Hey Brian, you may have an idea. Want to collaborate on the combined
lab and gym?

The basic piece of equipment is a 7000 on pulleys or a barbell. You
add and subtract cards and power supplies for variable resistance.

If you hook a bicycle generator to the power supply, you could
perhaps come up with a measurement of calorie expenditures -- when
you pedal fast enough, there are no drops.

Now, we need dumbbell handles to attach to the rack mounting ears of
the smaller routers...
