Energy recuperation by the power of muscles 

The idea
Our goal is to turn either a lat pull down or a shoulder press into a component of energy regain. The kinetic energy generated during training is fed back electrically via recuperation in order to power a smart training device.

On a small scale to power the machine itself, on a large scale possibly to power the gym.
Think Big, Start Small.

Personal identification
The customizable smart training device uses an NFC card to recognize the user and adjust the training device to fit the user. This includes saving the user's performance data so that it can be retrieved later.

Safety First
Safety first - no compromises: If the training device fails, the arm locks at the position where the power was interrupted. This prevents a sudden lowering of the lever arm that could endanger the user.
