Abstract
A description is given to a new type of bicycle ergometer designed specifically for accurate measurement of low work rates. A specially designed pedal wheel with one spoke to which strain gauges are attached for measuring the input torque ensures that chain and bearing losses are allowed for. An automatically controlled electromagnetic brake ensures that a constant work rate is maintained over a very wide range of speeds.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
