How Much Money Can I earn from pedal power kW-hours?
Assume your power company charges you $0.10 per kW-Hour. This means that it would cost you 10 Cents to run a 1000 Watt projector for one hour while watching a movie in your living room. Now assume that you wanted to run that same movie projector by bike pedal power generator. You would need 10 adults in good shape. Each one would average about 100 Watts. So 10 People all at once pedaling for an hour would earn a total of $0.10 (Each of the ten bikers could split the money and walk away with a penny). So the bottom line in this example is you can earn about $0.01 U.S. Dollars per hour using a pedal power generator. Now the other scenario is if you are in a 3rd world country where there is no infrastructure to deliver power to your town. Assume it would cost more than a Million Dollars to pay for power lines and power poles to be installed along a path to bring your town power. What would a kW-Hour be worth then? Much more than $0.10 per kW hour !! It would cost $50,000 to setup 1,000 bi
