Amsterdam's Clean Energy Challenge inspired Guillaume Roukhomovsky and Blaž Verhnjak to design S-Park. It's a system that consists of a front bicycle wheel, and bike rack. As a rider bikes around, the spinning wheel stores kinetic energy in batteries. When the bike is parked at the S-Park rack, that energy flows out to the area's electric grid. There isn't a prototype, but the duo is getting a lot of attention, and we might see the idea come to life in the near future.
