Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a vintage treatise on the use of a bicycle ergometer in the measurement and the computation of the amount of energy used by the human body. At its core, it is an exploration of the mechanical efficiency of the human body as a machine, as well as a technical manual for the calibration and use of a bicycle ergometer. "A Bicycle Ergometer with an Electric Brake" is recommended for modern cycling enthusiasts and collectors of vintage literature of this ilk. Contents include: "Detailed Description of the Bicycle Ergometer," "General Considerations regarding Method of Use," "Method of Calibration," "Calibration Tests," "The Technique of a Calibration Experiment," "Earlier Calibration Tests," "Friction tests with Ergometer II," "The Magnetic Reactions Produced by a Copper Disk Rotating Between the Poles of a Magnet," et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the History of the Bicycle.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Bicycle Ergometer With an Electric Brake A practical application of thermodynamic principles that has interested economists and physiologists has been the problem of determining the mechanical efficiency of the human body as a machine. Not only were the earlier writers handicapped by an inability to determine accurately the intake of energy by the body in food and drink - a handicap that has since been admirably overcome by the use of the accurate calori-metric bomb - but they were likewise handicapped by an inadequate measurement of the mechanical output of the individual experimented upon. A study of this subject, therefore, must divide itself into two parts: first, the determination of the intake of energy, and second, the measurement and computation of the amount of work done. The present paper is concerned with the second of these two divisions. Without going into an extended historical discussion relative to this subject, it may be said that the attempts to make computations of the intake and output of energy have been very numerous and for the most part extremely crude, those of the output of energy dealing usually with the work of either the arms or the legs. Among the various methods used for studying the amount of work done by the arm may be mentioned the lifting of weights, the filing of cast iron, pulling up weights by means of a rope, shoveling earth to a height of about 2 meters, pulling on an oar, pumping water, hammering, turning a crank or winch, and the more accurate method recently employed by Zuntz of using a brake ergometer, and Johansson of raising weights. In tests with the leg-motion, the muscular work has been for the most part confined to lifting the body to a definite height by ascending a ladder or stairs, carrying weights up stairs, wheeling a loaded wheelbarrow up an incline, walking on a treadmill, and, more especially, riding a bicycle or an apparatus similar in form. In studying the muscular work in the leg-motion of bicycling, a special apparatus has been extensively employed. One of the earlier types of this machine was that described by Atwater and Benedict, in which a pulley attached to the armature shaft of a small dynamo was pressed against the rear wheel of a bicycle; the current generated by this dynamo as it revolved by the movement of the pedals was then measured. By using the dynamo as a motor, the machine could also be calibrated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
