Charging Up the Stairs- a New Renewable Energy Source?
Charging Up the Stairs- a New Renewable Energy Source?
"Reading this, your body at rest is emitting about 100 watts into the environment. If you're sitting in an open plan office, count the number of surrounding colleagues and you don't need to be a maths genius to appreciate the possibilities of tapping into all that wasted energy.

Instead it could provide a renewable energy source to power office lighting or laptops - and it may be possible to recharge your mobile phone by walking to the photocopier."

I searched for "stairs" on the plime search engine, and it only seemed to catch around nineteen hits. So I guess this one's good. :) picked by Jetka 6 months ago
