Propuesta de generación de energía eléctrica a partir de la actividad física en un gimnasio

Abstract

Abstract: This research presents a sustainable proposal to generate electricity in a gym taking advantage of physical activity. The objective is to design a system that transforms the kinetic energy of exercise into electricity to partially self-supply the gym. Initially, technical feasibility was evaluated through technology analysis and a field visit. determining high savings potential. Then the 3D design of a collection system was carried out. and kinetic energy transformation based on an inertial conical pulley and a dynamo, during The analysis of technologies was defined to implement an inverter and batteries in the system. Energy storage. In this system the pulley converts inertial physical movement into mechanical, a dynamo was implemented in this pulley that transforms the kinetic energy captured into direct current ready to be stored. Finally, through a survey applied to the gym users, it was possible to identify the good acceptance of the proposal and their participation to be part of this initiative. The use of equipment and physical activity through This sustainable system is technically viable and allows the gym to optimize resources at the same time that reinforces its environmental commitment.
