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.

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.
Yeah, how about for prisons too? Instead of watching cable TV or playing hoops how and an hour on the bike feeding the grid?
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.
