    What are the physics/forces behind a bike pedal?

    I'm pretty sure the bike uses magnets to increase resistance, although I'm not absolutely certain as partner on this project is working on incorporating resistance into data analysis. Another thing I previously failed to mention is that I'm planning on not using any of the data that the bike...

    What are the physics/forces behind a bike pedal?

    From what I quickly looked up about dynamometers, they seem too big and expensive for what my project is trying to accomplish - a relatively cheap and automatic way to track gym exercise. Also, I'm trying to make this all electronic, so I would have no way of taking in data with a dynamometer.

    What are the physics/forces behind a bike pedal?

    Hi All, Sorry for the late reply Thanks for the responses! Allow me to clarify my project a bit: I'm trying to mount sensors on stationary gym bikes, and use the data from the accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyroscope (9-axis motion) for further analysis. This means that I don't need to worry...

    What are the physics/forces behind a bike pedal?

    Hi All, I am working on a project that mounts an accelerometer to the bike pedal, and requires me to calculate the power that the sensor experiences as the bike is being ridden. However, I am having some trouble understanding the forces that the pedal/sensor experiences. Essentially, I need...
