Great stuff, unlike the revolving door, this device actually works. Keep on the good stuff! I bet there are more of those inefficient movements inside us.
resistance is futile…
I am a PG (Industrial/Production) Engineer from Delhi University having over 20 years of experience in various capacities from industry to academics.
Till the time I came across this article, I had been wondering as to why it is not possible to generate energy out of futile/otherwise essential movements viz. jogging, breaking, body building (wrist exeriser) devices etc. as byproduct.
Once the above device comes into commercial production, & of course economical(essentially), life would not be the same.
My best wishes
A new start for eco-gymnastics! Great consept.
