could be stored in batteries I think. And then use it for something.

  • @olarcial Electric cars use typically 10-23kWh/100km [wikipedia]. Imagine driving 100km (62 miles). Amateur bicycle racers can produce 3 watts/kg of body weight [wikipedia] for more than an hour. So a healthy 70kg rider could produce 210 watts after an hour of heavy work out. To charge the car battery that would require 47 to 109 hours of heavy work out. Some energy is also lost to friction and electrical conversion so the actual time would be more. There is no free lunch here, I'm afraid. :-)

  • @snaip Thank you very much for your answer. You really did some research that I didn't do myself. But anyway perhaps those numbers you gave could be improved a bit. A car acomodates 5 people, right? So if 5 people could be recharging the car batteries the recharging time would be 1/5 actually; and perhaps some more energy could be used from solar pannels...and maybe the bycicle wheels could be bigger to generate more energy?

  • @olarcial Please remember that the generated energy is limited simply by your own strength - if you try to get more energy out of the generator, you might not be strong enough to anymore pedal the bicycle - it would be like trying to cycle up a very steep mountain. :-)

    It's hard work to produce electricity. And takes a lot of food! :-D A lot easier to get it from the wind and the sun!

    But keep up that positive attitude, take care~

  • thx i'll use candles instead.

  • @gotwind2 can u tell me how to make this and what i will need to make it

  • Great slave to power your house. It's also environmentally friendly. All you need to power him is food and for that he will power your house.

    Buy this slave now and we'll give you 50% off.

  • Now just is just a idea mind you but putting thousands of these in prison exercise yards all across America, to make them work for their room and board so to speak. Would that be a good or bad idea?

  • @1953dan Great idea

  • I like the word "Free" but on YouTube it means Crap.

  • its not free you have to eat to keep cycling

  • @appleworld123 And I suppose you have a way to get "real" free energy? Didn't think so. Shut the fuck up, moron.

  • Not plus free power a lot more energy goes into driving this

  • More free energy nonsense? It's a bike, an electric generator and some douche. Get real. Please FLAG as SPAM for MISLEADING TEXT. Thanks

  • I wonder how much of rebate on the electric bill you could get if you pedaled electricity like an hour a day.

  • It's not free, you must supply the food/water to give you the energy to pedal that bike and generate the electricity. I don't think you are a very cost effective source of energy.

  • @ShadowBlinky I'm not sure that's true. we are pretty efficient. not sure how the food costs would compare to electric costs.

  • @CroniusDraks I agree we are efficient. :) Sounds like we need to do a little bit of research how much energy he's putting out on that bike. And how long he can go before getting exhausted. Find out how much food/water is needed coupled with rest. Also he would need to be in the ideal environment to prevent heat/cold related injuries, so providing that environment would have some cost in itself. We can't do anything with an injured or dead source of energy.

  • I should do this to charge my laptop, then watch videos.

  • hää? was soll denn das Video zeigen? So besonders ist das jetzt auch nicht...

  • ой блеать кретин ! 

  • i guess youve never been to mexico.they have these things on their everyday bikes.They are called Dynamo Bikes.

    free energy means no work is needed to produce it. this guy is pedaling his ass off

  • i guess youve never been to mexico.they have these things on their everyday bikes.They are called Dynamo Bikes.

  • Now if we put one of these in every fatass' house just to run the tv we wouldnt have 50% of americans overweight problem.

  • You guys are wrong,it's indeed not Free Energy as that definition describes,but you can make a LOT of FREE Energy with this.

    Imagine gym bikes running on High Output Alternators.With gearing control the load the person has on its legs just like running on dummy load... The gym would store the energy and use it for example on Tread Mills and Lighting.

    One Bike would charge batteries,then Tread Mills would run on it,saving thousands of Energy using Energy made with NO Effort on Power Generating!

  • where is the free energy?

  • @obeth4life

    there is none because food is not free

    neither are generators or bikes

  • @kc13141314 yeah it is,, the sunshines everyday for free..

  • @kc13141314 erm how about solar smart man

  • 65 people don't like working for their power...

  • hook that to a battery bank....Great idea for punishment for a bad kid.. 1 hr for back talking me boy, get to peddling!

