Charging Up the Stairs- a New Renewable Energy Source? Posted: 6 months ago by Jetka
"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. :)

The British Electrical Socket Posted: 10 months ago by pitim
Meet the standard British electrical socket; actually designed with an on/off switch. Many electrical appliances draw electricity even when they’re turned off. Here’s the euro solution: Every electrical socket in my flat here in the UK has an on/off switch. Imagine how much energy we could save if we cut off the electricity to every socket not in use. This is cutting down on wasted energy, energy from cell phone chargers left surging power to a fully charged cell phone- or equally as bad- a cell phone charger left charging after the phone has been removed from the charger. I took a look online- hoping to find some of these eco-friendly euro devices that could be used in the construction of new American homes. I came up with nada. How do we build eco-friendly homes without economical resources?
