Generator bike
Hop on our stationary generator bike and convert your energy into light! As you pedal you create mechanical energy by powering the generator, which in turn is converted into electrical energy. Flip on the light switches to complete the circuit, and see the light bulbs shine.
Use our wattmeter to compare the amount of energy it takes to turn on a set of fluorescent light bulbs and a set of incandescent light bulbs. Will you be able to feel the difference?
