Fitness Clubs In Hong Kong Produce Energy
Fitness August 2nd, 2010
now more and more people are overweight. Not because the food is fast food but also because we are lazy to the street except at the mall. Therefore we are increasingly concerned with youth health and fitness clubs participate in the membership. I once wrote that the treadmill spend a lot of energy and we had better sport at home.
In Hong Kong, where people are also getting attention on the appearance but not the electricity supply shortages, there is a Fitness Club there that provide sophisticated solutions. They wear sports equipment that has been paired with an electric generator which is connected to the electricity supply to the Fitness Club itself.
Generator is expected to generate 50 watts for each use of each person.
Imagine if in Indonesia there are a million members from all the existing fitness club, then the calculation is:
50 Watt x 1 Million member x 1 hour exercise per day x 365 days = 18.25 Billion Watt = 18.250 Mega Watt = 18.25 Giga Watts!
Figures are fantastic when seen from the potential. If we can apply these machines in all the fitness clubs, probably from all the energy needed there are still remaining to be given to the electricity distribution lines and could be one answer to our power crisis.
However, perhaps this is still far in the future, and fitness clubs that exist in Indonesia also will not easily buy new tools. Therefore, I still recommend to go jogging in the air, in a city park, as well as sports equipment at home. Do not have to think much to produce energy, we first try to save it.
