Doing the math.. The wattage stays the same, but with 12volts you have around 11 times the amperage. Plus, it would theoretically be 12v DC, also assuming it’s got a diode bridge before the power even exits the treadmill
@@hongli9803 Yes, it does take slightly longer if two slices are loaded into the toaster. But I suspect Robert would still have been good for it, especially if they allowed him to pedal at a more efficient cadence. He was down to 60 rpm at the end, which is far too slow for a sprinter.
If we ASSUME, the only energy loss of the bike is friction in the gears, we could assume that it´s efficiency is like 99 % (because modern gears are quite efficient). However, in order to convert the mechanical energy into an electrical one, you need a generator. So this experiment would just prove how efficient the used generator is. Also, if you are using a bike to move from point a to point b, there is also rolling resistance, wind resistance and all that stuff. Which part in the video got you the conclusion that bicycles are efficient? As for the human body: 0,021 kWh are equivalent to 18 kcal of food. Is that now efficient that the body burnt 1/4 slice of bread in 2 minutes? I really don´t see on what criteria you base your assumptions.
@@keelansquire In professional cycling you need to be clean or you need something which will not be detected the next 10 years. because they keep each test for 10 years to check it later again with new methods.
this DOES put into perspective how amazing the modern age is, how we've been able to engineer a world where toasting bread is something anyone can do, and it's in fact a monumental amount of energy being harnessed
Yeah, I can't. I know its impressive, but can't really get the scale of it. Say, an average bike on an average gym for an average guy who is doing 20 minutes per training and were going to the gym for 5 months, what would the usual/average power be using? Just to have a mental (and real life) comparison to this bestiality of 700w
if you think about the meaning of the units this is actually very impressive. 1 W is 1 Joule per second. 10 Joule is the energy needed to lift 1 kg up 1 m against gravity. So he was lifting the equivalent of 70 kg up 1 meter every second
not only that but he did it for about a whole minute, if you consider the bike a pully system instead he could have lifted a person up a 18 story building in one minute.
We did something like this in high school except it was a 100 watt light bulb. I remember it was insanely hard to get the bulb up to 100% brightness. Some super jock in our class was able to blow the bulb out but even he was extremely tired just from 30 seconds of doing it. I can't even imagine what it must feel like to output 700 watts for a minute. It would probably be easier to hook up a super capacitor to the bike and let him output 300-400 watts where he could do it for half an hour or more.
I always wondered about the 100w bulb powering test, must have a bunch of waste in the system because even a semi-fit but completely untrained person can hold between 100-200 watts for an hour or two.
I remember a similar thing back from 2006 or 2007 I think. It was at a construction fair aka trade show and to tell people about the energy efficiency of LEDs VS incandescent or halogen bulbs they had a bike with a switch that could be used to choose which bulb to power: A colorful pool LED one or a bunch or MR16 12 volt halogen ones. Lighting the LEDs was really easy, however the halogens were another story. The fun prank to do was to switch from LED to halogen whilst someone was pedaling at full speed, it made them stop right away.

