  • Electronic flywheel and clutch for exercise apparatus
    Patent number: 5256115
    Abstract: An exercise apparatus which provides a variable load torque that substantially equals and opposes any possible input torque. A set of pedals is used to provide an input torque which is transmitted to the load. A speed reference command generator compares the input torque to a load torque setting and generates an electronic speed reference command signal. This signal is communicated to a speed servo to force the input speed to equal the speed reference command signal.
