[2012-03-21 07:16:24] bary1234 - Are those dynamos ...Are those dynamos rather crappy or what is this all about? I mean come on, all that muscle power could have worked a proper turbine. Build a proper "wheel of pain" from Conan, and hook that baby up.

[2011-05-28 15:32:52] halflifeproductionz - fucking ridiculous! ...fucking ridiculous! can't believe how many people are needed to power a shower.
[2011-05-21 16:35:52] saf768 - every one used lots ...every one used lots of electricity we should build a massive battrey and cyle generate the exaxt amount of electricity that was used
[2011-05-21 08:35:20] beancube2010 - My office need a ...My office need a gym like this.
[2011-05-21 08:33:16] beancube2010 - The man in display ...The man in display are for motivation. He is good for your health.

[2010-12-17 01:58:53] Matrixhst88 - what is the name ...what is the name of the show master (the women) :D
[2010-12-09 16:41:22] nerys71 - well bikes gennies ...well bikes gennies and humans are also rather inefficient too :-) (at least at this kind of activity) - I can tell you this if I ever manage to get some solar panels and a grid tie in installed I WILL make an exercise bike connected to it. it just makes sense if your going to pedal might as well get some power out of it.
[2010-11-30 15:49:02] maurotamm - it clearly shows ...it clearly shows how much energy average person wastes while showering...
[2010-11-29 10:48:36] acoti - The food energy ...The food energy would have gone into working out to begin with, so why not redirect it into electrical energy?
[2010-11-13 21:01:28] 8Julius8 - lol... I'd laugh if ...lol... I'd laugh if the old guy started wanking in the shower... XD
[2010-10-30 17:10:23] nehorlavazapalka - it saved nothing, ...it saved nothing, do you know how much energy does it take to produce food...?
[2010-10-08 23:45:32] jazzx251 - Well, the Wii is ...Well, the Wii is the latest thing. And that requires some energy to play. You would get kids earning their power and then being too knackered to use it! (especially Wii Fit - ouch!)
[2010-10-08 23:43:39] jazzx251 - lol - isn't that ...lol - isn't that just a bit PED-antic?
[2010-10-08 23:41:00] jazzx251 - Boo. It's on prime ...Boo. It's on prime time at 7:30pm on BBC1. Family entertainment slot. It's perfect.
[2010-10-08 13:33:48] yalphax - @junglebooksteve I ...@junglebooksteve I suspect that, like most people, they would have been having a shower that day anyway. This means that it wasn't necessarily a waste of electricity and also saved a small amount of coal, oil, gas or nuclear generated electricity.

[2010-09-22 09:30:41] kleykenb - Probably not the ...Probably not the first to make this remark but these cyclists are going to need a good long shower after this. More factual : they should have included an electric accumulator somewhere, because now most of their effort went to waste.
[2010-09-17 15:40:54] winterlandboy - BluePeter for ...BluePeter for slightly older kids.Patronising and just older presenters who belong on kids TV expecially that Richard Hammond lookalike thing.
