Great story, silly comment. Most folks who know enough to care about the planet, wouldn't buy Nike. Let alone any other known, overpriced, consumerist sucker brand of slave labour shoe. OK off my recycled soap box. To reiterate. Clever use of energy. Still driving to the gym to work-out, instead of walking to the shops, and leaving the car at home. Or ditch the car all together. Our house has. Even better. “All the treehuggers and Al Gore will be tripping over their Nike’s to sign up.”

What an excellent idea! I hope more work is done on this kind of local energy generation to make it more common. I suppose its similar in principal to those torches we had as kids that you had to keep squeezing the handle of to keep the light working. Wow! What an excellent idea!

I thought about such a thing last time I was at my local gym, the treadmill tells me how much electricity I would be producing, but I didn't know if it would work as simply as that! Nice one Such a good idea, but I cant think of any gym that has put this into operation in the UK.

Jeez - if we all joined the gym and trained like mad things we could just do away with Koeberg. Yip – and in Cape Town there could be added benefit to not being connected to the national power grid.
