Lesson 25
City-dwellers are encouraged to take the time-saving and energy-efficient public transit, such as buses and subways. Cooperating with the Department of Energy, industrial manufacturers have begun to phase out some of their facilities of high energy consumption. American gym rats can now not only build muscle power, but electric power as they pedal on fitness bikes designed to light up their own health clubs. The Green Revolution
Environment Protection and Energy Conservation
The United States is the largest consumer of energy on a per capita basis. Over the past ten years, the American government has increasingly realized the importance of energy conservation and issued a series of energy-saving initiatives and incentives.

Lesson 25
The mechanism is simple, using dynamos on the bicycles to transfer 12 volts of electricity produced by the cyclists’ pedaling to a generator which creates alternating current of 110 volts. From there, the current helps power tLeabharlann Baidue gym building and reduces its bills, creating a win-win situation. In a world where energy is getting more precious, energy-saving systems like the one produced by the Green Revolution will eventually become popular around the world.
company launched their power-generating gym system in 2009 in California.

Lesson 25
This system takes 20 people to create about three kilowatts in a one-hour session. In other words, with four sessions a day, the gym creates 300 kilowatts a month, which is the same as the power needed to light a typical home for half a year. Over a year, the gymnasts can power the equivalent of 72 homes for one month, according to the company. A small gym might even be able to run its lights entirely on human power.
