How it Works:
Here in this application of human-powered energy, we use workout equipment, therapeutic exercises, to lift the payload. Once lifted the energy is stored and available for use by lowering the payload.
Lowering the payload spins a flywheel. Flywheel turns drive shaft which powers all mechanical devices.
Status:
Very simple, time-proven mechanics. Might even be be possible to build with existing purchasable parts.
Ecological Principles:
Areas of Need:
- Everything. Food. Clothing. Everything at all revolves around the turning of a drive axel.
