   I didn't say it would heat the water very much, just that it would some.   
      
   I agree that it is kind of pointless, but it is less pointless than having   
   electric as an extra energy conversion. Kind of like using a gas powered   
   generator to run a hot plate VS just using a Coleman white gas stove.   
      
   I wonder if 100 watts would even cover the standby loss of a 40-50 gallon   
   electric water heater.   
      
   The part about my leg is true, but as I said that wasn't pedal power.
