ABSTRACT:
A rotary-type exercise device is driven by the running motion of the user who jogs or runs within a cylindrical mill wheel. The rotation of the mill wheel is transferred to a driveshaft, which, in turn, drives a generator. The power thus generated is stored in a battery for later use. The type of exercise involved in using this rotary device is singularly useful in promoting overall cardiovascular and pulmonary fitness. In addition, energy generated by the device supplements and reduces the overall amount of energy used and obtained from fossil fuels. There is a one-way drive mechanism connecting the mill wheel to the driveshaft.
