RE: Is the Play Pump the answer to the world's clean water problems?

Problem #2 jumped to my mind as soon as I read the intro. Glad that you told us it was true.

Okay, how about this scenario though:

  1. Hook a PS4 up to a recumbent bike/electric generator.
  2. The PS4 consumes about 100 to 120 W. A computer monitor consumes about 20 to 40 W for a total of 120 W to 160 W power consumption.
  3. A kid on a recumbent bike/power generator can output maybe 60 to 80 W over the long term and ... shit the math doesn't work out. Dumb idea.

Maybe the Play Pump people should have done the math like I did to know that it was an infeasible idea.

Well there is someone in the comments here arguing for free enegy devices so maybe thats a better option! Although everyone that makes them are ultimately killed off by the elites, so maybe not.
