It may sound like I am a dreamer without a sense of reality. Because what I am going to propose now may blow your mind away. Your response would be “are you nuts?”
We have limited energy in USA. Think about the basic principle of energy. It changes forms and produce something that we want.
We are a fat nation and see how much energy we are burning to burn calories from our body? Now if you can develop a device to conserve that energy and store it, this little accumulation may become a supplementary source of energy. Just bare with me for few more sentences.
We plug in treadmill, elliptical or bicycle with the power outlet to have them function properly. Why can’t we design the same functional machines without the electricity? Moreover the machine we will design will produce energy and store it while we exercise to burn calories.
For example, in one household, let’s say there are two adults that are over weight and would like to do exercise regularly for 30 minutes each totaling one hour of physical activity in that household. Let us assume for simplicity we install a simple miniature windmill like power generator in his backyard. We need to setup the equipment such a way that the person at home can use it as a bicycle riding or rowing or elliptical machine. Thereby it is a win-win situation; we store some energy and burn some calories to stay fit.
Millions of people jogging everyday and now they would have another option to loose weight and store energy to use. This scheme along with the solar paneling, energy efficient appliances, little bit of every possible way of going green may reverse the process of global warming.
