Bicycle Seat Generator Harnesses the Power of Your Butt

By Sean Fallon on November 5, 2008 at 9:20 AM

You may not like it now, but you would be thankful for that big butt of yours if you ever got a chance to ride a bike fitted with designer Deco Goodman’s “Commuter Cyclist’s Sustainable Energy Source.” The device attaches underneath the seat and collects power generated by the compression of the seat springs, braking, pedaling etc. As a result, the electricity could be used to power headlights/taillights and any portable gadgets you bring with you on the road. As you might have guessed, it is only a concept at the moment, but at least it doesn’t sound completely far-fetched.
