It seems that a trampoline could offer more than fun and entertainement. It could also be used as a great mechanism of production, storage and convertion of energy.
The idea is based on tammar wallaby, a small member of the kangaroo family. These animals can exploit in a better way their kinetic energy coming from their movement by saving it in their tendons of its hind legs. In that way, they take advantage of the elastic energy saved in tendons. In our design, the kinetic energy comes from the leap of the children on an elastic surface (trampoline or even a dancefloor). This energy will be saved with a mechanism similar to tammar's tendons and it can either be converted directly to another sort of energy and be distributed to the city or be stored for future needs.