  • and disco lights are made,.

  • free, apart from the cost of the food used to fuel you. there is no such thing as "free" energy, it's only converted from some other form of energy.

  • Time is money... so your "free energy" idea is ridiculous.

  • @dcurry97 is a great idea if the energy can be stored in batterys and be used when is needed

  • @dcurry97 no just do it at work :P

  • Man, I just hope you're not planning on taking a bike ride. Picturing you trying to produce light then that bar breaks, it sticks in the ground then you flip. Maybe a little hamster wheel? they love to run

  • This isn't free energy.

    You will consume calories peddeling the bike, then it is about $7 bucks for an Angus Burger Meal at BK to replenish those calories.

    :P

  • Great concept!

    

  • do that to charge betterys but i think you would need a stepper moter for that right?? im not shure im not an physicist /electrician.

    ps theres no such thing as free energy in

  • Not free, person pedaling requires some kind of sustenance which requires money.

  • @gorerydr gotta eat anyway

  • why you stop?

    

  • well tecnically it aint free, now is it :P ?

    and would u srrsly feel contempt if that was the way 2 solve obesity probs =) ?

    should be a need for a "cure, or sollution" to obesity, other than tho chuppy bastards needs to get over themselves and fucking behave, no offence, tryely, i just cant take it seriously, that having 2 much gets turned into a problem.. Fuck you fat ppl who whine.. think of hungry children next time u feel like complaining over not beeing able 2 see ur own willies.

  • Comment removed

  • @Sonyoooo3 that's an interesting thought... but wouldn't pressure of the two tanks eventually resist each other equally? or is there a way to continue the air-cycle without that happening? your post made me think of trying the use of water passing between two barrels.

  • @Sonyoooo3 The problem is that once the first compressor is half empty, the other is then half full. :P

    But really, once that happens, the cycle will stop, because there is no longer a pressure differential

  • Hahaha :D That's not free mate! Still cool!

  • alright its not "free" but you can burn your fucking coal and suffocate on the smoke

  • People in prisons should also generate electricity

  • Children in scools should generate power by doing this while sitting - free energy for everyone, the kids have excersise, and its ecological.

  • @draconpost Without food they would stop producing in say... a day. But hey...

  • Yeah this is not free energy, but it is a neat way to excercise. Use a dimmer 'switch' and a higher wattage bulb to control the amount of 'effort' you want, and use a watt meter to record your energy output.

  • get a electric bike to do this.

  • is it free energy? after your bike ride are you more hungry after? if you are do you eat food? is this food made from other energy? the sun. people dont be stupid and post stupid things

  • It's not free energy. It still takes someone on the bike to generate the electricity via the generator.

  • please come to me and power my tv

  • and add a car battery and whala !!!!!!!!

  • you gotta eat at some point the more you pedal the more you eat and food cost maneyyyy

  • The energy transferred from the dynamos to light about 40-55%. The energy transferred in this way-all the energy driving the wheels that go in the power and efficiency reaches almost 100%.

  • I just wanna say... it's not free when you're giving it the energy! Unless you're talking about free as in paying for it. Then you can excersize for a living with other side jobs for eating and such. :D

  • sexymanpowered music

  • How could you store the energy used from cycling to power a light bulb later?

  • @whatjamaican Using a lot of supercapacitors or a battery.

  • @Dark0Lord7 i like your idea of using a 10 foot tall capacitor

  • @whatjamaican yes. Its called a battery...

  • You 'pedal power' enthusiasts need to wake up. Human powered electricity isn't going to make it!

  • The number of watts is not the issue, it takes time to charge a battery. Even at a couple watts, who wants to pedal for three hours to charge their cell phone.

  • @fittingciobb nice... except that permanent magnets wear out, and require more energy to align their molecules than you'll get back out. neat trick though, gotta keep the conspiracy theorists on edge.

  • its called getting a candle if your that cheap ...

    O.o

  • nice legs

  • I've always thought one of these spinning a heavy flywheel, likely as a replacement for the back wheel, would work better by getting rid of the spikes from pedaling. Also, that way with good bearings once you got it spinning pretty good you could reduce the load to charge a battery or something and keep at it for a while.

