What about a sterling engine mounted half indoor and half outdoor with fans on it (powered by the bike drive) A full on heat pump for a home is going to use a large part of its energy to move it’s cooling substance through long tubes but this could be enough to heat or cool a single room noticeably.

Wow! This innovation is very promising, can't wait for these to be massively distributed in every nation so that more people could opt for its environment friendly technology. We could go a long way with such devices, if only more people would opt for its beneficial technology.

Hi, i’ve recently been thinking about a similar idea.
I’ve done some research and i turns out that only a top athelete cycling at full pelt can produce 200watts an hour. Obviously this stint can only be held for a short period of time. It is more realistically going to be 75watts over a 2 hour period.

My idea was to run several of these bike powered generators in parallel so you would be able to multiply your output by the number of generators you have.
