Ciclups harnesses human power to generate sustainable energy

By Naresh KumarChauhan /Feb 1 2010

The Ciclups from Rubcn is an innovative system that harnesses human physical power to produce green energy for day-to-day-use. The device concept comes integrated with a gyroscope that receives pedal rotation to generate sustainable power. Featuring a low voltage screen to display the function mode and the battery charge, the Ciclups apart from generating pedal-powered energy also connects to an average socket for charging. All the users need to do is pedal the device like a fitness bike and let the gyroscopic effect produce energy, which increases and decreases according to the paddling speed. The Ciclups not only produces green energy but keeps you fit as well.
