Not a lot. Maybe charge up your Ipod, while you listen to some Itunes?
IMHO, use that extra carb energy to earn (shoveling snow?) enough money
to buy some solar PV.. That gets you a green power source..
Need to workout some more? (I know I do) Add to the size of your PV array!
I use a little 10W array w/ a charge controller & (old)12V car battery
to run my 12v RC nicad charger and some ham radio gear..
Of course it's all low power stuff.. Things like this e-scooter, won't work..
