Origins[]
A daring entrepreneur looked at exercise bikes and thought to himself (as discovered by his notes later), why couldn't he capture the energy generated by the revolving motion of the exercise bike and put it to use? An ingenious plan, but highly impractical in terms of energy output. Nonetheless, he quite determinedly toyed with the mechanics of the machine until the output was far greater than the input - too far greater, in fact. His neighbors found him still steaming hours after a large electrical pulse fried the circuit breaker in the neighborhood.
Effects[]
This bike generates large amounts of kinetic energy and releases it as electricity and heat. While very useful in the Warehouse when that energy is required, agents are reminded that only one revolution of the pedals is ample energy to power a good sized house.
