While it has become apparent that pedal power can produce electricity, the challenge, i found, was to seek the inspiration, and innovate the "idea" not simply create another way to plug into pedal powered (DC), just to get AC. With this new management system, the ' i ' card will plug into 'the little red box' that's been charged by the bicycle. Inside that little red box is a power regulator, generator and a battery. After a long bike ride (or in a car), plug the ' i ' card into the regulator to build credit. The regulator records how much you save when you plug 'the little red box' into an AC plug in your house. Then when you're out on the town, use the 'i' card 'ini'where and everywhere that you see Mr. ini one, to spend your credit or redeem cash!!!
