I tried visiting the site but the design was incredibly annoying.

I take it this was some kind of joke.

Now I have that image in mind, where some Morlock finds that thing 100000 years after we have blown up our civilization and can actually make use of it.

Well, I assume this isn't real, but.. I'd want to know the actual number - how much more (than in the demo) work'd we need to do (energy to produce) to actually power a CPU/GPU which could use real small on-device models..

I really want to know, no matter how big that number unfortunately is.

I love this idea but for gamers who need an incentive to workout. You can only game on power you generated with your own muscles.

TBH I'd buy that.

Seems people do already, for your next small gift exchange or if you birthday look up "USB Hand Crank Phone Charger" it's like $20.

Edit: I confess, kind of tempted, 41 EUR for a "big" one https://www.bol.com/be/fr/p/zimoros-handslingergenerator-kra...

I watched the "is this real" video and I'm still* not sure if it's real lol.

Regardless of this website presentation, the idea is sound and I'm behind it. We need to stop giving everything away to a hyper concentrated group of wealthy super elites that do not have our best interests at heart. We already have disappointing politicians that are elected. Now we also have disappointing unelected rich decision makers altering our lives based on what bar they had their next back of napkin scheme at.

They need to tackle two American problems at once and turn it into an exercise bike!

Addressed in the video, but now looks like we've got three problems.

Sorry, I watched it sans audio. I don't have twitter (or insta or fb) so their links default to muted on click. That said, it would still be good if we could address general comprehension, exercise, and private AI usage all with this one hand crankable device!

I'm a bit disappointed you don't have to insert physical tokens to operate the handle

Slavery with extra steps? Are we trying to power some douche-bag scientist's car battery?
