How much energy could a human produce through physical labor/activity? Seems like if an efficient way to do this was created, we could employ a bunch of homeless people to basically work out.

I think Lance Armstrong could only manage around 4-600 Watts of sustained output when we was in racing condition, so call it 3KW over the 4 or 5 hours of racing. At a cost of about 8-9000 calories.
It'd take a lot of homeless and lot of cheeseburgers.
