  • Exercise apparatus and method
    Patent number: 11969627
    Abstract: An exercise apparatus includes: an electrical generator which is configured to be driven by user effort; an electrical output port configured to electrically connect to an electrical storage device or an inverter; and an electrical resistive load. An electrical energy conversion unit has an input connected to the electrical generator and is configured to receive electrical energy from the electrical generator. The electrical energy conversion unit has a first output connected to the electrical output port and a second output connected to the electrical load. A controller is configured to receive an input selection of a required exercise resistance and to determine a first output voltage/current for the first output of the electrical energy conversion unit and a second output voltage/current for the second output of the electrical energy conversion unit to provide the required exercise resistance.
