very interesting stuff.
I would not mind a sustem where i could get a little exersize ( maybe 15 min in AM and 15 in in PM) and recover some electricity.

Would it be possable to use this in place of an Alternator in the car?
30 min of Bike Time at the end of each day to recharge the car Battery?
( i would use a switch to turn OFF the alt in the car for longer triips of lack of charge )

using pedal power instead of Gas to recharge car bat. interesting..
