A young visitor to the SmartHome exhibit at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry uses the bicycle system on May 22, 2008, that needs to be pedaled for 30 minutes to power video games. Visitors receive a resource guide that tells about the function of each feature, how they're assembled and where they can be purchased. The bicycle system, for example, was homemade from parts bought on an electronics Web site.
