A revolving door that generates electricity

Now, how cool is that?  Imagine every time you go through a door you are actually contributing to powering the building where it is installed.  Well this is exactly what happens at La Porte cafe in Zeist, Netherlands.  Though it’s not enough to power an entire building, there have been claims that enough electricity is actually generated to produce a single cup of coffee.

Well, what a way to maximize profit!  Your consumers bring the electricity needed to brew their cup of coffee and pay you for it.

We can expect more of these revolving doors to be in use as fluxlabb,  a company specializing in harvesting small amount of energy from humans has garnered lots of backing for pushing their alternative ideas into mainstream.

Soon enough, we can all claim we are doing our small part to help the environment by going through one of these doors.
