POWER PLAYGROUND

What if you could do more at an interstate rest stop than just rest? The Power Playground is a kinetic sculpture that uses your workout to power an air compressor.

Heath and energy — no two issues could be more important or timely. Americans today face growing health issues due to inactivity. They also consume more energy per person than almost any other nation in the world.

Power Playground is designed to help change these trends with an outdoor exercise and energy station. It is a modular human-powered air compressor that anyone can use — and everyone will want to try.

When you spend hours every day on the road, finding a place to exercise is tough. While highway sites (travel plazas and rest stops) are our first target, we are also creating an urban model for bus stop and park areas designed to provide compressed air to cyclists on adjacent bike lanes.
