I wonder if you could design an MPPT system for a stationary bike, to adjust gearing based on the load with a CVT or something.

Great idea! We could also add some AI and then connect it to the power grid, and people could earn something while watching virtual worlds on their screens and providing baseload generation to power all the machines.

What could go wrong?
