Green Gym Uses Human-Powered Energy
The opening of Portland’s The Green Microgym this week seems like a perfect complement to the announcement of M2E’s kinetic charger. Adam Boesel, the gym’s owner, doctored up spin bikes with weed whacker motors and truck alternators so that patrons can create energy to help power the 2,800 foot space.
According to DailyTech, the Team Dynamo and Spin Bikes at the gym can each generate up to 75 watts per hour. Next on Boesel’s list is generating power from elliptical trainers.
