Kyoto what?


Do you know what Kyoto is all about?

I find that the word Kyoto is in everyones mouth, but there's not to many people that actually know what it is all about. I found a page that explains it very well: Kyoto 101. Go check it out!

From Your Muscles straight to the Outlet


say it like Arnold:

"Froom yooa Mussels, sträght to ze Uh-ootlet!"

Arnold would probably approve of this project very much and he would generate lots of power as well. I'd like to present to you: We'lo.

It's a project a friend of mine started, where they harness the power of gym machines, transforms it into "proper" power in order to light up non-profit, government and corporate organizations. At his point the power output is not very large, because humans don't really produce that much energy, but we need to keep it in mind. With LED lighting technology and higher efficiency dynamos (the part that produces the power on the gym machine), we might be able to create more relevant power in the future. It's these small changes I believe that can make a big difference in changing peoples minds... and their weight. Lets help We'lo in their wonderful endeavors.Dave McGhee powering up a display with the We'lo bike.
