Instead of generating electricity (like with pedal powered generators), devices can be powered directly through a mechanical connection.

Mechanical devices typically have to be modified, possibly to the point that it may be impossible to return it to its original condition. These devices include blenders, drills, washing machines, etc. All of the energy put into pedaling is translated directly into the action the device's motor would have performed.
