I'm afraid you'd need a bicycle to power that array.
Or a slave in a treadmill.
My son is a fitness fanatic and works out on a home gym every day -  
all that wasted energy! I'm trying to work out a way to hook him into  
the domestic power grid and save us money. We might even make a  
profit. A treadmill isn't a bad idea. Maybe something based on one of  
those stairclimber machines.