This man's an absolute UNIT. I wonder why they kept increasing the resistance instead of making him go at a faster rotation speed with less friction, which may be more suitable for endurance athletes like cyclers. I bet he'd set that toast on fire :D
Trackies are usually less endurance and more anaerobic and sprint-based!! They would increase cadence if he was a road cyclist like your Greg LeMonds and Tadej Pogačars who are small and lean and cycle thousands of kilometers for tours :)
What a really cool demonstration.❤ There are so many different perspectives to take from this video. Something I've been noticing lately is an underemphasis on all of us using less energy in ways large and small. I was born in 1963 and I remember during the " energy crisis of the 70's there was an emphasis on using less energy. Turning lights out, lowering furnace thermostat, 55 mph national speed limit etc., Today there isn't an emphasis on us using less energy like back then. The emphasis seems to be how can we create more energy ie.. wind,waves,solar, geothermal,nuclear, petroleum etc. We of course should continue with exploring, experimenting ,playing with all these methods of extracting energy because our lives seem to depend on it. This video, from just one of many perspectives, demonstrates how much energy is required for the many ways we consume it. This video, for me , emphasizes my need to drive slower, put a sweater on, turn out the lights when I leave the room, put my device on battery saver mode and any other thing I can think of to use less energy. Ironically I discovered this video, because when I was at the Y sweating my ass off trying to stay strong and healthy, I looked around at all my fellow exercises and thought, why don't we generate a little electricity while we're doing this? Even if it's just enough to power the screens every machine has. I guess it's not feasible.
yeah the electricity that even a gym full of elite athletes would generate long-term would pale in comparison with the even just the energy needed to keep the lights running. But fun fact: If you live in a area where the temperature outside is cold, the heat generated from exercise will offset some of the heating requirements for the building (even if only very, very slightly).
@@Rokmononov He's not entirely wrong. It would take more energy to toast 2 slices of bread. Though, I can't think of a reason why it would be a noticeable difference.
@@al2577891 these drug tests are super easy to beat. All drugs and their metabolites have a limited detection time. And you cannot even detect metabolites of bioidentical hormones. The basic process is always the same in muslce based sports. Use high dosages of anabolic steroids and build unnatural amount of muscle mass. Come off the steroids and let natural hormone production recover. Then sign up for competitions and beat the drug test. Even without having any illegal substances in your body you gained a huge advantage. He obviously did this. And then there is also undetectable substances you can take during the competition time like testosterone suspension. Do you also believe that the earth is flat?
@@seshpenguin the heat going into the toast would mean the elements would be a slightly lower temperature, which would lower their resistance, which would draw more current. Although the heat easily escapes out the top of the toaster so it's possible the toast actually restricts element cooling, meaning the reverse is true.
Yes. An Olympic athlete in peak physical condition can produce about 1/3 horsepower on a sustained basis and even that is just for a few hours. An adult male in very good condition can put out about half that amount for a sustained period. Robert was putting out nearly a full one horsepower but as is seen he could only sustain that for a few seconds beyond one minute.
Start doing weight exercises. 100miles will not give you power, but endurance. His power is faked. 700W per 108s very good. But I think he as track olympic cyclist with these gigant legs he should do more than 108 sec of 700 watts. He is biggg, 95kg as a cyclist is monster.
yes, Like why did they keep increasing the incline? HE was producing 700 w easy before they kept simulating incline... German's Second World citizens & king of the lies.
@@Nykoo_- Yes he is saying that we use anything other than the metric system, meaning that we use something that is not the metric system. Just like saying, "I like every subject of school other than math." Meaning that you like all of the subjects but math. So he means that we don't use the metric system.
Ok, I understand now thank you. I was taking it as Americans when using anything other than the metric system which to be fair does work, but the way you put it is probably the way it was intended to be taken as. This is just bc I've never really seen any American avoid the metric system; not to mention it's definitely the second most used system in our nation. I'll admit I was definitely wrong I just thought that my version of the joke made more sense to go for.
@@Nykoo_-, what other systems are there? Also, the comment is a joke about how news stations say stuff like "this hole is 24 dishwashers big" instead of metric units. Thus the comment implies that Americans use Roberts as a unit for power instead of the metric Giga, mega, or kilowatt, 1.4kw would be 2 Roberts in American news station language. Fun fact, Nasa makes calculations in metric and then translates it into imperial because the crew used to not know metric. It has been the cause of several failed launches.
yup, assuming that this was actually rigged up properly, which I doubt, to an AC generator then the less resistance there was (i.e. the higher the wattage at a given voltage), the higher the resistance to his cycling. u can see this if u get a motor, if u spin it then there is no resistance but if you connect the two ires to each other and then spin it, u get more resistance as you speed up the rate of rotation
I've put out about 700 watts on an exercise bike. I couldn't maintain it for 15 seconds and I think I have pretty good legs. It's absurdly tiring. The fact he did it for nearly 2 minutes is mind-boggling.
I cycled for the first time in 3 years last week and managed to put out an average of 230 Watts over 5 minutes with a max output of 365W, holy shit, that wrecked my legs, but felt good as hell.
The even more crazy thing is that you have to take the energy conversion loss (kinetic->electrical->heat energy probably like 90% effeciency which is VERY good for conversions) into account as well, so to get around 700 W to the toaster you need probably close to 800 W from the bike. So basically he put out at least 800 W for like more than 2 mins (I dont think they showed the whole footage) which is insane...
I’ve seen some idea forums mention that gyms should use the their exercise bikes to help power the building. This should give you an idea of how infeasible that is.

The fact that one slot in the toaster was empty, meaning that he could have made 2 slices of bread with the same amount of energy...
Two slices require more energy than just one.
Had they inserted two, most likely they would not have been toasted thoroughly.

