While reading this I was moving my feet, like I often do. Stimming, ADHD, whatever reason.
As a supporter of sustainable energy, I wondered if someone could design a generator that would make use of our stimming/repetitive actions to generate power. I wondered how much of my energy was getting wasted every day, every week, every month.
Your thoughts?

A pedal powered meeting table? Just when you thought you've heard it all!

Umm, the table does not get charged by the pedals. The devices do.

Yeah, I kinda gathered that. I wonder how many at the table would be willing to use the pedals. I also wonder how many at the table would be on the spectrum.

Hmm, so you don't think it's a practical possibility. I'd like to know what is your idea of practical.
The last time I checked, more than 1% of the population was on the spectrum.

I'd like the devices and appliances at my home to work on foot-power and solar power. It's better than paying the power company to destroy the environment.
