VERIFIED HUMAN VALUES · ALL OTHERS APPROXIMATE

Cost of transport measures metabolic energy per unit of body mass per unit of distance. It is distinct from electrical-generation efficiency. Independent visualization; approximate values read from Tucker (1970), Wilson (1973), and the 2025 Scientific American comparison.
The full history of this chart, from Tucker to the bicycle for the mind

Tucker measured the animals in 1970. Wilson added the bicycle in 1973: walking costs approximately 0.75 calories per gram per kilometer, cycling approximately 0.15. The biology remained the same. The infrastructure changed.

Radical Transparency

Compute should strengthen humanity, not replace it.

Biological power is renewable in the narrowest possible interpretation. Its complete thermodynamic and economic profile is more complicated.

  1. D-01

    Human muscle converts roughly 15 to 24% of metabolic energy into mechanical work.

  2. D-02

    An exercising rider can produce several hundred watts of metabolic waste heat.

  3. D-03

    Labor alone costs approximately $150 to $200 per kWh at the stated output and compensation assumptions.

  4. D-04

    This excludes food, rent, bicycles, storage, cooling, showers, insurance, and compute hardware.

Radically transparent.
Fundamentally unscalable.