That would only be true if the toast provided at least the same amount of energy that was used to make the toast in the first place.

@@al2577891 these drug tests are super easy to beat. All drugs and their metabolites have a limited detection time. And you cannot even detect metabolites of bioidentical hormones.
The basic process is always the same in muslce based sports. Use high dosages of anabolic steroids and build unnatural amount of muscle mass. Come off the steroids and let natural hormone production recover. Then sign up for competitions and beat the drug test. Even without having any illegal substances in your body you gained a huge advantage. He obviously did this.
And then there is also undetectable substances you can take during the competition time like testosterone suspension.

nice stolen comment.
Apparently not a toaster tho.
They would have been twice as efficient if they put two slices of bread in.
I'm personally offended that so much man power was wasted on a half empty toaster.
Or was it half full
Can it be more efficient to put the bread in between his thighs or buttcheeks and let the friction do the work?
Would it? I feel like it would technically draw more current since the heat has somewhere to sink
@@seshpenguin the heat going into the toast would mean the elements would be a slightly lower temperature, which would lower their resistance, which would draw more current.
Although the heat easily escapes out the top of the toaster so it's possible the toast actually restricts element cooling, meaning the reverse is true.

I ride about 100 miles a week and I can only hold 700 watts for about 4 seconds. This guy is insanely strong
Yes. An Olympic athlete in peak physical condition can produce about 1/3 horsepower on a sustained basis and even that is just for a few hours. An adult male in very good condition can put out about half that amount for a sustained period. Robert was putting out nearly a full one horsepower but as is seen he could only sustain that for a few seconds beyond one minute.
Start doing weight exercises. 100miles will not give you power, but endurance. His power is faked. 700W per 108s very good. But I think he as track olympic cyclist with these gigant legs he should do more than 108 sec of 700 watts. He is biggg, 95kg as a cyclist is monster.

Ok, I understand now thank you. I was taking it as Americans when using anything other than the metric system which to be fair does work, but the way you put it is probably the way it was intended to be taken as. This is just bc I've never really seen any American avoid the metric system; not to mention it's definitely the second most used system in our nation. I'll admit I was definitely wrong I just thought that my version of the joke made more sense to go for.
@@Nykoo_-, what other systems are there?
Also, the comment is a joke about how news stations say stuff like "this hole is 24 dishwashers big" instead of metric units. Thus the comment implies that Americans use Roberts as a unit for power instead of the metric Giga, mega, or kilowatt, 1.4kw would be 2 Roberts in American news station language.
Fun fact, Nasa makes calculations in metric and then translates it into imperial because the crew used to not know metric. It has been the cause of several failed launches.

Pro tip: increase efficiency 100% by putting in two pieces of bread.
How would having two slices of bread increase efficiency? They'd both only be toasted on one side, assuming they'd even fit.
There are two slots for bread to go in......
If it was only a one slotted toaster would it need less power and therefor be easier too cook? I dont actually know so can someone tell me
yup, assuming that this was actually rigged up properly, which I doubt, to an AC generator then the less resistance there was (i.e. the higher the wattage at a given voltage), the higher the resistance to his cycling. u can see this if u get a motor, if u spin it then there is no resistance but if you connect the two ires to each other and then spin it, u get more resistance as you speed up the rate of rotation
I've always said the same thing about cars, DOUBLE the efficiency of your vehicle by riding with a passenger, instead of alone.
Now imagine doing this everytime you want a piece of toasted bread
no more toast for me

Bro took the "Let him cook" Phrase too seriously
I've put out about 700 watts on an exercise bike. I couldn't maintain it for 15 seconds and I think I have pretty good legs. It's absurdly tiring. The fact he did it for nearly 2 minutes is mind-boggling.
I cycled for the first time in 3 years last week and managed to put out an average of 230 Watts over 5 minutes with a max output of 365W, holy shit, that wrecked my legs, but felt good as hell.
I tried and thought I was going to die.
The even more crazy thing is that you have to take the energy conversion loss (kinetic->electrical->heat energy probably like 90% effeciency which is VERY good for conversions) into account as well, so to get around 700 W to the toaster you need probably close to 800 W from the bike. So basically he put out at least 800 W for like more than 2 mins (I dont think they showed the whole footage) which is insane...
Just watch crit racers like NorCal cycling. They can sprint for 1000 W or more.
@@cryora sprint of course, so peak power only. Förstemann did 7.5 watts per kilo in two minutes and has a peak of over 2000 watts.
