From the manual, which I have received today…
———————-
The Pedal-A-Watt, creates 200 watts of power. If you pedal for 2 hours, then you have created 400 watt-hours ( 200 watts x 2 hours) of power.
This 400 watt-hours would power a 100 watt light bulb for 4 hours, a 200 watt
large screen TV for 2 hours and so on.
If I am pedaling and creating 200 watts of power and I keep pedaling for 2 hours, I create 200 Watt-Hours, or:
200 Watts x 2 Hours = 400 Watt-Hours
Now, with 400 Watt-Hours stored in the battery, I can power:
A 400 watt TV for 1 hour (400 Watts x 1 hour = 400 Watt-Hours)
A 200 Watt TV for 2 hours (200 Watts x 2 hours = 400 Watt-Hours)
A 20 Watt laptop PC for 20 hours (20 Watt x 20 hours = 400 Watt-Hours)
A 15 Watt fluorescent bulb for almost 27 hours (15 Watts x 26 hours = 400 Watt-Hours)
Power Consumption of Typical Appliances:
Small TV – 100 watts
Large TV – 200 watts
Laptop PC – 10 watts
Desktop PC – 75 watts
Stereo – 20 watts
Charging a cellphone – 5 watts
Hi Effic Desk lamp – 15 watts
Refrigerator – 700 watts
Dishwasher – 350 watts
Dryer – 400 watts

Projectors, I think, are in the region of 200-300 watts. So a projector, stereo and laptop might be too much for one person to generate, unless I can find a relatively low power projector.
