I love the idea of biking for an hour a day to bring electric to the grid, it promotes healthy living as could help lower energy costs, you could probably even set it up with kids bikes
I live in a climate where I neither need heat nor air conditioning not even a clothes dryer.
Three of us in our house use about 3000 watts of electricity on average daily, that's 1/10 of the average home in NA. This usage is for lights, cooking, fridge, freezer, washing machine, computer, mobile devices, vacuum and other appliances here and there. We are very frugal.
An elite cyclist can make about 400 watts an hour, an average fit person about 250 W/h. It would take one person 12 hours of steady pedalling to make our miserly 3000 watts or 12 people for an hour. It would take 15 people pedalling steadily for 8 hours hours a day to power the average house in NA.
You are very naive. Please inform yourself before presenting an opinion. It's easy enough on the internet.
@@And1Mell Sir that maybe the case that does not mean it is not a good idea. Even more so when I live in a first world country where a lot of people cannot pay for gas and electric because of our government
@@And1Mell also please refrain from insulting people on the Internet. It only makes you look bad
@@ravenghoul15331) I just did the math for you, to demonstrate how terribly silly this idea is. 2) I didn't insult you. Calling you naive is an accurate descriptor considering your comment. Take my advice. You are responsible for your feelings of inadequacy, not me.
@@And1Mell what feelings of inadequacy? You called me naive yet you know nothing about me, I informed you that it was an insult and your response is to say I have feelings on inadequacy which again is wrong because you know nothing about me. Also I have the personal time where I could bike for 12 hrs a day
I'm so glad you guys mentioned nuclear power as a critical part of electrical power generation. Nuclear energy releases about a million times more energy per reaction than chemical reactions in fossil fuel plants. This means a million times less waste and none of it goes into the atmosphere or environment.
@Central Intelligence Agency a small town could build their own thorium reactor.
Really, it's not that complicated
I know it's not really the point but Most (all?) forms of electricity are from a nuclear source.
@@dhruv9868 It's complicated. First, nuclear power mainly uses uranium or plutonium, which won't last forever. There's also the problem with storing the nuclear waste as there may be liabilities in leakage. Not to mention the strong public misconception that nuclear power is dangerous, even though per kw, it actually causes the least deaths compared to sources like coal. However, some countries have embraced nuclear power, such as France, which actually has 70 percent of their power come from nuclear.
Nuclear power is dangerous abd far from suistainable. Just look at the mining for the ore, the pollution of whole regions and the unsolved and never solved problem with waste. It is not an alternative and never will be
@@bastiklein4724 Exactly. I think the only nuclear power which could be promising is nuclear fusion, which would be extremely powerful and last for thousands of years if we mine tritium from the moon, but the technology just isn't there yet. But investing all our money into something that we're not sure will work is pretty risky, considering how we have sources like solar or wind that we know do work.
yall are the first people that have brought bioenergy to my attention.
i think it's a great idea and if you had wired a usb to a power bank i believe you would have been able to charge a phone, it was a great experiment and using our own ... excess is fantastic effciency.
I'm a wind turbine technician✊ I'm with the movement
I know the bikes are not very efficient at generating electricity, but a government program that offers reduced-cost exercise bikes (hooked to the grid) could be a multifaceted approach that 1. reduces peak demand as people go to the gym at peak hours 2. encourages fitness, especially in places like the US where obesity is expensive economically 3. makes the technology more visible and encourages competition/progress
What can I say now? I love everything about Greg... The way be makes everything sound so fun and enjoyable is all I am livin for...🥰 Love you Greg.
As a kid, i too, really wanted a bike set up in the living room to power the TV for electricity and then we could all get exercise while watching our favorite TV shows. I'm so glad to see you guys try it and how well it worked :-)
Jhhhhhp8
You're missing a possible yet more conventional approach. You had a cord of wood stacked behind you, I'm guessing for heat and or cooking? Run a coil of pipe into heat source to scavenge heat from that. Then use that steam to turn a generator. Bonus is in addition to electric you also gain a ready source of hot water if you utilize a cooling tank. 😎
Totally. It was like the first, aha, when we learned we could even convert our waste/after-effects of one thing for more than one benefit. You could even use the rising of heat on your chimney vent to power an aerodynamic charging station. It might take time, but as long as heat rises, you have power. IBI, its slow but its sustainable.
2 birds, 1 stone. Thermal plus Aerodynamic power. IRL, thats 3 sources: thermal heat for home, for water, for a sudo-weather-vain/hot water/turbine for charging.
And he could use a water stream to automate the bicycle concept.
Greg: Imagine we found...
Mitch: A terrifying animal?
Greg: Or treasure.
Such a beautiful snapshot of their brains.

