Apparatus, system, and method for dual tread treadmill improvements

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 clutch axle comprising:
• an axle rotatably connected to the frame;
• a first driver coupled to the axle by a first clutch, the first clutch to transmit torque between the first driver and the axle in response to the first driver being rotated in a first direction relative to the axle;
• wherein the first treadle is connected to the first driver through a first link such that the first driver is rotated in a first direction in response to the first treadle being pivoted in the first direction;
• a transmission to transmit torque between the axle and a generator.

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;
• 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;
• and
• a sensor to sense the position of the first treadle relative to the second treadle.
