The Energy Bike
This exercise bike has been converted to generate electricity by pedal power. Participants can experiment, and try lighting up a selection of energy efficient and not-so-efficient light bulbs. You can really feel the difference! This is a fun and active way to demonstrate electricity consumption and waste, and get the energy saving message across.
