This is . . . well . . . different
 

Ed Begley type propaganda......though come to think of it I know Ed Begley does this for toast & doesn't put out nearly this much.

Therefore, I declare some serious BS in however they required Robert to generate the power for this thing.

Oh, and Robert's quads are freakin sick!

Yo dude! 74cm circumference thighs? I have the same thickness! Should have become a track cyclist...

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.

I want to see Ed Begley operate a 700W toaster, in real time, long enough to toast bread.
