You're absolutely right!
In fact, I did some research on how to maintain those, and it turns out we could produce most of their fuel requirements locally, with relatively little effort!
Why hasn't anybody tried this before?
:horse: ← He's just resting.

The Gossamer Albatross was the first human powered airplane to cross the channel. The National Geographic article published at the time reported in tests the "human machine" could maintain 220 W pedaling for two hours which was the expected duration of the flight. It ended up taking almost three hours.

It is also interesting to note that even at rest, an adult human produces 50 - 100 W of heat.
We aren't really that efficient as engines.. but nevertheless, given enough distance, a fit human can outrun every other land animal on Earth.
Looking at pedaling instead of hand cranking makes a lot of sense to me.
If only there was some kind of vehicle, that us humans could propel ourselves forwards using pedaling as a way to generate the propulsive energy!

it seems that the best free energy is solar panel :popcorn:

I believe the brain accounts for about 25W. Ymmv of course. :D
Intel have a looong was to go!
