Abstract
A dual treadle treadmill. The dual treadle treadmill includes a frame, a first treadle, a second treadle, and a generator. The first treadle and the second treadle are each pivotally coupled with the frame and each have a moving surface. The generator is operably associated with the first treadle such that the generator is driven in response to the first treadle pivoting relative to the frame. Other embodiments of dual treadle treadmills are also described.
Claims20
An dual treadle treadmill comprising:
- a frame;
- a first treadle having a first moving surface, the first treadle pivotally coupled with the frame;
- a second treadle having a second moving surface, the second treadle pivotally coupled with the frame;
- and
- a generator operably associated with the first treadle such that the generator is driven in response to the first treadle pivoting relative to the frame.
A dual treadle treadmill comprising:
- a frame;
- a first treadle having a first moving surface, the first treadle pivotally coupled with the frame;
- a second treadle having a second moving surface, the second treadle pivotally coupled with the frame;
- a generator operably associated with the first treadle such that the generator is driven in response to the first treadle pivoting relative to the frame;
- and
- a rocker in mechanical communication with the first treadle and the second treadle, the rocker to synchronize the first treadle and the second treadle such that when the first treadle is at its highest position, the second treadle is at its lowest position.
A dual treadle treadmill comprising
- a frame;
- a first treadle having a first moving surface, the first treadle pivotally coupled with the frame;
- a second treadle having a second moving surface, the second treadle pivotally coupled with the frame;
- a generator operably associated with the first treadle such that the generator is driven in response to the first treadle pivoting relative to the frame;
- and
- a transmission to transmit force between the first treadle and the generator.
