Power to the Pedal

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Turn your workout into a rock out with a pedal power concert! The “Yokohama Human Powered Concert: Power Saving Saves the Earth," was put on NPO “ARCHSHIP” which focuses on bringing together music, people and community.

All electric power for the concert sound system was generated by pedaling  refurbished bicycles, which were attached to specially designed and engineered generators. Instead of charging concertgoers money for a ticket, they had them pay with pedal power! 

The concert also featured a cooking demonstration using only solar power, and a hands on demonstration comparing the relative energy consumption of Japan, the US and China using weighted handbags, entitled “can you lift the energy bag?” Now, that's a concert with a conscious!
