This seems pretty plausible to me, although the ergo's and cadance could be better for the rider. Generating contiuous 700w AC takes a lot of power. Consider this, most gasoline powered 1500W generators use 3hp engines. So to produce 700w, Robert would need to produce about 1.4-1.5hp. That's serious power for a human to develop.
Ed Begley's 10 minute ride charges batteries, that also happen to be charged with solar power. The stored energy in the batteries does the work.
