Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In accordance with one embodiment, an energy generating physical exercise machine characterized by guiderails attaching any standard size barbells and directing said barbells in vertical motions propelling both upward and downward movements by users of said embodiment as various exercises on it are performed. The interchangeable barbell guiderail attachments add a new level of versatility to the non-energy generating physical exercise machinery already in existence by making said embodiment more affordable at market in comparison to its predecessors, since said barbell is not necessarily included in the sale of said machine in order to be more cost effective, though it may be included, as well.

[0033] Said energy generating exercise machine is designed not necessarily for high loads of weight but for enabling the continuous power production of elevated RPM turnover with potential for added use of a gearing system for added resistance translating to higher RPM's in order to maximize cardiovascular exercise in tandem with significantly higher energy production. As a result, the added novel feature of an adjustable counterweight attachment on one or both sides of said machine allows the barbell weight to be offset and therefore de-loads the barbell weight from the user's shoulders while exercising on said embodiment. This novel feature's effect creates a higher energy generating capacity for users as well as an ability for users to endure longer energy generating exercise sessions to maximize energy production.

[0034] An additional novel feature of said energy generating exercise machinery comes from the dual-directional ratchet gear system which is connected by dual directional pulleys to said exercise portion of said machinery thereby designed to turn over one or more axles connecting to and turning over one or more flywheels that connect by belt to one or more alternator generators which turn over and generate electricity that is connected by wire from said alternator generators and transmitted thereby to a battery bank enclosed in a child proof battery bank compartment for storage and conversion by a power converter in said compartment to usable energy through one or more standard household plug-ins on one or more external panels on said compartment's external wall(s). Said dual directional ratchet gear system feature is added to create turnover from both upward motions and downward motions from said barbell guided exercise machine apparatus for more efficient exercise economy and significantly higher energy generation. This additional capability allows said mechanism to create and sustain significantly higher RPM's than would otherwise be achievable without it at any given exercise intensity. As a result, this feature allows this machine to be up to twice as effective as either directional motion being harnessed by itself, and enhances the novelty and efficiency of the cardiovascular conditioning effect of the exercises performed on it.

[0035] Said electricity produced by said alternator generator(s) is then transferred by battery wire(s) from said alternator generator(s) to one or more batteries in one or more battery banks in one or more childproof battery shelving compartments for power storage and subsequent power usage. Said battery compartment(s) feature a Direct Current to Alternating Current Power Converter with voltage conversion to 110 Volt and/or 220 Volt levels, or any other predetermined voltage settings. Said battery bank compartment(s) feature one or more external electrical plug-in panels on said external battery shelving compartment walls to use said harnessed energy as 110 Volt and/or 220 Volt Direct Current and Alternating Current electrical supply for use in various ways as can be found in standard 110 Volt and/or 220 Volt household electrical plug-in panels on said battery bank compartment's external walls.

CONCLUSION, RAMIFICATIONS, AND SCOPE

[0036] Accordingly, the reader will understand that said adjustably counterweighted, barbell interchangeable, and dual directional ratchet geared energy generating exercise machine allows the user to produce energy with usage of said machine to be stored and/or used as determined by said machine's owner. Any amount of energy produced on said machine is maximized by an energy harnessing system that combines one or more alternators to charge one or more battery banks that store and redistribute produced electrical power into and from a child proof and ventilated enclosable battery bank compartment for subsequent use. Power production is significantly increased with incorporation of one or more flywheels to retain inertia, an adjustable counterweight feature to offset said barbell's weighted resistance while in use, and dual directional ratchet gear mechanism that cranks axle turnover in both directions of up and down on the guiderails thereby maximizing propulsive axial turnover and therefore energy generation and storage by said exercise machine. Furthermore, the adjustably counterweighted, barbell interchangeable and dual directional ratchet geared Energy Harnessing Exercise Machine has all following additional advantages: [0037] It permits use of any preferred standard size barbell by user and thereby decreases upfront cost and increases versatility of exercises which can be performed on said exercise apparatus [0038] It increases energy production with dual directional ratchet gearing to turn over said axle(s) with both upward and downward motions to keep said machine's RPM elevated and therefore allows users to exercise in a more efficient way with relatively greater concurrent energy production from any relative intensity of work performed without such feature [0039] It increases economy of exercise by featuring an adjustable counterweighting system to the barbell to unload the barbell weight from users point(s) of contact, allowing for an aerobic workout instead of an anaerobic workout, or a less intense workload overall while maintaining or increasing the energy produced and the RPMs maintained, or elevated RPm ranges to be sustained for longer periods of exercise

[0040] Thus, the scope of the embodiments should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents, rather than by the examples given.
