Gym Generated Energy
Hong Kong's California Fitness, a subsidiary of 24 Hour Fitness Worldwide, have modified the aerobic machines in their gym to produce energy. Inhabitat writes:
Just as the Sustainable Dance Club is turning dance steps into energy, French inventor Lucien Gambarota and Wharton grad and entrepreneur Doug Woodring are bringing clean, sustainable energy to the gym using good old-fashioned manpower.
