Constructing A People-Powered PC

Harnessing rowing ergometer energy through micro wind turbines

The Same Crew Practice - Vastly Different Effects

0.6 KwH

Produced Per Erg Daily

2 Hours

The boathouse can be powered per day (practice length)

1.85 kwH

Per practice with 75% of the team erging

Fog and Nature

Crew practice at Pine Crest doesn't have to change. 

 

The boathouse's energy consumption does.

​

Ergergy is here to help.

How It works

Capture of Energy Produced by the PC Rower 

Simply by rowing as they normally would, the PC rowers' strokes spin the fan of the concept 2 ergometers, energy which is captured by the Ergergy System's microturbines. 

Route Captured Energy to The Grid

Connected to a central grid inverter, all ergs and microturbines in the boathouse send their energy for conversion from direct current to alternating current which is sent directly to the grid.

Powering the Boathouse

The grid energy flows directly back to the boathouse, powering it and removing the need for the cost and environmental damage of purchasing from outside energy companies.
