A sports gym that will supply power with an aero bike that can generate electric power

I wish I should be able to generate electricity by kinetic energy generated by sprinkling that aero bicycle which is often placed in the sports gym, but somehow it seems to be inefficient, so does not anybody make it? If I thought that, already there is already a power generation aero bike, and in fact it turned out that there is an amazing gym that is trying to supply electricity throughout the sports gym by arranging the power generation aero bike as much as possible.

Its name is "Green Gym", a sports gym in Portland, Oregon, USA.

Details are as below.

The latest model is scheduled to be released from September 1, 2008, and the price is about 1,450 dollars (about 158,000 yen) per unit. With the power generation capacity of about 75 watts per unit, this gym has 2,800 units. This will initially supply 20% of the entire gym, and ultimately plans to generate the full power of Jim.

Actual use



Adam Boesel who is the owner of Jim this person. It is actually testing to generate electricity.


In addition, already in Hong Kong in March 2007 "California Fitness"It seems that 13 power generation aero bikes are in operation at the gym, but how effective is it actually?
