Along with the popularity of workouts in more American fitness clubs is the rise of Green Revolution. The company has a pending application for a new invention that can convert people’s movement in aerobic activities into clean and renewable energy.
In its report, Green Revolution cited that one session of a cycling class with 20 bikes can generate 3 kilowatts of electricity. With four sessions each day, this class has the potential to produce about 300 kilowatts in one month.
The stationary bikes are ties to an inverter. The electricity produced is transferred to a storage cabinet. All the parts of the bike are protected with a non-conductive plastic to keep the bike and the user safe. Each stationary bike that uses this energy would cost $750.
In the near future, the Green Revolution website will track the energy produced during the exercise. Green Revolution is also innovating to provide an interactive carbon calculator to help the users in calculating their carbon footprint and determine the impact of their exercises to the environment.
