365 DAYS OF ENERGY<br />
FOR CANCER SUFFERERS<br />
SEW-EURODRIVE Netherlands is supporting<br />
the Wheel of Energy, a striking<br />
treadmill that has been erected in front<br />
of the main entrance to Amsterdam Airport<br />
on Schiphol Plaza. In this location,<br />
it captures the attention of hundreds of<br />
thousands of travelers. Using the wheel,<br />
which has a diameter of 7 m and a width<br />
of 3 m, Foundation Marathon365 hopes<br />
to contribute to making this world one<br />
in which cancer is no longer a life-threatening<br />
illness. The initiative strives to<br />
increase public awareness and sensitivity<br />
towards people suffering from cancer<br />
and to give hope to them and their<br />
families.<br />
The wheel converts muscle power into<br />
electrical energy via a dynamo installed<br />
on the axle. This is the fi rst dynamo in<br />
the world to be driven continuously by<br />
man power alone over 365 days. SEW-<br />
EURODRIVE Netherlands supported the<br />
client’s engineering project and supplied<br />
a number of drive components.<br />
