Olympic Cyclist Vs. Toaster: Can He Power It?

World famous track cyclist Robert Förstemann battles a 700w toaster. Can he, with his 74cm legs, generate enough energy to create a golden-brown toast? Please like, share and comment!
The challenge was set up to show how much energy we humans consume compared to what we can generate. This is a graduation project from the Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts filmed in Stockholm, Sweden.
The finishing examples estimate how many Roberts that would be needed to power either a petrol car consuming 6,5l/100km for one hour, or a one-hour Boeing 737-800 flight.

1 kcal is roughly 1wh. As he produced 21wh, that is about the amount of calories he burnt. But humans are not 100% efficient in converting food into energy. Actually only about 25% make it into our bloodstream. It just so happens that a slice of toast is abot 70-80kcal. Ergo he burnt of the equivalent of that toast while burning that toast.

Aside from showing how much energy average menial tasks take to accomplish, I think this also demonstrates quite nicely how efficient bicycles are.

[@xiniks]

And the human body is!

[@Kiboxxx]

If we ASSUME, the only energy loss of the bike is friction in the gears, we could assume that it´s efficiency is like 99 % (because modern gears are quite efficient). However, in order to convert the mechanical energy into an electrical one, you need a generator. So this experiment would just prove how efficient the used generator is. Also, if you are using a bike to move from point a to point b, there is also rolling resistance, wind resistance and all that stuff. Which part in the video got you the conclusion that bicycles are efficient? As for the human body: 0,021 kWh are equivalent to 18 kcal of food. Is that now efficient that the body burnt 1/4 slice of bread in 2 minutes? I really don´t see on what criteria you base your assumptions.

[@The007dinosaur]

yup, assuming that this was actually rigged up properly, which I doubt, to an AC generator then the less resistance there was (i.e. the higher the wattage at a given voltage), the higher the resistance to his cycling. u can see this if u get a motor, if u spin it then there is no resistance but if you connect the two ires to each other and then spin it, u get more resistance as you speed up the rate of rotation

if you think about the meaning of the units this is actually very impressive. 1 W is 1 Joule per second. 10 Joule is the energy needed to lift 1 kg up 1 m against gravity. So he was lifting the equivalent of 70 kg up 1 meter every second

I can't even imagine what it must feel like to output 700 watts for a minute. It would probably be easier to hook up a super capacitor to the bike and let him output 300-400 watts where he could do it for half an hour or more.

Lighting the LEDs was really easy, however the halogens were another story.

What a really cool demonstration.❤ There are so many different perspectives to take from this video. Something I've been noticing lately is an underemphasis on all of us using less energy in ways large and small. I was born in 1963 and I remember during the " energy crisis of the 70's there was an emphasis on using less energy. Turning lights out, lowering furnace thermostat, 55 mph national speed limit etc., Today there isn't an emphasis on us using less energy like back then. The emphasis seems to be how can we create more energy ie.. wind,waves,solar, geothermal,nuclear, petroleum etc. We of course should continue with exploring, experimenting ,playing with all these methods of extracting energy because our lives seem to depend on it. This video, from just one of many perspectives, demonstrates how much energy is required for the many ways we consume it. This video, for me , emphasizes my need to drive slower, put a sweater on, turn out the lights when I leave the room, put my device on battery saver mode and any other thing I can think of to use less energy. Ironically I discovered this video, because when I was at the Y sweating my ass off trying to stay strong and healthy, I looked around at all my fellow exercises and thought, why don't we generate a little electricity while we're doing this? Even if it's just enough to power the screens every machine has. I guess it's not feasible.

[@periodictable118]

yeah the electricity that even a gym full of elite athletes would generate long-term would pale in comparison with the even just the energy needed to keep the lights running. But fun fact: If you live in a area where the temperature outside is cold, the heat generated from exercise will offset some of the heating requirements for the building (even if only very, very slightly).

Start doing weight exercises. 100miles will not give you power, but endurance. His power is faked. 700W per 108s very good. But I think he as track olympic cyclist with these gigant legs he should do more than 108 sec of 700 watts. He is biggg, 95kg as a cyclist is monster.

@@al2577891 these drug tests are super easy to beat. All drugs and their metabolites have a limited detection time. And you cannot even detect metabolites of bioidentical hormones. The basic process is always the same in muslce based sports. Use high dosages of anabolic steroids and build unnatural amount of muscle mass. Come off the steroids and let natural hormone production recover. Then sign up for competitions and beat the drug test. Even without having any illegal substances in your body you gained a huge advantage. He obviously did this. And then there is also undetectable substances you can take during the competition time like testosterone suspension. Do you also believe that the earth is flat?

What people don't realize is that, due to the toaster absorbing current, it increases resistance in the pedal. So its not like turning the pedal, it becomes harder everytime the toaster takes current

Most metal/alloy resistance has positive temperature coefficient, including the heating element of the toaster. That means cold start resistance of the heating coil is lower than operating resistance so the cold start current/power is higher than operating current/power.

@@seshpenguin the heat going into the toast would mean the elements would be a slightly lower temperature, which would lower their resistance, which would draw more current.
