Abstract

The urgent need to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and the resulting global sedentary lifestyles of mankind makes this innovation a win-win solution to reduce our carbon footprint in a fun, safe and novel way. The energy output of the rotating wall or ladder is estimated to be ten times more efficient than the output of existing cycling, elliptical or stepping stations because the total weight of the climber is used instead of pedal (leg) power that can only tolerate an average of 2 kg of resistance. Climbing stations will be used to feed batteries, to convert power for internal use or feed electricity back to the grid. These power stations will soon become standard electric car charging stations and school, military, home or fitness center apparatus. Climbing teams will compete to produce maximum energy output. Recreation of energy at its best!

Dependent claims

The Green Wall Exercise Power Generation Station (GW-EPGS) to create considerable amount of alternative energy by using the constant gravity pull on the total weight of the climber(s) escalading the rotating wall or ladder;

by applying maximum gravitational linear force directly above the drive shaft connected to a high torque-low rpm motor to convert the physical activity of the climber who maintains a relative position above the rotating shaft that feeds the constant gravitational pull from mechanical energy of climbing into electrical energy consisting of a generator connected to the exercise machine as disclosed in the detailed descriptions and drawings of the GW-EPGS Patent Specification document.
