The aim of zipcharge is to optimise the zipline.
When a person launches himself along the zipline, a cable is connected to the pulley so that it can be pulled back to the starting point. Brakes and electricity are used to rewind the cable.
Zipcharge would use the energy generated during the descent to retract the cable, leading to a surplus of electrical energy and less usage of the brakes.
