  6. How long does it take _you_ to cycle 401.5 km? A week? Two days? A very long day?

    What about 6h? That's the new world record, with a fully-faired bicycle, completed by Francesco Russo from Switzerland a few weeks ago, on a car test track in Germany. This record has just been certified.

  15. I will neither confirm nor deny purchasing a treadle driven scroll saw, a Miller's Fall 387. Will need restoration to work. The drive wheel mounted on a stand could be mounted back on the saw, and a wood or metal arm attached to a wooden platform on a hinge. #humanpower

  16. Aha, some 2x4's in the right place and this would be a fast and simple bicycle generator. #humanpower #projects

  17. Maybe the first and last time you will ever see someone who has rigged up a treadle to generate DC power. (Not very efficient! A bicycle is a lot easier). Good exercise though, ha ha. #humanpower #treadle

  18. Aha, found the scavenged treadmill motor. Now, to figure out how to mount this. I wonder if it's better to have the treadle belt over the flywheel (like a sewing machine, big diameter) instead of where the serpentine belt used to go.... probably will have to drill some belt holes to hold everything together to the wood top. #projects #humanpower #solarpunk

  19. Hahahahaha got the treadle working again! They had spray painted it all and locked the joints in place. Unbolted and rebolted things, reinforced the frame with some scrap wood, attached to the table, and lubricated with TriFlow lubricant (which has Teflon in it). Worked it until it started moving. Now to drill holes in the table and get another belt or two. #humanpower #treadle

  20. Oooh, found a book to purchase about converting treadles (and bicycles, etc.) into usable power for all sorts of devices. "The Human Powered Home" by Tamara Dean! #humanpower #treadle #bicycle #biketooter #engineering #solarpunk

  21. New challenge accepted. Estate sale treadle base with no attached top (random top was on it being used for antique display) which was being used decoratively. Now to figure out how to attach this and make it work, mechanically (alignment will be required, I think). Then, will figure out how to use the treadle to drive a salvaged motor from a treadmill to charge a 12V battery. Or, can mate this with the next treadle powered sewing machine that crops up at the right price. #humanpower #projects

    He started his 4,833-day journey on July 12, 1994 and completed it on on October 6, 2007.

  32. Yesterday I went to check on our bike generator that's currently on show at Pavillon de l'Arsenal, Paris (pavillon-arsenal.com/fr/exposi)

    I see we have improvements to make regarding vibration. After several months of regular use, many bolts got loose and rattle.

  39. My first serious conversation with #chatgpt As a pretty inexperienced and lame Rust developer I was struggling around ffi, bindgen and how to use generated code. It turns out that #AI was confused as well and hasn't give me an useful advice.

    Pros: it works well as an advanced search engine - gimme a Rust crate with bindgen and *FILE

    Cons: you better know what to ask _exactly_

    BTW: Solved it myself by formulating my problem better. #humanpower #brainrulez

  40. tens of thousands of #layoffs - if only there was a way to turn all of this into a #catalyst for innovative #startups.

    the talent is there but we have a disconnect between #funding and #HumanPower.

    And maybe some of those startups would set a path for more #humane and #HumanFirst companies - and not just for the tech sector.

  41. @Trailoflive Met vier wielen is DHL, wij hebben een bak Velove met 6 wielen :) Die heb ik gisteren uiteindelijk gepakt voor mijn 'Bol.com ronde'.

    En onze bakfietsen zijn niet ondersteund :) Ok, we hebben nu een paar Dockrs, maar die zijn tijdelijk tot we weer genoeg Bullit's hebben.

  42. Coucou les Mammouths ! Dans notre démarche de "changer de vie", nous faisons pas mal de recherches et tests sur l'électricité en autonomie. Je recherche des infos/guides sur la génération électrique depuis un vélo. Nous ne cherchons pas à alimenter une maison complète ! Juste les tel, les laptop et des lampes 5v.
    Pour info, j'ai environs 30Kg de réserve énergétique autour des abdos. 😄
    Merci pour vos retours, boost, etc !

  43. And this (in addition to all of its other benefits) is why I support #humanpower as the #renewable backup-of-choice for #wind, #solar, and #hydro. If you have to generate your own power - even if it's only for a couple hours a week when it's not windy or sunny - then you have intrinsic motivation to use less

    (Even if not though, using more power = having to build more generators, so the idea still applies as long as it's decentralized)
