We live in a world marred by pollution. Every day, the hazardous effects of fossil fuels and other bio-hazardous energy sources continue to upset our ecosystems and harm the biosphere. We must find cleaner, more sustainable sources of power. As such, we have tapped into other sources of renewable energy through the use of solar panels, hydroelectric dams and wind turbines, to name a few. However, there is one potential provider of energy that we have yet to fully explore: the human body. The unused kinetic force generated by a human being can be converted into storable electricity. Individually, this may be but a drop in the ocean compared to the vast amount of electricity generated from other devices. But, with enough participants, it can become significant enough to displace the use of harmful fuels in many public locations. This goal forms the basis of the project.
