Here’s a brilliant idea! Not really sure why for the past decade NO ONE has spotted this, really! Kudos to the Netherlands based company, Royal Boon Edam Group Holding, for creating the world’s first energy generating revolving door.
One of its first units are installed at the Driebergen-Zeist railway station in Holland. You know when you put something in the railway stations… it gets used a gazillion times. The door stores power generated in a capicitor bank and illuminates LED lights in its ceiling, while a large scale display outside the building shows pedestrians how much overall power has been generated by the door. I just wonder though what that door powers… maybe the station’s lights? or the heating system?
Developed by Boon Edam… I wonder what’s next. Oh, how about harnessing the energy off from every toilet flush? Hmmmm… maybe a crazy one now… but who knows???

this is a wonderful idea! Id be suprised if it didnt catch on. hey mabye somone could make a motion=power mousemat, or shoes, if they did it with the bra why not shoes? or bikes? have they done it with bikes yet, I cant remember.
What a great Idea. could we not use the same for exersize equipment . Stay fit and generate energy too. I hear that the Dutch have a solar collector that is imbeaded in the roads that generates free power . can you say rebuild our roads and install solar in them to generate unllimited amounts of FREE SUN POWER @ Low cost And when it comes to Ideas the Dutch are powerful thinkers God loves the Dutch. We in the United States( verenigade Staten) should look in to the Smart Dutch for Ideas. Tot Staks (see you latter)
