Human Energy - amp energy

I had the opportunity to ride a bike and get paid $20 an hour. It was quite fun but not so easy. Over the last 3 days I spent 20 hours in the saddle and probably road more than a few hundred miles. It was exhausting mostly because of the uncomfortable seats which even the cyclists couldn't stand. I would say that most people who did it were not bike enthusiest although 2 or 3 professionals did show up.
Well... as you can see these wheels are turning wheels that are attached to little electric motors. We pedaled 42 bikes to create electricity which charged 160 batteries that enabled the tent to have lights and sound for the microphone and music. They also claim there is enough energy produced to sustain 30 minutes of the Superbowl's Fox pre-game show. They plan on having plasma screens tomorrow so they can watch the game and keep riding. All 42 bikes are riden for 12 hours a day for 4 days. They also said that the environment friendly event is going to be submitted to the Genis Book of World Records because it is the largest amount of human produced sustainable energy ever created. So we will just have to see what happens.

According to the amp gauge I produced about 1 to 2 amps steadily but got up to 9 and 10 amps if I really pedaled hard and fast. What that really means I am not sure but it was fun and and I think it is a neat idea.
If I had tons of money to blow I think I would start an exercise gym that produced its own energy for the lights, music, etc. To create energy that feeds it self. They had several differant performing groups come to entertain us and they said that their entertainment fed us which produced power so that they could use our energy for their microphones. Its like a constant circle of transfered energy. Any ways... check out this link to see more of the amp energy event and what I have done for the last few days. http://www.humanenergy.ampenergy.com/ oh.... yeah... amp energy is a new energy drink we were promoting. Don't tell any one I said this.... but in my opinion the drink isn't really an energy drink... in fact most riders always wanted water to drink instead!
