How to Build a Stationary Bike Generator | eHowRyan Bauer
One of the first design decisions for SoulCycle’s bike was to extend the distance between the handlebars and seat relative to many other stationary bikes, forcing riders to exercise more than just their legs. “That enables you to extend your upper body and pull from your core throughout the...
Most home-use air compressors will be small enough to be moved around on wheels or carried around. If you have a home shop using pneumatic tools, a bigger-sized stationary tank will provide a better air source. In the reciprocating piston design, there is also the option of a single-stage...
You could carry a small voice recorder on a lanyard around your neck when on the bicycle, or on the seat next to yourself in the car, and record the distance at each turn along the route. When home, enter the readings into a computer spreadsheet, which lets you correct all of the ...
If you’re worried about muscle weakness raising your chance of tripping, try an elliptical machine, water aerobics, or a stationary bike. These options don’t require the same balance as walking or biking but still raise your heart rate and work out your muscles. Listen to your body. Stop...
Outdoors: Yes. Run or bike outdoors. You can even try chasing your dog for each speed interval. At home:Yes. This is a great workout to use on the treadmill or stationary bike. Or you can doweight-liftingintervals at home. Equipment required?None, unless you plan to work out on cardi...

The solution described in this article was implemented on a stationary exercise bicycle, as shown in theBicycle Power Meter video. Two strain gages were applied to the left crank arm of the bicycle and a small PCB containing the electronics was attached to the crank arm and wired to the str...
There is a circle in the middle of a goniometer representing 360o of motion, out of which come two extending arms: a stationary arm (connected to the protractor) and a moveable arm. When measuring knee range of motion, you need to identify three landmarks on the leg:...
The greatest power loss occurs in the second step, the conversion of rotational energy to electricity in the generator. Most bicycle generators can only convert about 60-80% of their power input into useful electricity. A generator's efficiency depends on both the generator's design and the ...
