Collecting Power Produced by Students and Feeding It Back into the Power Grid
The ReRev technology features a patent-pending system called ReCardio that captures and converts the otherwise counter-productive heat energy from exercise machines. A real-time display screen on each elliptical shows the students’ momentary power production, production peaks and production to date.
The center’s workout volume "could eventually produce the same amount of electricity as a small solar photovoltaic system," says Matthew Pennington, chief of staff for the Associated Students of Oregon State University, "placing students directly in the renewable energy production chain."
