LOL DDR OMG

So, our lofty goal of creating a human-powered DDR mat??— Rotterdam (The Netherlands) was one step ahead of us. Sustainable dancing is the future!

Human Powered Exhibits

For all of you human powered technology enthusiasts, here are some museums across the country that have human powered exhibits. Enjoy!

The Imagination Station Science Museum in North Carolina has a pedal power exhibit, where you have the potential to power light bulbs and a drill while pedaling on a bicycle.

The Children's Discovery Museum in San Jose, California also has a collection of human powered exhibits.

People power is also used to power Human Powered Vechices (HPVs). A few examples of HPVs can be found at the Tech Museum in San Jose, California.

Or, if you are into a bicycle race, race a stationary bicycle with your friend!

Human Power Exhibit example

You can power  two 8-watt florescent light bulbs, a 20-led lamp, a transistor radio and together a small 12-volt television...

Generatorz

human power generators and accessories: a bike power generator and a hand crank for small power production applications (< 65 watts)... a good basic mechanism around which we could design an exhibit
