1. The Invention |
|
|
|
Title HUMAN POWER PLANT The problem the
inventor(s) wanted to solve For production of energy we are using
many natural sources (water, wind, coal, sun …) but nobody didn’t get an idea
yet of using human power as a source for producing energy. Description. Many people in developed world are taking care for their health with
sport activities. When practicing sport people are loosing energy. The
question is, could this energy be captured and used? Mostly this is not
possible because human energy is too week. But for instance in fitness
centers, where are a lot of sport devices and a lot of people who are using
them at the same time, it would be possible, for example, to heat water with
human energy. Presentation. Elementary model is stationary bicycle with small generator, which
transforms mechanical energy (from our leg or hand muscles) into electric. This
energy could be used either for warming water or for lighting.
Fields of
application Ecology. Potential users are first
of all schools (as an educational expedient), but could be developed for application
in fitness centres too. Advantages Educational
meaning: Basic models could serve as an expedient for demonstrating to
scholars how hard is (for human) to produce energy. For instance, children
could learn how much energy is needed for heating small boiler for 100C,
but first of all they could become more aware of the importance of responsible
consumption and environmental protection.