I would be all up for a cycling desk chair. I can picture myself pedalling for hours to charge everything around the house. Mixes my love for cycling and my desk job in a wonderful way.
I personally would have a treadmill like that to power my phone to watch tv.
@@extropiantranshuman that would also be amazing!
The trick with the fuel cells is that, like batteries, you can also hook them up in sets, in a series-parallel configuration to boost both the current and the voltage. Set up 15-20 fuel cells wired in series on their own, and a separate group of 15-20 more in series on their own, each producing 5v. Then, connect their final outputs in parallel to the load. You'll get 5v at twice the current, approximately. Gang-up as many groups as needed to get the current high enough to charge the phone.
Or... you can just get a step up/buck converter and be done.
Good idea
As a multi-tasker, I love making energy from biking
Then get ktor pedal generator :) i heard they are good for that :)
Watch black mirror season 1 Episode 2, please
You aren't making energy, you are transferring it. Also exactly how are you harnessing this energy?
@@randybobandy9828 apart from that, energy harnessed from the human body is a very inefficient way of doing it. It would be more efficient to burn the food instead of eating and then trying to get energy out of it. Also dont forget the wear on the knees and arms.

You should never walk carrying a spade over your shoulder, slip over backwards and you risk putting the blade ( the part where you step on it) through your shoulder.
I bet you're real fun at parties.
Forget phones, how much pee do we need to power the fridge?
The bike as a source of power is great, in theory, but have to remember that it takes energy to generate that energy. Sure, you could power, say a light bulb all night or charge a cell phone on maybe a few hours of peddling, but that time takes away from gathering (harvesting) food and other chores around the your home. Sometimes the peddling will take away from another vital system.
But what about at gyms, there you can have bike generators and it doesn't take away from people's time because they go to gym anyway
@@ronansuperfrog8425 that would depend on how much energy is generated, and whether or not if people can use it at their homes, if there’s enough generated in the first place.
@@ronansuperfrog8425 you could do that it could help charge a battery bank.
A decent spin for the average person would charge a cell phone very quickly @ 50w.
My plan is a waterwheel that can belt onto an old washer motor.

For the current/voltage problem, why not place the cells in series AND in parallel?
Just do series of parallel (or the inverse)
I think a parallel of series would look fancier.
This show was really well put together!
Very professionally constructed and edited. I watched through the end!
only time ive been tempted to get youtube red. Amazing vids. I personally made a little solar panel with a couple spare cells that can charge a phone on a sunny day!
This is the kind of content we need.
100%!!!!!!! I actually want to see this in a real world setting where someone who owns a home slowly incorporates it into their lives without losing any of their power/functionality (like be able to not have to work in the dark), in addition to this video!
Sadly not doing good by the numbers less than 40k views after 2 days?
Watch black mirror season 1 Episode 2
Yes
No it isnt.
It would have been nice to see y’all try running half the fuel cells in series, then in parallel. Best of both worlds
th-cam.com/video/IuVma8y69vQ/w-d-xo.html
Two suggestions.
1. Make the bike rote a bigger wheel, should technically make more power.
2. Have the pee “charge batteries that required lower amps and eventually might be able to catch on. Also make sure the lights are LED as they use less power.
what about 1. making the wheel lighter and 2."hooking" more wheels to the main wheel.
Also, more generators around the wheel. *edited*
@@endiii27 You are also adding resistance, so you would have to pedal harder to even spin them, you can't get more power out than you put in.
Admittedly I'm not in great shape, but when I'm on the bike I can put in about 200 watts for maybe 2 hours before I'm completely spent, a professional cyclist might be able to do 300-350 watts for that amount of time, maybe even a bit longer, the hour record requires about 400 watts for 1 hour, theoretically a bit less with optimum aerodynamics. That is about your ceiling for a setup like this, limited by what the human body is capable of, and only if you could get 100% efficiency, and that will never happen.
So unless you have a pro-cyclist hidden in the shed going all day long, you are realistically not going to get more than max 0.5 kilowatt hours out per person, per day, and that would still require a lot of time and effort, and a very efficient setup.
Imagine if you could attach multiple generators to the wheel which each had no resistance. You could generate multiple times the energy that you would generate with one no-resistance generator attached to the wheel.
The size of will not affect generated power, only how hard it is to pedal.
great video, I rarely watch long videos but got my attention through the full video.
They could do this with gym bikes maybe? Think of how much electricity could be generated.
It would be enough to power the gym. And yes they could do this.
Genius! Why aren't we doing this
Think of how many calories they would have to burn -and based on the last episode, they are way short on calories.
@@mariahelen1089 its hard and expensive to hook up i assume, like, you'd need to remodel the whole place's wiring system and all that. I actually once thought of the idea of a mobile gym that's powered like that in high school though. (I assume an old container/trailer would be easier to remodel than a shop lot, with some solar panels on the roof to make extra energy). Then i realised i have no money lol :/
@@kucimiao it will be easier in the future if more gyms install solar panels and use batteries like many homes do today. Then you could simply hook up the bike to the battery.
I feel guilty watching these videos for free. They are so high quality.

