In this video I will try out an idea I had in my head for quite a while. Why not simply use a treadmill to generate electricity? I mean we power treadmills to make us run, so why not "run" as well but push the treadmill to produce electricity. That is exactly what I will be finding out in this video. Is such a modification possible? How much power can we produce? Would I recommend it? Let's find out!
