Abstract
Research at Delft University of Technology into the use of human-powered energy systems focusses on multiple aspects of this technology. The paper describes a case study into the volumetric features of human-powered energy systems in portable radios, compared to batteries. We found large differences in specific energy and energy density between human-powered systems and batteries.
