Super idea, attach the "merry-go-round" to a generator and develop DC current to charge the gel batteries in the basement, most of your energy for night-time reading would be supplied with a 0% carbon footprint!!!

A 0% carbon footprint? Are you suggesting to not feed the child? ;-) Anytime a human (or animal) performs labour, he/she/it uses muscles. And just like a combustion engine, muscles need to burn a fuel to get their energy. The fuel comes from reducing sugars, carbohydrates and fats; producing CO₂. And in the digestive system, CH₄ (methane) is produced.	[reply]

Oops! Sorry, must feed the child, but you get 'free' energy because you have to feed them anyway!!! Girlfriends push faster, but can whine and demand jewelery and other high-cost items, thereby raising the cost of the energy. ki6jux "No trees were harmed in the creation of this node.
