Revolution Door

In collaboration with fluxxlab

The Revolution Door is a modified revolving door comprised of 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. By mechanically harvesting a negligible amount of human energy and converting it to a tangible display through the use of a generator, the Revolution Door will directly communicate a single person’s contribution to an energy cycle possible through the metabolic relationship between people, technology, and architecture.

The project has garnered widespread public and media attention – in exhibition, publication, and TV segments; through such varied venues as Eyebeam Atelier in New York City, to Metropolis Magazine and the Discovery Science Channel. The project is in the prototyping stage.
