Summary: They
have installed a new type of gym in Hull, England. It is a public gym and it is
also free of charge…sort of. It is in a park and when people ride on the bikes
or exercise on the treadmills and the energy that the people are using to power
the machines are what is powering the lights in the gym. The energy is
harnessed and so they hope that soon they will be able to make more of them and
with the surplus energy they can lower the electric bills. It is an expensive
project but this is a great way to get people out of bed and exercising. This
is just one of the ways that different energy can be used to power other
things.
Analysis: This is
an amazing project and I wish that we had it in America. Obesity is a very
pressing issue and a great way to motivate people to exercise is by having it
possibly save them money. It is also very environmentally friendly which is
another big issue that we are having. I am very glad that there has been such
an amazing breakthrough and it is just one great way to not only save the
environment, but our economy, and people too.
