A typical treadmill consumes rather than generates power. More importantly, a watt is a measure of power rather than work (P=W/t)

You are right Scott. Ideally I would love to have used a stationary bicycle or a ergometer (rowing machine) which are the only true generators of power. I am hoping that viewers get the fact that while energy is relatively cheap (in New York City about 15 cents a kwH) it requires a lot of work. For me the equivalent kilocalorie output of a 100 watt lightbulb would be to run at 9mph.

Dear oh dear--I thought it was great, never mind the details about watts! Entertaining and a good message. Nice one.

Clever!! Great analogy of power usage, gets the point across!

wow, really naff music and a painfully cheesey video indeed. Yeh the message was there but most people would of 'switched off' a third of the way through the film. Sorry.
