TEKNIK ELEKTRONIKA

writes that Joules came from a challenge to build an electric tandem bicycle powered by actually pushing the pedals like a person. Fun kinetic design was part of the intent, practicality was not. Riding with Joules is a reminder that engineering and craftsmanship can be joyful pursuits. Engineering and art need not be separate.

The designer hopes that  Joules can remind kids that creating real things is great way to spend time, and perhaps a career. Joules sits on the back of a tandem bicycle and does all of the pedaling.
A fun part of making Joules was creating a mechanism that mimics human pedaling. The kinetics of it turned out to be interesting to watch.