11:01 batter capacity is measured in Ah or mAh and these batteries are not mili but 10Ah
All the appliances you used can be run from DC, if you cut out the inverter you can save some efficiently.
600wh can be done in an hour and some change assuming no losses since human is about 1hp~700w.
With losses at each step probably closer to 2-3 hour if you optimise the setup for efficiency
"Our power has been officially cut off!"
proceeds to show electric lights burning inside for the rest of the episode.
How are you supposed to take a video in complete darkness? Of course they need light to film and we dont even know what parts of the video were taken in advance.
Right, just like you can't attend a climate summit on anything besides a private jet.
The amount of electricity used to produce this video probably makes the 'average Canadian homes usage' pale in comparison, but that's not important.
19:22 also you can do series parallel too. That way you can increase voltage and current.
Charging a cell phone needs about 5V and 2A, or about 10 watts. If you want to use pee power, you'd have to make banks of 20 cells in series, then arrange those banks in parallel with one another to get the current up.
I don't know how many amps each of Greg's fuel cells would have generated when short-circuited, but it's probably very little, as I suspect those fuel cells had high internal resistance, which in turn reduces their power output. To keep internal resistance low, you want to put the two electrodes as close as possible to one another without them touching.
Bottom line: it's definitely _possible_ to charge a cell phone using urine.... you just need a ton of fuel cells.
Increasing efficiency with solar is going to be a huge game changer for renewable energies. If we can just increase the efficiency to 50%, we will have a 3x increase from currenty solar panel efficiency compared to today's efficiency, which is roughly between 11-15 percent! That means using 3x less land to produce the same amount of power. Solar farms will generate a lot more power and consumer level solar panels that you and I typically have can become tiny beasts! I'm excited to see where that goes!
An efficiency greater than 33.7% is not possible, that violates the Shockley limit. The experimental double-layer material panels could potentially eek out a bit more, but so much energy in the solar spectrum comes as infrared and will never be harvestable with any band gap devices. Even reaching 25% for commercial panels will be a huge engineering achievement.
My phone is my escape from this existential dread that is life on this planet

Now this is worth the research
Im surprised they didnt do series in the first place and went with parallel, since in series the potential difference adds up, the pee idea seems cool but probably would be better with some (theoretical) bioengineered microorganisms that could generate electricity
Well it actually wont matter cuz if it doesnt work in parallel it wont work in series one has more currenct and less voltage and the other has more voltage and less current and what we are looking for here is POWER which is current*voltage so increasing voltage and decreasing current would leave power the same
@@Ahmed-vs1ui 09
Definitely a time to try series parallel banks. That's the only way I see it ever getting the current and voltage you need
Glad that I got to see the show even though it was 2 years ago. Love TH-cam and your content
I'm personally more in favour of moving to nuclear power NOW, and then adding green power when we have developed easier and more economical ways of storing the power green power creates.
Yes same.
That's the CANDU attitude!
more like it's the only way
@@MostWeakest i think it depends on location. In some countries solar is great. On some countries wind is great. And then there are countries that don't have too much wind or sun light and in those countries nuclear is great.
@@nebulous962 yeah, i mean nuclear + renewable energy is the only way out for the humanity
Even though you would say it out loud correctly, it bugs me that it visibly shows "30kW per day" of energy instead of "30kWh per day". You might of well just put 30 bananas per day. Units matter.
I will learn more from this series than what i will ever learn in school...
Now thats saying something about the education system...
Wow I love it!!! The place is beautiful and the content is very helpful
Hi mo
such a fun concept! keep em coming!
A small windmill would be perfect for the amount of power they are looking for
They could try and find a stream uphill and have a backup also
30kWh per day??? What?
Our monthly consumption is only 100kWh. And we are in a Tropical Country 🤣🤣
Setting cells in parallel and hoping for higher voltage thats what i call science....
This is the thing we need to be include in our education system 🙏🙏
No
Just a note about nuclear power - it does take a considerable amount of time to bring a nuclear plant online and producing electricity. This does make it a somewhat awkward bed partner with renewables (i.e. it can't just be turned up instantly to balance the grid load). Great video btw!
I love this! Is this TH-cam exclusive? I'd love to watch the entire serie but I won't get TH-cam premium..
If I could do my morning cardio, and cut down my electric bill, I'd do it. Pedal power sounds like an amazing idea.
It is, easier with a regular car alternator, which has built in voltage regulator. Combined with a multiplier gear ratio you could get a good amount of charge in your batteries. Plus you can get a working alternator from a junk yard for cheap, so you're upcycling and making your own power.

I'm finally watching this episode. Nice save guys. Very funny.
30 year BACK I SENT an article to generate power PROJECT from bikes .

