This guy makes so much sense. When you have all the wealth in the world, what should you do? You might as well help everyone else.

[@insimplebeing]

Flint, Michigan needs to know about this.

[@frijou]

Brilliant, humble and generous ... how often can we use all three adjectives for one person? All my respect and admiration for your work!

[@zacharytaylor1223]

You are very honorable Mr. Manoj. Would love to meet you someday

This Man is a Hero Beyond All Hero’s ~%^) Any one that makes that much money has an obligation to give back to the less fortunate even if it is to donate time, money and both but there is an important part of us that must be part of that and in his case it is Beautiful and it is Both ~%^) That makes him very special and A Very Beautiful Soul, Great Interview 🙏🙏 Thank You 🙏

[@communityorganizer5645]

Slightly better than Bill Gates, eh? People say India will not allow Gates to set foot anywhere in the country I corr CT them. India won't let his people in, but they pray for the day he visits them again, because they will arrest him and put him on massive charge for crippling and paralyzing upwards of 400,000 previously healthy children with vaccines that he wasn't licensed by India to give. He lied, saying it's not Vaxes. It's health injections. He trained his staff to say that when in fact they were jabbing them with a vaccine .

When you come across someone like Manoj Bhargava and his endeavors to assist the displaced minorities with his hard earned wealth, it leaves a sense of helplessness with Governments with all the national resources cannot do any better for their people. Recent examples, we see China and Russia do for their country and citizens by uplifting their living standards in meaningful way. Syabas Manoj-Ji.

[@hotfightinghistory9224]

Oh yeah, China and Russia, real pillars of fighting for the living standards of the poor.......

[@Corteum]

Googled it --- According to the World Bank, more than 500 million people were lifted out of extreme poverty as China's poverty rate fell from 88 percent in 1981 to 6.5 percent in 2012, as measured by the percentage of people living on the equivalent of US$1.90 or less per day in 2011 purchasing price parity terms.

[@alterbart7916]

You are so much off about russia. The living standards went down. As for the manoj, he is one of those succeeding in self promoting and giving nothing in return.

[@bluesky9480]

This is Fantastic, where can a person buy this electricity making bike?? Sadly there's no info out there to do so-

[@janewargo3533]

It is refreshing to hear of someone who cares for the underprivileged. I always said if I was wealthy. I would live as a normal person mostly. Of course a maid, yard keeper, chauffeur, and a pool is something I want. Otherwise my goal will be to make it better.

[@andrewfrodo2086]

So in spring 2021 doing more research into the Hans Free Electric bike. I can't find much information on it. It was given out as a test to a group or village. This technology would be great for the world. Having young minds blown away on how this works would also be life changing. Is this available for purchasing by the public? My answer right now is no. As of Feb 2017 that is the last time the facebook has been updated. This video shows 1 year later. Is there any updates?

[@musicbycarleton4516]

if you watch his "billions in change 2" film, he says that the bike project had a lot of issues: not efficient, heavy, lots of maintenance issues, etc. so he turned his attention instead to the portable solar power pack with flashlight

[@newyork3020]

I love this guy but I tell you. Not once but twice I made the mistake on taking the full shot. When taking half of it was ok and felt fine , two other times in different time periods I got sick as a dog. The rush inside me feeling drugged out was unbearable and this lasted 5-6 hours. Unbelievable discomfort and I knew ER would not be able to do much either. So stating you could take some and get away with it, I promise I would be the first one to end up in hospital. This drink it is dangerous.

What has happened with all these inventions I don't see anything going on or any news about it or any information on the internet just old stuff from 2013-14.

[@alterbart7916]

I hope you were sarcastic. None of his inventions is worth anything. Like the stationary bicycle with a generator. Besides the terrible implementation, the whole idea of using human's energy to produce power where the power is not available is stupid. Give this to the starving poor in india and nigeria. So that would increase their starvation.

[@johnzen3176]

I am grateful i only f*** up in small things... Mr Manoj is blocking the holly grail of humans and life continuum, by a twist in his rigid and overly critical of the other persona! Very stricking because as much as i get soo exited by his products, he put me off by attacking vaguely other scientists, other inventers or at least been sarcastic about other people Andovers. Sad really sad his products should be the real superstars, he should be more popular than musk even i love musk! i hope he understand this blockage and move his ideas and products to the populous.

[@LVSinger]

Mr.Manoj Bhargava,: very nice, worthy projects. However, if you truly wish to make a real impact on human existence, turn your efforts/resources to reducing human numbers. Unless OVERPOPULATION is addressed in a serious fashion, your exertions are only temporary fixes against human misery, and doomed to fail. In fact, a strong argument could be made to show that your wonderful improvements will only lead the ignorant, impoverished beneficiaries to produce more offspring.

[@andyhuang750]

Malthus went out of date a few centuries ago lol

[@LVSinger]

That's absurd. Malthus' data is more relevant today than it was during his time. I can easily imagine you've never read his 'essay' , and haven't a clue as to what he wrote?

[@alterbart7916]

@@LVSinger Well if malthus is right, and i tend to agree with him, - the outcome is to implement the checks and be careful about not removing some of them unless others are in place. Look at what happened in nigeria - the international help reduced child birth rate hundred fold. The population growth rate reached max and now they have millions dying from starvation, wars and constant outflow of refugees. Has the initial humanistic endeavor reduced the suffering and reached its goal?
