Or you could rig up a paddle wheel, attach a generator head, mount it on a cliff and point millions of lemmings in its direction... Or you could just take note of what GfK said and save yourself a lot of bother.

I want one of these - www.treehugger.com/gadgets/pedal-power-your-laptop-cycling-generator.html

, but where I can still sit in my fave armchair, pedalling and being productive without using any electricity. I'll lose pounds while I save pounds.

Do you think 400W PSU (instead of 650w PSU)would reduce my eletric bills?

Also PSU power output deteriorates over the years, so you're best (normally) going big on psu.
