Pedal powered alternator
Something I have been thinking about, I know on a boat while dealing with the listing and the work of sailing, getting in good cardio is not easy.

I was thinking about building a setup with some planetary gears and an alternator that could be pedaled and hooked up to the battery bank, so one one hand you charge your batteries, on the other hand you get a good workout.

Has anyone done anything like this on their boat?
