While You're at It, Why Not Generate A Little Electricity
This article I am interested in is about making electricity by human body's energy. A gym in Hong Kong makes use of human's energy when they are working out to make electricity. This gym is just a experienment, and it becomes more and more common recently. In fact, to make electricity by human's energy has a long history and it can trace back to the beginning of the 20 century.
Since the resource is scarce now, more and more manufacturer come up with ideas that can save resource and make the most advantage by spending the same or less cost. These ideas can not only save resources, but they can also make benefits to the area that has scarce resouces. People are also eager to take part in the program because they always feel happy when they devote themselves to make society and economy more efficient.
It is a potential market because people are willing to see that resouces are making by their bodies. The gym in Hong Kong will have more and more customers and so do other markets. At the same time, it saves and produces resources with the same or less cost.

All manufacturer want to make the maximize profit. However, I wonder in which way they can get the maximize profit, and also What relation they have with resources?
This idea of using human energy to create electricity is a great use of resouces. As long as it doesn't cost the human's too much to work out, then the resources are pretty much endless. Using humans seems like it would be a lot more cost efficent as well.
As this article appears in foreign character, I do not understand the extent of the energy they wish to produce. Aside from that, if the persons working out can harbor the energy produced to power an Ipod or charge a cell phone while working out, I believe that it is something that manufacturers should look towards in the future. I do not think that this is something that manufacturers would currently produce, seeing the cost of electricity is relatively low and the amount used on a day-to-day basis, the amount of energy generated is only a very small percent of daily usage for the average human being.
This is a great concept, but not economically beneficial for consumers to purchase costly apparel to maybe charge their cell or run their Ipod.
I think that the idea to use electricity as body energy is very efficient. It saves resources. Also, if electricity was run off of body energy it would be an easily renewable resource. Also, it would be better for the environment and cost less for consumers and producers. Producers probably wouldn't have to pay as much for this form of electricity and also, consumers wouldn't have to pay as much money to supply goods that create electricity. Overall, i think that this is a situation where nobody loses.
To maximize the use of energy by the human body moves the economy more toward equilibrium. Currently the United States is looking for alternative energy resources. We are importing to a large extent more than we are producing domestically or exporting as far as oil resources are concerned. To find an alternative enery resource would create a greater sense of independence for the any country. The benefits of this action will far outweigh the costs of the action, if the price to work out remains relatively low. We can only hope this idea shifts the supply curve to the right. Common citizens now have the power in their hands to be the suppliers, and what better way to stay in shape and preserve the enviroment?
