Re: [Electric Boats] Just a thought

 

I'm sorry but you are way off on this.  At nearly 69 I have no problem producing 100 - 150 watts over an hour on a stationary bike.  On the road, a top competitive cyclist  is probably producing a minimum 200 watts and he can do so for hour after hour.

No.

The max power a human can generate, over any time (1 hr or so) is about 100W.
Thats with olympic level athletes, trained for years, on bikes.

Normal humans can make about 20-30W, for short periods of time (0.5-2 hr).
Not practically useful for propulsion.

Could you get a setup to generate enough power to run a small electric drive ?

Was looking at a water bike and seemed missing the point
