By now, you are probably familiar with the massive untapped potential of renewable energy sources. Perhaps you’ve even thought about getting a few solar panels of your own. But, there’s another untapped energy source right beneath your nose… it’s YOU. That’s right. People power — more formally known as kinetic energy — is the energy associated with human movement. And it’s a promising outlet for energy.

Energized by Motion

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. Instead, it is transferred. Energy from the sun is transferred to the apple tree, which transfers that energy into sugars (apples). Our bodies process and transfer apples into a usable energy. The energy stored from the apples fuel our bodily functions and movements, which transfer the energy to carbon-dioxide and water for the apple tree to absorb again.

This fantastic cycle works seamlessly, but that doesn’t mean we can’t take advantage of it — specifically the energy exerted when we move could be collected.
