Yesterday, I gave a presentation at Udai study group on Pedal Power. I tried to find the various designs, their specs, economic opportunities they can create in rural / off grid areas. Though I barely touched the top of the iceberg, I was dazzled by the scope & diversity of Pedal power. People have been running wireless networks and VOIP telephony in Ugandan villages using pedal power! Here are notes I made for the same. After I posted this entry, I was contacted by Nick from off-grid net , a superb online magazine supporting alternative sustainable lifestyles. Read this story from Ladena, to see how wise economic & technological choices can lead to a 'thriving' life in the middle of nowhere, and can solve financial crisis.

I am SO proud of these guys ! They are Indian college students, and planning to build a racecar. The car they have built now, combine pulsar absorbers, toyota steering column, and Rickshaw engine. This is true learning and spirit of enterprise at its finest!
