Apparently, it’s more than just human energy that elliptical machines can generate. Thats Fit featured a post recently that says elliptical machines at Gainesville Health & Fitness Center are being used for more than health and fitness. They’re being used to convert the energy spent exercising into electrical power. When I saw this, I thought, “Wow, what a great idea! Why didn’t I think of this?”
According to That’s Fit, “Hudson Harr, the 22-year-old who came up with the ReCardio system—a patent-pending technology currently wired to 15 elliptical machines and working to convert the kinetic energy from pushing pedals into electricity. The power produced by the machines is plugged straight into the utility grid, which helps produce power for the gym and offsets utility costs.”
I can’t help but think that if they found a way to harness ALL of the energy created from elliptical machines everywhere, think of what a different that could make in terms of conservation.
