Human Power - Energy from Exercise
The owner of a fitness center / gym in Hong Kong has figured out a novel way to cut his electricity bills.
Lucien Gambarota, owner of the Motorwave fitness centre has devised a method by which, connecting specially modified cross trainers at the fitness center to light fixtures and batteries, he powers overhead lighting from the energy generated by those using the cross trainers.
This concept is called Human Powered Energy in the alternative energy lingo, and you can find more interesting concepts and inventions in human powered energy at this page at Oilgae
