    It’s a great idea, it is the best way to work out, because the energy is not wasted as heat and friction but put back into the grid.

    I was thinking about this 2 days ago, that maybe while people are watching TV they can do an excersize that hooks up to a car battery, then they can stick that charged battery in their car to save money on electricity.

    I’ve been thinking about human powered electricity a lot lately. Not only is it a great idea, there will be money in it for sure. I’d certainly buy stock in a company who can make this idea a feasible reality.

    the idea is not new but appreciated being working out. it should even be pushed forward to a mini stepper attached to and providing electricity for every personal computer while most of us are working hard in front of the computers everyday.

    I’m an Aussie but I used to work in Hong Kong, and that California Fitness gym in Central near Lan Kwai Fong was my gym. There were many times I used to sweat it out on a crosstrainer and think to myself that the machines should be hooked up to generators and feed back into the gym’s power supply. It’s like someone was tapping into my thought processes!
