My 30 Roberts helped me enjoy a hot shower, make a cup of coffee, turn on my lights, charge my mobile phone, tablet and laptop, before using the lift in my apartment.<\/p>\n<p>Many refugees struggle to access the most basic levels of energy for their everyday needs. Besides cooking, their most important energy needs are for light and charging mobile phones.<\/p>\n<p>In this video, the 700 Watts of power Robert produced led to 21 Watt hours of energy and a lot of lactic acid building up in an Olympic cyclist. This was barely enough energy to cook a single piece of white bread \u2013 and we all know we should be eating brown bread, which takes longer to cook.<\/p>\n<p>That same 21 Watt hours is enough energy to power a 2 Watt Led bulb for 5 hours and a smart phone on a daily basis \u2013 more than most refugees currently hope to receive.<\/p>\n<p>I need too many Roberts in my life.<\/p>\n<p><em>How many Roberts did you need today?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to repost this article on your website, please see our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unhcr.org\/innovation\/reposting-policy\/\" target=\"_blank\">reposting policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the video below, world famous track cyclist Robert F\u00f6rstemann battles a 700w toaster.
