ABSTRACT:
An ergometer apparatus such as a bicycle-type exerciser including a flywheel driven by a drive sprocket and chain. The flywheel includes a pair of permanent magnets moving past a pickup coil mounted on the frame of the ergometer as the flywheel is rotated. A portion of the voltage from the coil is taken from a potentiometer wiper arm positioned through the tension setting for the load on the flywheel and coupled to a meter calibrated to indicate the work expended by the operator of the ergometer. No external electrical power need be supplied to the metering apparatus.
