Green Microgym collects Energy from Workouts!
Here’s a cool new gym in Portland, Oregon that collects energy from the work generated by people working out. I think this is a great concept and should be applied to every gym. In fact, they should make every gym machine so it can re-charge itself and other gadgets such as your cellphone.
The Green Microgym recently opened in Portland, Oregon – in addition to using solar panels and green building materials, they’re working with several companies that harvest power from gym equipment, including ReRev and Human Dynamo.
