    You can buy kits to transform your trainer into a power generator. I had visions of using one to charge up our Prius and then driving using pedal power (purely novelty - the concept is clearly not efficient).

    We have a hand-crank grain mill, ice cream maker and cream separator....eventually, we plan to use the bike to operate all of them (which would be way more efficient than using the hand-crank). It's on our list of projects (unfortunately, this list is about three miles long....).

    Got a link on the web, to these kits GLC? My partner is just curious, that's all.

    I can see it already, you will have power rerouters that will be computerized once the butter finishes churning, the gelato is freshly made before the breakfast grain cereal.
