What do Mark Scheel and Rube Goldberg have in common?
December 10, 2007This is really well done – and funny!
From Mark:
This Earth Day I made a presentation at a technical conference in Austin, TX that combined Programming, Real Estate and a Rube Goldberg device I called Mark’s Portable Pedal Power Generator. The device turned kinetic energy in the form of a spinning bicycle wheel into standard AC electricity. Google and Specialized Bikes announced a video contest for just such a device a few months later. The contest ends this week and is hosted by YouTube. I have created an 84 second Video that shows me lighting a Christmas Tree in the middle of a forest, using the device.

Looks like he’s got a lot of free time on his hands….
