The discussion of any type of equipment or transportation
using human muscles, usually leg muscles with cranks and chains. This
includes generators, mills, drills, presses, boats, planes, and land
vehicles. If a human muscle powers it, it's on topic. - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hpwd
Pedal Power: Spinning for the Future at CCAT
By Ben Erickson
Pedal power energy has been in use since the nineteenth century. Pedal
power uses the most powerful muscles in the body: the quads, hamstrings, and
calves. When pedaling in a circular motion at sixty to eighty revolutions
per minute, with the use of toe clips, almost every muscle in the human legs
can be used to make energy. Ninety-five percent of the exertion put into
pedal power is converted into energy. The average rider at a continuous road
speed of twelve miles per hour can produce a quarter horsepower, or enough
energy to light two, one hundred-watt light bulbs (Wilson 1977).
The average, fit, adult rider can produce only 75 watts or 1/10hp when
cycling at a continuous 12mph.
Only a top cycling athlete can produce 200W or about 1/4 hp - and this is
only for short bursts before overheating - not continuously, and this was
confirmed during the Man Powered flights for the Kremer
challenge in about
1981.
I too have read "Bicycling Science" by Wilson 1977, and I think
that someone
has perhaps mistaken continuous power with peak power. At the end of the day
we are just machines, and if you stress us too much we will break sooner.

In this day and age, with the over abundance of automobiles and powered
machines, pedal power can still take a place in the lives of the earth
conscious. Pedal power can be applied to a tremendously large variety of
jobs besides the most familiar form, transportation. Tools that can be
operated by pedal power are the bandsaw, meat grinder, wood carver, stone
polisher and buffer, jewelers lathe, and pottery wheel. Appliances such as a
juicer, potato peeler, meat slicer, cherry pitter, or a butter churn can be
used with pedal power. On the farm, pedal power can pump water, plow, and
clean grain. The list of applications that pedal power can be incorporated
with can go on and on. Here at CCAT, pedal power is used to run a drill
press, washing machine,grinder, TV/VCR, generator, and a human energy
converter.
An important aspect of pedal power is that when the cranks are spun, the
force is put into the machine unevenly. The energy being produced comes
shakily and in spurts. A flywheel can be used to curb the effect of the
unevenness associated with pedaling. Flywheels weigh between twenty-five and
thirty-five pounds. The inertia of the spinning flywheel when spun at speed
evens out the spikes of force that occur when pedaling.
Pedal Power is an excellent source of energy. Pedal power can be applied
to a wide range of jobs. Pedal Power is a simple, cheap, and convenient
source of energy. With the human population at six billion and growing,
pedal power can be incorporated in the lives of families living in third
world countries to improve the quality of their lives while being friendly
to the earth. Pedal Power is an appropriate technology for now and for the
future. - http://www.humboldt.edu/%7Eccat/pedalpower/

Taking the saying "One Less Car" literally, I decided to
act as a transportation surrogate , carrying things on my bike for other
so they wouldn't have to drive their car to meet their basic needs. I
first started out delivering groceries to residents between classes or
after school, using a small bicycle cargo trailer made by a well-known
bicycle trailer manufacturer. http://www.bikesatwork.com/index.html

The MIT Human-Powered Hydrofoil project was born in a discussion
between Marc Schafer (MIT SM '92) and Bryan Sullivan (MIT SM '??) on a
flight from Greece. As members of the Daedalus team, they had just
helped set the world record for long distance human-powered flight. A
human-powered hydrofoil, they mused, would be a vehicle which any team
member could ride, not just the well-toned atheletes. When Marc and
Bryan returned to the United States in the summer of 1988, they
formulated a proposal and received seed money from the MIT
SeaGrant office. http://lancet.mit.edu/decavitator/History.html
