 Revolution Revolving Door What a smart eco-friendly idea. The Revolution Door’s concept is similar to a turbine spinning somewhere deep inside a hydroelectric dam or within wind turbine to generate renewable electricity. New York designers Fluxxlab’s Revolution puts otherwise-wasted kinetic energy from a revolving office door to good use—generating power. People exert a chunk of their own energy when pushing a revolving door around anyway, so it may as well be captured via gears and an electricity generator. Think about the thousands of revolving doors across the world spinning around all the time.  The Revolution Door technology can be used with any new or existing revolving doors. At its core, it contains three parts – a redesigned central core replacing that of any existing or new revolving door, a mechanical/electrical system that harnesses human energy and redistributes electricity to an output, and an output device that maps the harnessed energy. The revolving doors in large office buildings are always in use at any given moment during the day and by capturing that kinetic energy this project can provide free electricity to the installation site.
