Produce clean energy while you are working out
Produce clean energy while you are working out
Idea Description
When I go to the gym to work out, I feel like a hamster running in a wheel. All the energy that is produced by the people in the cardio section just turns into heat and nothing else. I propose a work out equipment that can store the energy produced by the user and charge batteries or keep a light in the gym on! the user will be productive, thus he/she will feel good. the gym will benefit it and last but not least the energy produced will be clean.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
I will invest in making one for my self and we will go from there

Great idea! There are online instructions on many websites on how to do this, but strangely enough, most mass-produced workout equipment actually consumes energy.
Excellent idea! I've been thinking the same thing while on the Elliptical machines. It seems like such a waste of energy. I would think that the power put out in the gym could "run" the gym. It would be neat to have a counter of some sort telling you how much energy you are generating. I've been tempted to approach my gym and ask why they don't try to harness all this energy. It sure would help me to feel better about the time I devote to the gym. I could feel like I was helping with the energy crisis rather than burning off a hot fudge sundae!
great idea! how much energy could actually be produced? could there be an in-home version that people could use to cut their energy costs?
This is very intriguing. How do we get the energy from the gym to the distributor? Who covers the cost of harnessing this energy? You are definitely on to something!
