Basics
- A standardized device that allows for consistent stabalized human powered energy input
- Mainly direct mechanical, but could be others such as hydraulic, pnuematic, or electric
Basic Design
HMID
- Human Mechanical Input Device
- Essentially gymnasium equipment (Bicicyle Pedals, Elyptical, Rowing maching, Climbing Machine (Bar or Rockwall), etc)
- Connects to a standerdized output axle
COD
- Controlled Output Device
- Turns the varied and irregular input of a human into a metered consistent input
- Uses the combiniation of a Flywheel (Lower Limit) and a Centrifugal Govenor (Upper Limit)
(Optional) CVT
- Continously Variable Transmission
- Allows the device to be more efficient and/or produce more torque/reach a higher rpm
