Designer: Wendy Uhlman.

The Powerleap Playground is one neat concept that will harness the kinetic energy from children’s movements and convert it into electricity to power the playground. The unused electricity can be further used to power the park lights during night. POWERleap LLC is an alternative energy company seeking to create robust, highly efficient and scalable human energy harvesting solution available on the market. By harnessing the inherent energy in routine and recreational activity, Powerleap generates a new form of alternative energy for immediate use. We are short on the concept details, but the whole idea of a self-sustained, green playground looks appealing.
