It’s a good idea of turning some movements in your rope-skipping exercises into electricity to charge some batteries. Apparently, this is just a concept, called the E-rope charger, designed by Kyung Guk Lee.
The charging mechanism lies in the handles which will be able to turn some spinning of the rope into electricity. There are some LEDs on the handles to show you the charging level. You need at least 20 minutes of exercise to get a battery to its fullest. This shouldn’t sound too hard, it’s the minimum length of time for a proper exercise that would help keep you in both good shape and health. The E-rope is able to charge up to 4 batteries at a time.
