== Background == The Engineers: * [[User:Gotbisson|Joel Bisson]] * [[User:Aaron Gallo|Aaron Gallo]] Our goal is to harness human kinetic energy through common gym equipment and convert it into useful applications. Our human powered electric generator is used to charge a battery which can then be used to charge small electronic devices such as cell phones, iPods, cameras, or laptops. The project is an assignment for [[ENGR 305]] (Appropriate Technology) at [[Cal Poly Humboldt]], Arcata, CA. We will be in collaboration with our client, The [[Humboldt Bay Center for Sustainable Living]] who operates the new Humboldt Bay Eco-Hostel located in Manila, CA. The device will be operational by the end of the semester so that it can be a useful and educational part of the Eco-Hostel. We hope to emphasize that energy is not cheap and that it takes work to make electricity used to power even the smallest electronic devices in our lives.
