The idea is that this is exportable to other spheres... like capturing the vibrations from walkers in the city, or from fitness centers... where a lot of energy is spent by humans.
[COLOR="Purple"]hmmmmm, now shouldnt this have been put into the YT thread???
When you read of all this technology and many have been around for decades.... makes ya wonder who is getting paid off to use the old crap.
Was just reading about city lights and how star gazers are finding less and less areas to do their thing. The article went on to describe how much energy is wasted just by having lighting cast in all directions instead of where it is suppose to be used for...
I am pretty sure I read about a gym in San Francisco that does have the treadmills and stationary bicycles connected to the grid... hope those users get a discount [/COLOR]
