Why hasn't anyone bothered to use the same concept used in ox-driven wells to provide exercise for hyperactive children and provide a valuable source of renewable energy?

     Well, you saw what happened in the movie; 'Conan the Barbarian'.

    Hyperactive, or ADD children, rarely if ever will concentrate on a useful task for any amount of time before they kick, scream, and have a temper tantrum.

    Ever hear of merry-go-rounds or seesaws? :-)

    The easiest way to fix that is to connect a game console to a pedal powered generator. :-)

    I think that would violate child labor laws or some such thing. It's too bad, really. u_u

    Yes, but when my youngest daughter who was hyper got on the merry-go-round she got bored easily. Seriously. she had a short attentin span for most things.  We had her in the neighborhood theater, the neighborhood art gallery and the recreation center.  She also volunteered. She still had energy. lol
