Caught this in the Concept II newsletter: 23,000 Watts in 120 Seconds. Forty rowers had two minutes to generate enough electricity to move an electrical transporter bridge from one side of the Kiel Canal to the other. To succeed, each rower needed to average 575 watts (~1:23/500m). In other words, two minutes of hell. To give you an idea of what circle of hell we're talking about, you can search Concept II world records for 500m races here. This was for a German game show.
Hi
I'm Jim Biancolo, and this is stuff I found interesting that I thought you might like too. Here are some of my favorites if you want to start there. Mostly I link to other people, but some stuff is mine, like:
- My AutoHotkey scripts, including one for universal AutoCorrect.
- A list of my favorite action scenes.
- A bunch of movies I liked that are available to watch instantly on Netflix.
- Fun with Bic pens: the Earth Pen and the Fridge Pen.
- My very own oatmeal recipes that sound totally gross but are actually good.
Spillover
I am loving Instapaper, and use if to sock away stuff to read. Here are a bunch of articles I read recently and liked.
