bike, you produce energy. You use your legs to push the pedals. Your energy is transferred(转移) to the
bike. That makes the bike move.

did just that! They jumped on bikes connected to generators(发电机) and pedaled in place. Soon they
were producing electricity. This energy is needed to run their computers.
Here is how bicycle-powered energy works. When a student pedals the bike, the back wheel spins.
The wheel spins the generator. The generator produces electricity. As long as a student pedals the bicy-
cle, electricity moves through the generator. The electricity can be used right away. This energy can also

They often use less than 100 watts per hour. However, it would be a mistake to use pedal power to run a
fridge. This large machine often uses more than 700 watts per hour. The electricity for these machines
comes from power lines overhead or underground.
