Human Dynamos Fashioning Green Power Gyms
Posted in Electricity, Energy, Products, Renewable on 28 August 2008

As nowadays a grave alarm is buzzing against dousing energy resources, we are in a continuous course of carving novel green paths in order to preserve prevailing nonrenewable sources. It is worth here to mention that our human intellect is so spiky and witty that we curtly get a way out of every hitch. Corroborating this is the most recent transformation which we are commencing in our fitness centers on an outsized scale. This modernization is particularly brought in to offset the mounting energy crisis, as in these gyms the human calories scalded per hour by working out would actually engender equivalent watts of electrical energy for powering up the rooms.

Accordingly “The Green Micro gym” in Portland has thought-out adopting this green concept in their gymnasium as well. Basically the mechanism generating energy via exercising is quoted as ‘Human Dynamo’ and it is clasping exactly four spine bikes enclosing weed whacker motors which in turn are coupled to a mini generator.

So to power up surroundings that generator would produce around 75 watts of energy on hourly basis which would unravel our gym’s electricity fix to a large extent. Undoubtedly, this project of conserving electricity by exploiting human power seems to be an inevitable accomplishment in futuristic world.

Concrete Roadways Amassing Solar Power, Worcester Polytechnic, Roadways, Concrete, Renewable, Green, Environment, Pavements, Solar cells, Solar farms, Electrical energy, Sunlight, Heat exchanger, Parking lots, Rajib Mallick, Asphalt, Airport tarmacs  asphalt-roads-as-solar-collectorsAt the Worcester Polytechnic Institute an ingenious pollster’s team under the headship of Rajib Mallick, an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering has figured out an eccentric source of energy. The researcher’s team has successfully designed a solar collector which would effectively draw out heat captivated by roads and pavements.

This hottest renewable energy substitute would radically recover solar energy contrasting conventional solar cells via a distinctively built up heat exchanger unit. This piece would effectually extract heat engrossed by asphalt roads, parking lots, airport tarmacs, market pavements, etc. not only during sunlight hours but also in dark as the asphalt based heat collectors remain hot even after the sun sets down to produce contemptible springs of electrical energy and hot water.

By now a substantial land is available in the form of set up roads and parking lots which would be easily retrofitted for power production so this innovatively green concept would prove to be economical in addition as no extra territory would be required for setting up solar farms.

Energy the most important thing for our lives this energy is present in many forms like electrical energy etc.Electrical energy is much important among all. In India everywhere people are worried about electricity problem and electricity bill etc so here comes the very interesting and unique technique to save your money and emission that is The Energy Detective in short we call it TED technique.

eco frendly TED technique tell us what amount of electricity is used by us this technique sends wireless electrical signal from our electrical metering unit to TEDmoniter unit and gives us information about the amount of electricity used by us they can also inform us about Real Time Electricity used today and amount of energy used so far. Presents voltage low voltage and high voltage. You can test this by yourself by looking at the spinning wheel and you can find out how much energy is used when you run computer and fan at various low, high or middle range. The ultimate facility of  eco friendly TED technique is that it has an alarm that activates on low or high voltage when electricity consumption increases from normal limit it sounds an alarm.
