Lifting a 22.7kg weight a couple meters cannot produce more energy than is sufficient to light one LED for 45 minutes. Here's the math:

Human powered energy might be worth considering.. e.g. hook up a bike machine to batteries that supplement mains power to your house. Keep fit and save energy!

The Gravia is an important reminder that energy production and consumption is as much a matter of maths as conceptual thinking – something which has been a stumbling block to biofuel initiatives.

Let's not buy any more bullshit.
