I love the knee brace idea. Every time I’m at the gym I think about all the energy that we could harness if only our treadmills were connected to something. I wonder how long that will take to become a reality.

I really hope it becomes a reality soon. I would gladly use a spinning bike to power my TV (that would get me to keep going) or walk on a treadmill to power my laptop.
