ABSTRACT:
A rowing exercise apparatus is capable of emulating the actual sensations of rowing, including the sensation of tippiness at slow rowing speeds and also providing an artificially induced sense of motion to the rower of the apparatus at the end of each rowing stroke. The energy put forth by the rower by pulling the oars is transmitted to the gyroscopic flywheel by a system of belt and pulleys operatively connected between the oars and the flywheel for the purpose of creating and maintaining stability of the rower's seat, which then simulate the action or feeling of a rower in a shell gliding in water. The rowing exercise apparatus is capable of lending itself to group participating exercise by means of coupling two or more machines, end to end, in a horizontal plane.
