Eco Gadgets: Pedal power for a chilled can of beer

Eco Factor: Modified exercise bike can chill and heat stuff simultaneously.

Exercising on a bike can do more than just reducing your waist size. We don’t say this but some clever Australian engineers have brought about a design in which they use all those unwanted calories in you to chill down a can of beer to cherish after a hard workout session.

These engineers have integrated a pair of copper wires that are somehow connected to the whole pedal assembly of the exercise bike. The more you pedal on it the cooler will be the beer that is put inside the copper coil. On the other hand if you are teetotaler just like me then you can use the put in a cup of coffee into the other coil and drink make it as hot as you can with nothing other than muscle power.

The Dark Side:

The use of pedal power to heat and cool stuff seems awesome. We are just considerate about the space given in the bike for cans and bottles. If the technology is properly developed we could just get a wee bit more than a hot cup of coffee or a chilled can of beer.
