Human Power

Learn to build a bike generator

Organized together with Low-tech Magazine, this workshop was an opportunity to open conversations about how we use resources and the alternatives we can experiment with.

We started with a talk on energy self-production and continued with a practical session covering basic electricity concepts and the creation of a bike generator.

Working as a team, participants built control panels and hacked electrical devices to power them with the bike’s direct current.

Fira de Consum Responsable

We built a human-powered music station for the Espai Consum Responsable station at the Fira de Consum Responsable i d’Economia Social i Solidària.

Visitors were invited to pedal to simultaneously power the music system, the turntable, the lights, and a phone charging station.

Along with the installation, we also prepared a card game that helped people become aware of how much energy they consume by calculating how many hours they would need to pedal to power their everyday devices.
