Abstract: An exercise rowing machine with power generation includes: a main machine frame; a seat cushion slidably mounted on the main machine frame; a supporting rod mounted on the main machine frame; a holding rod mounted on the supporting rod; a damping device; and a power generation device. The damping device includes: a belt wheel, which is rotatably mounted on the supporting rod and connected with the belt wheel through a traction band; and a pulley block, which is mounted on the main machine frame and connected with the belt wheel through an elastic band. The power generation device includes: an electric generator, which includes an input shaft and is mounted between the main machine frame and the supporting rod; a driving belt, which connects the belt wheel with the input shaft of the electric generator; and a storage battery, which is electrically connected with the electric generator.
