Thats right, wouldn't it be nice if every time you sat your ass on that exercise bike or other thing you were actually generating energy for your community. Just a thought. please feel free to comment.

      There's no way to make it pencil out. Even if every machine in a gym were running at the full bore that a human could put out, it probably wouldn't be enough power to to keep the facility's lights on. Such a system, which would put out a relative pitiance of energy, would require a surprisingly expensive infrastructure to install and maintain.

      In any event, I fail to see how this is a tribe idea, unless you somehow want to harness this power to run tribe's server farm.