  • fag

  • actually its not free , but a energy converter , you convert your food into energy , and with that energy you can produce electricity :)

  • bull shit that is not a free energy, the energy is coming from, the person who on the bike

  • an hamster is better then this..

  • Wow that 100w looks like a difficult 20 minutes. Need to use reduce the strain through the gears, or better yet to store the energy into a battery, and use the energy stored.

  • @Airwinger33 do you know how to store energy inside betery with this bikes tech?

  • OK now we have a realistic way to fight the obesity epidemic, mandatory pedal power for TV sets and anyone who gets caught running a TV of grid power gets their jaw wired shut for 6 months.

  • @Idiotsmakemesad  Mandatory haha. Communist I say.

  • @Idiotsmakemesad Lol, perfect.

  • @Idiotsmakemesad Nice.. lol

  • :-))))))))))))))))))))))

  • hehe cool

  • si le pones un dinamo a la bike tienes luz =

  • que tonteria , madre mia

  • Great ! Bring your whole family over with some of your devices , you all can sit pedalling , whilst i sit here n make use of your "free energy"

    I wont feed you for 3 weeks , will you still be pedalling ? will it still be "free energy"

  • That was a 4 to 5 decades they invented in in atlas cycle usually have like that

  • Hell of a big flash light. Is that the pocket size model?

  • Well it's not free uless your food is home grown, but I like it. I wonder how hard it is to power a Playstation 3 and 37 inch lcd TV

  • @TimpBizkit 37inch LCD TV is about 100watts,, PS3 while playing games is about 200watts. So roughly 3 times as fast OR hooked another 2 onto the bike and peddle 3 times as hard. The most difficult of all is keeping the voltage, current and frequency right in order to power the LCD and PS3 without causing damage to them >.>" (need to use a power regulator or some sort)

  • It looks like the system I use for my wi-fi ! O:

  • lol

    

  • Pedal faster and see what happens..

  • i have a electric scooter that i I don't use, so can i use the moter do do something like this?

  • @pivitman101 Yes. That's what a generator is.

  • If you pedal backwards will YOU glow?!!!

  • @Sven360x lol !!!!

  • rofl

  • @Sven360x lol

    

  • @Sven360x 3 times

  • HOW DOSE THAT WORK CAN YOU TELL ME THAT ? ! !

  • i would have a voltage regulator

    so that the light doesn't vary in brightness

  • sweet 

  • Considering the high cost of electricity in my area. I was thinking it's a lot more economical to get like 2-4 slaves to shift pedal that thing, powering my server and laptop 24/7 so I could fully enjoy my internet porn without worrying about my power bill.

  • @BahoUtot Where would you get the slaves?

  • @BahoUtot LOL........... I couldn't stop laughing. Well done, very elegant comment

  • @BahoUtot lol

  • okay wouldn't it be awesome if he took the power he is creating to run a motor to run the whole set up and branch it to run the light bulb?

  • @Head5h07 - perpetual motion never works. Conservation of Energy - IT'S THE LAW!

  • @JBofBrisbane laws are meant to be broken and laws change humans strive to go farther than what they have set before at one time electricity itself was scoffed at

  • @Head5h07 I tried that. I took 2 motors and hooked up the wire together. Spun one motor by hand and the other motor spun from electric generated by the motor that I was spinning.

    BUT it took hard work of my hand to spin one motor but the other motor I could stop with one finger.

  • @timrocket2008 im just glad someone understood what i was getting at and thought like i was thinking but with improvements it might be able to be pulled off

  • @Head5h07 It can't be pulled off. its like trying to make a 5lbs plate weigh more than a 6 pound plate. Or turning 10oz of water into 12oz of water without adding anything to it.

  • i wonder if you could build a moter to pedal the bike for you so when it pedals it powers itself and other electronics

  • @mattdakid0 - see my reply to Head5H07

  • @FallenAngle122 10 bucks says that if i were fat my parents would probably do that to me lol

  • What about sentencing criminals to the amount of kilowatts they produce as opposed to the number of years served (while sitting on their arses). Prisons would be huge fitness gyms full of stationary bikes.

