Man has needed and used energy at an increasing rate for his
sustenance and well-being ever since he came on earth for
few million year ago. Due to this lot of energy resources have
been exhausted and wasted. Proposal for the utilization of
waste energy of power generation by gym pulley is very
much relevant and important for highly populated countries
like India and china the people are crazy about gym. In this
project we are generating electrical power as non-
conventional method by simply pull up and pull down. Non-
conventional energy system is very essential at this time to
our nation. Non-conventional energy using pull up pull down
is converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. In

Chain Drive: - A Chain drive is a way of transmitting

mechanical power from one place to another. Here we are
using the chain drive to increase the speed of rotation

Alternator:- An alternator is an electrical generator that

converts mechanical energy into electrical energy

6. Conclusion

The Power generation gym equipment will convert human

efforts into electrical energy which otherwise gets wasted. It
will help in finding new sources of renewable energy & help
us to overcome the energy crises that we are facing &
increase in global warming that we are facing to increased
use of non-renewable energy sources for generation of
electricity.
