Millions of people are exercising at any given moment, exerting extreme levels of energy which then disperses into the air around them in various forms. However, what if this energy was able to be channeled into usable electricity? In open innovation, that is exactly what I sought to do. I made a generator that is powered by the moving wheel of a stationary bike. Pedaling this bike at a medium speed creates enough energy to charge 6 phones at a time, giving users concrete goals and motivation within their training because of additional benefits of exercising for longer. Of course, this electricity all comes from a clean source, and can potentially help reduce users' carbon footprint.