  • Sweet! put your energy, literally, to good use.

  • point of having a light so you can see what your doing when your stuck riding a bike?

  • Wrong video name, its not free energy.

    Re-do the vid name to "homemade electricity"

  • ha ha ha ha!!!! do you really think that is free energy?? or are you just stupid? Didn't you notice that you had to pedal that thing? Do you even know what energy is?

  • Mr. Flinstones!!!!

  • haha you think if i hooked 2 of these up in my basement i could power my xbox?

    lol

  • it is true

  • toooz

  • please view the world's simplest transmission for bicycle.

    Watch: UNIQUE BIKE CRANK ( 2- SPEED)

  • On bang goes the theory, I saw 70 cyclists running an 8.5kw power shower

  • Hey i wasted all summer building this damn thing and it doesn't work your instructions are totally useless it fell apart in the middle of a busy intersection and i got ran over by a bus but thank goodness for physiotherapy i will be out of the hospital by the end of the week i can only walk sideways now gonna try building this one more time it better work!

  • @ascwevtry56u7yjkyuh : oh are you alright .. i think you have to buy a altornator and belt first .

  • @ascwevtry56u7yjkyuh you must be joking!

  • how do i do this? this is fugging win!!!!1

  • In high school, the physics department had one and it powered a small TV. It was quite difficult to keep the thing spinning. Too much friction I think.

  • An adequate demonstration, but not so much of 'free energy' since the source is not a natural one in the relevant sense. On the other hand, since the concept could be used to incidentally generate power while riding a bicycle I suppose it could reasonably qualify if used for something such as charging batteries for a headlamp, radio, gps, etc.

  • buy a mouse!:))

  • I'd love to get one for my kid to power her TV....

  • @MrEnergyCzar

    Seriously, no more coach potatoes.  Make her work for her entertainment. Good for her health, and your bills. :D lol.

  • hey lets ride the fucking vike...its free!

  • I wouldnt say free energy unless the living dead is pedaling, but good vid anyway

  • Make it into an electric bike, so when you pedal, you're also powering a small motor to assist you with pedaling. Thus: You use less energy yourself. :P

  • @Gamer4ev3r That wouldnt work, the extra power your legs would use to drive the generator would be more than the power you would get out!

  • You sir are a homo

  • @myjizzureye

    your a fag for saying that with out talking to him

    your the HOMO

  • @voseamatt You sir are a double decker homo with chocolate on top.

  • nice

  • It would be excellent for recharging electric cars...people can exercise to power their car!

  • This would be very useful for people like me who like to play videogames for hours, I'd first have to do some exercise to recharge my laptop battery and then I could play for about an hour and then exercise again!

  • Awesome... the energy-problems on earth are solved :D This Vid is way better then all the other free enrgy crap videos.

  • Imagine with 15 watt CF

  • Not really free energy. You are simply converting calories into light energy. You gotta get the calories from food, and food costs money.

  • unless you get your own food and water.

  • @funnyanimationguy

    You have to buy a farm.

  • You're right but most people could use some excercise anyways. I admit... that would not even be enough. Most people can not do 100W for more than 20 minutes.

  • people who can't do 100 watts for 20 minutes are pathetic and REALLY need to exercise!

  • haha lol

  • @diesel11679 that's 33.3Wh or 28 Calories, the energy of 70ml of natural apple juice :), so assuming that you 'run' on apple juice.. to pedal 100watts continously for an hour you need to drink 210ml of juice or eat 2 apples. (that if you are a 100% eficient machine), so this energy it's not that free as some think (unless you live in an apple farm)

  • wow this is cool as hell!

  • Amen to "bobinmissouri" !!!

  • give him the noble peace price lol the obama got one for doing nothing lol

  • @bobinmissouri

    Nothing new.

  • how is this free energy?

    humans need energy to do anything (i.e. food).

    Also they breathe oxygen and exhale carbon-dioxid

    (the same stuff that comes out of vehicle exhaust), which is causing this so called "climate change".

  • @sibling he means electricity dumbass

  • but then why call it free?

    and why call me a dumbass for asking a question?

    does he mean free of charge (no paying) or what?
