Steal These Ideas - Vol. 1

  • I don’t think I’m alone in saying I love breakfast. I also know I’m not alone in thinking that fact that the “last call” for breakfast at most fast food places is way too early. And I feel like it’s getting earlier all the time. Seriously, who is ready for a Whopper at 10:30am? In any event, why not make a fast food place that sells only breakfast all day?
  • If you’ve been to a gym lately, you’ve undoubtedly seen how much kinetic energy there is flying around the place. Tons of people pushing, pulling, running, moving, etc. Why isn’t there a way to harness that and turn it into electricity? They have a dance floor in The U.K. that powers the club when people dance on it. So why not have gym equipment that is self-sustaining? Whoever figures out how to use the all that wasted kinetic energy in gyms is going to be in good shape on a couple levels.
  • Sonic has breakfast all day. Its pretty good too, but I dont know if they have it in your neck of the woods. I also thought I remember seeing an article about a Gym that does exactly that about a year ago. I cant seem to find it now, but it is a great idea.
  • Yeah, how about for prisons too? Instead of watching cable TV or playing hoops how and an hour on the bike feeding the grid?
  • Jon
    I think servicing the machines and hooking them up to the grid might not be worth the amount of energy produced by the people. Perhaps if there were more efficient / less service needed generators I would say that would be a great idea.