To be completely honest, I think urine's best "role" in helping to solve climate crisis would be to use it as a nutrient for agriculture since it's rich in nitrogen (ammonia, urea, etc.) and can either be used as a fertilizer when diluted or be added to compost that is low in nitrogen. Synthetizing chemical fertilizers requires a lot of power so it would save energy to use wasted urine instead.
This is similar to one of the concepts for certain aquaponic setups that cycle water between a fish tank and a grow bed. The ammonia from the fish urine is used as nutrient supply of nitrogen for the plants in the grow bed and the plants from the grow bed act as a filter providing clean water to the fish tank.
It’s what plants crave

Connect the chain directly to the generator through installing a sprocket on the generator. Less losses.
The pee cells, you can use a series-parallel circuit. Basically, the best way to do it is to connect 2 to 3 more bottles in parallel to the ones already present to the series chain. You can charge a phone that way.
You can also get an electrical capacitor circuit that will pulse charge the phone, or make the led shine brighter for shorter amounts of time.
This way, you can make it nearly twice as bright, by letting it flicker in the tens of times per second, without noticing the led going on or off. Green leds are also great for charging fluorescent (light emitting) paints.

I feel you...
This video is great! It’s funny and informative, and helped refresh some of that high school science I’d forgotten over the years!
MrThessalonian did a video using copper pipes and iron or steel rods in the center pushed into the ground and packed with earth inside and the rod of a different type of metal shoved down onto the center and got a whopping 1.5v each you can run them in series until you achieve the voltage you wish, then make 3 or 4 more banks of same number of cells then you need to run each bank in parallel to make up the current you desire.
Great stuff! This reminds me of the South Korean series, The Human Condition

you guys should do a video about what if we covered the entire Sahara dessert with solar pannels
You guys are amazing with these ideas and implementations
Couldn't u connect a set of jars in series with a second set i parallel, the current would increase then? but ofcourse u wud need a lot of jars. the bike experiment was very practical and can be used to build DIY electric bikes as well.
Another thing is piezoelectric generation through pressure from walking, but the current generated would be in microAmps.

It’s actually quite easy to build a basic wind turbine. You just need a bunch of copper wire, some magnets, wood, and some wood working tools.
That was the best way I've ever seen parallel and series described
Great ideas but magnetic generator works much easier I run my whole house and I use every thing even welding and never had a problem I have been off the grid for 3 years roughly

Not only you got electricity, you can also drop some weight and stay active.
Now I want that
Note : scaling up any form of energy production will have environmental costs- when gas engines were first made, or the first coal burning electric plants were built, their impact was minimal.
If you build enough solar, or put up enough windmills, there will be other side effects beyond the ones already known from it's relatively small development. Such as if huge areas are covered by solar panels, how will that affect ground temperature on a wide scale, or removing significant amounts of energy from the wind could affect weather patterns?
The two key principles i think are most important: diversify and separation of energy and state. Get the gov't (the largest polluters and energy waster) out of the way, as long as natural rights (property rights in particular) are respected.
Very good bike and customer service

It's no joke. Your video about riding bikes to power your house is foreshadowing what will be required from all of us in the future if you keep promoting it.
We will one day all be forced to spend time on a stationary bike, or treadmill to "do our share" to power the electrical grid which we will all be forced to share communally.
Keep it up. We will soon all be slaves to a treadmill or bike.

You can do banks with your pee power. You'd create a bank of 10 or whatever jars, hook those up in series to get your voltage, then you connect the banks in parallel. Also, you're going to want that wiring to be bigger gauge because you're getting a lot of resistance loss. This idea would definitely work you're just way underestimating how big of a bio-battery you're going to need. It'd be like 100 jars.
i was thinking the same thing.

I see no reason municipal sewage treatment couldn't offset some of its energy usage with thermal transfer batteries, microvoltage harvesting solar *and hydrogeneration. Highways and railways should be lined with vertical turbines using the lighting poles we already have. Let's green the essential infrastructure we have at the same time as converting grid scale over to carbon light generation and storage.
You obviously have no concept of return on investment. Not only is this insane economically, but also in terms of power. You will NEVER get enough energy out to offset what you put in.
Solar panels only return positive after 2 YEARS.
Wind turbines (despite the propaganda) NEVER TURNS AN ENERGY PROFIT (and will also never turn a net carbon footprint)

The bike thing is a good idea, but no where near an original one. The Vietnamese used to do it underground to power everything they needed. It'll definitely work, it just needs to be applied properly.
I have some ideas of generating electricity, gonna work on them soon
Really enjoying this series!
see this is a cool episode - learning how to make electricity with stuff you already own and use - like urine, a bike, and mud, which is way more practical for those who don't and can't have renewables. Keep it up - I like this style - utilizing what one has to decrease their resource consumption!
