Stationary Waffle Making Bike

This next idea is very intriguing, it came to me in my dream, I know, I was amazed myself. I must've been reading about renewable energy the night before ;)

So I woke up one morning clearly remembering the dream of a stationary bicycle which, when used, produces enough electricity to power a waffle maker. I envisioned this as one of those stands on the corner of the street. Why waffles you ask? Probably because I have the love for cooking and baking and my favorite food is home made crêpes :) But as you can see, the produced electricity could be used for other things too, like frying up pancakes. It has to be something that's quick to make, a sausage would require too much energy (and therefore too much pedaling).

I know that this could work because if I saw something like this on the street I would definitely be curious, and proud to have "fried" my own crêpe! With today's ecofriendly trends this could be quite an attraction.

But there is more. I was so excited about this "idea from a dream" that I really believed in it. I therefore started frantically searching the web to see if it has already been done. I haven't found a waffle bike but check this out. A bike to cool your beer (photo courtesy of pege.org):



Or, this is somewhat related, a video of a pedal powered bar:

What do you think? Would you stop and buy a product where you have to pedal to produce the power for heating it up? The owner of the stand would be laughing, there would be no need for any other power source like propane or an electrical outlet. That would be a good marketing/selling point "all you need is milk, eggs and flour to run your business" :)
