(2016-10-B)The Crowned?Plaza Hotel in Copenhagen is offering a free meal to any guest who is able to?produce electricityfor the hotel on an exercise bike linked to a generator (發(fā)電機(jī)),The idea is to get people fit and reduce their carbon footprint. Guests will have to produce at least 10 watt hours of electricity - roughly 15 minutes of cycling for someone of average fitness.?Guests staying at Plaza Hotel will be given meat tickets worth $36 once they have produced 10 watt hours of electricity. The bicycles will have smart phones attached to the handlebars measuring how much power is being generated for the hotel.
任何客人能夠在與發(fā)電機(jī)相連的健身腳踏車上為酒店發(fā)電,那么哥本哈根皇冠假日酒店會給他們提供免費(fèi)餐。這個理念既能讓人保持身材又能減少碳排放量??腿藗儽仨毶a(chǎn)至少10瓦時的電------對于一個普通的健康的人來說,大約需要15分鐘的騎行時間?;使诩偃站频甑牡目腿艘坏┥a(chǎn)了10瓦時的電,就能領(lǐng)到36美元的餐券。自行車的車把上可以安裝智能手機(jī),用來測量為酒店生產(chǎn)的電量。
The plan, a world-first, will?start on 19 April and run for a year. Only guests staying at the hotel will be able to take part. Frederikke Toemmergaard, hotel spokeswoman, said, “Many of our visitors are business people who enjoy going to the gym. There might be people who will cycle just to get a free meal, but generally I don’t think people will take advantage of our programme,”
