I assumed the bike would be used to generate an electrical current for low amperage arc welding. I did not expect friction stud welding of aluminum.

The stretch on the rider's legs as he's peddling makes my knees hurt.

Next thing you know they're going to come up with a pedal powered steel mill 
Fossil fuel free, indeed. Now if only it actually did something useful.
Still I agree with the guy who says "despite being the worst welder i've ever seen, it's got to be the best welder i've ever seen"
