“The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.” - Albert Einstein 1921

Energy is the nucleus of modern society and has led to a rapid global expansion the world has never seen. Global economies have experienced unprecedented levels of growth and population graphs exhibit exponential trends. This same Energy which makes advanced economies possible also presents the greatest crises of our time. One is the secondary affect of atmospheric heat capacity and the other is the limited supply of hydrocarbons. We have advanced on a failed construct ignoring negative externalities and inherent limitations. These dangerous externalities have a lag and express themselves to slowly to be outright alarming but continue compounding all the while. Now we must continue to follow this improper course with ever escalating investment just to maintain current standards of living.
Just as we started to notice our engineered disaster the economics began to shift in favor of a better solution. In the next decade RE grid parity will take place and great opportunity will follow. Unlike the late 70s this move is sustained by systemic factors which will only become more profound.
We are retrofitting gym equipment to make carbon neutral energy in a safe, fun, and healthy manner. We efficiently and cost effectively capture the kinetic motion of aerobic exercise which is converted into clean energy that feeds back into the local utility’s power grid. This is just the beginning of the revolution...
We have developed a low cost method for rewiring every brand of cardio equipment. The Energy produced by these machines is currently being emitted as a heat byproduct, counteracting the HVAC system. We wire the machines to instead deliver this energy to a central collection unit which converts the DC power to 240/208 Volt 60 Hertz AC which can be sold back to the exiting network. One machine can produce 150 watts on a continual basis. If this current was instead being emitted to the ambient air as it is now these black 10 omh resistors above would stay at ~140 degrees F.
