		<description>Great Questions!

The Gyms are on a 15 min loop-- they cycle from locker to locker.

There is no energy needed to purify water.

The energy produced from work-out equipment is as follows:

As discussed in Pedal Power: “In work, leisure, and transportation by James McCullagh (1977), tests at Oxford by Stuart Wilson on a bicycle showed that 75 watts of power is possible to be generated by an average rider at road speed in a one hour time frame. Wilson also found that at 18 mph it is possible to achieve 200 watts for short periods, while 750 watts is possible only for a second or so, under extreme load. These calculations show that human/mechanical energy, if harnessed could add to existing battery banks, or could be set up alone to run appliances.”</description>
