I am moving at least the pedalwiki to another provider.

Hostmonster.com has an unadvertised limit of 500 email messages per hour. Beyond that they shut you off. Since even one received message generates more than 500 outbound messages, we would not be able to meet this requirement and support all the ihpva.org lists. Consequently I will be moving the mailing lists to http://bikelist.org/ tonight. I should be able to set up forwarding to avoid loss of any messages that you send using the old addresses.

Human-powered transport From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Human-powered transport is the transport of person(s) and/or goods using human muscle power. Like animal-powered transport , human-powered transport has existed since time immemorial in the form of walking running and swimming . Modern technology has allowed machines to enhance human-power. Although motorization has increased speed and load capacity, many forms of human-powered transport remain popular for reasons of lower cost, leisure physical exercise and environmentalism . Human-powered transport is sometimes the only type available (especially in underdeveloped or inaccessible regions), and is considered an ideal form of sustainable transportation Contents Available muscle power Modes of transporting self Using only one's own muscles Modes for transporting others ... edit Available muscle power Sherpa carrying wood to Mount Everest base camp The average "in-shape" cyclist can produce about 3 watts/kg for more than an hour (e.g., around 200 watts for a 70 kg rider), with top amateurs producing 5 watts/kg and elite athletes achieving 6 watts/kg for similar lengths of time. Elite track sprint cyclists are able to attain an instantaneous maximum output of around 2,000 watts, or in excess of 25 watts/kg; elite road cyclists may produce 1,600 to 1,700 watts as an instantaneous maximum in their burst to the finish line at the end of a five-hour long road race. edit Modes of transporting self edit Using only one's own muscles Crawling Walking and

9. Program: Hpv (updated 10/2/07) human powered vehicles have captured the imagination of designers, builders, and riders all over the world, for transportation, load carrying, socializing, http://www.ent.ohiou.edu/~et181/hpv/hpv.html

Human Power Vehicles - 1 (Program: "hpv") This exercise is the first of a sequence of six programming exercises based on a common theme (which we will develop and evolve throughout the rest of the quarter) in which we wish to evaluate the performance of human powered vehicles (hpv) for land transportation. Performance refers to the steady state velocity reached versus applied human power under constant specific conditions. Background Human powered vehicles have captured the imagination of designers, builders, and riders all over the world, for transportation, load carrying, socializing, racing, and touring. My favorite hpv link is the International Human Powered Vehicle Association site which gives one a glimps into hpv activity throughout the world. A more general directory of cycling related websites is presented in Cycling Resources In 1992, the 200m world human powered land speed record was set by team Cheetah at 68.73mph. This record was broken by Canadian Sam Whittingham during the 2002 Human Powered Speed Championships in Battle Mountain, Nevada at 81.00mph! (This remarkable record has not been broken since - refer to the 2007 World Human Power Speed Challenge history of previous events). During the same event in 2002, Sam's wife

But its not just about the cutting edge - just the opportunity to participate keeps many teams coming back year after year! The primary school event begins on the Friday on the Holden track with the teams having a mandatory rest overnight, racing for a total of 14 hours. The secondary schools race begins on the Saturday afternoon on the RACV circuit, with a practice session on the Friday night.

15. Human Powered Vehicles: The Future Of Personal Transportation I make a point of carrying more weight than I need just to help build muscle that I need to overcome the limitations of human powered vehicles. http://funnyfarmart.com/HPVpagetwo.htm

Human Powered Vehicles: the future of personal transportation by Nhoj Yesdnil click on photos The auto industry is giving us the same lies that they did in the fifties and sixties about the future of cars, but now they promise pollution free machines, hydrogen-electric computer controlled cars. They even tell us that they can put more cars on the freeway; bumper to bumper at racing speeds. Some want to fill the skys with flying cars, as if fuel could get cheaper. That sounds insane to me. PRICE OF FUEL. There are 204 million motor vehicles (140m cars) in the U.S.A. 600 million worldwide, using 40 million gallons of gasoline a day producing Carbon dioxide emissions of about 7 billion metric tons annually and shooting up because of the governments misinformation campaign about global warming. The world population is approximately 6.5 billion now, but an extra three billion people are expected by mid-century requiring three times as much energy. Obviusly the world needs voluntary populatuion control, but that’s even less likely to happen than cheap energy. As long as petroleum prices are kept artificially low (gas tax revolts, subsidized acquisition of oil by war, denial of global warming), the post industrial world will continue it's happy addiction! Eventually we will all have to pay the price for not changing our “way of life” when it was easy!!!

You all helped make the event one of the most successful competitions that the IHPVA and the HPVA have had over the 30 years since the first race in 1976. The Nissan event was a perfect way to end the Dempsey/MacCready HPV Hour Prize competition. Who could have predicted the outcome, or who could have written a better script for the surprise ending? It was perfect. Perfect! It was a pure pleasure for me to have been present at the first International Human Powered Speed Championships and the latest competition at the Nissan test track in Casa Grande, Arizona. Thanks especially to Paul MacCready and Ed Dempsey for their generosity in making the Prize competition possible. And my heartfelt thanks to Al and Alice Krause for organizing the Nissan event. They did a fantastic job. And thanks again to all of you for providing three decades of fun and enthusiasm. It has been a grand 30 years. Sincerely

Australian National Pedal Prix The Australian National Pedal Prix is a competition where teams design and construct a human powered vehicle (HPV) and test it for a 24-hour period under race conditions. The HPV is mechanically similar to a bicycle - the driver sits in a seat and uses pedals to move it along. In addition, there are some hybrid vehicles in the competition, which also contain an alternate power source, such as an internal combustion engine or a solar powered electrical engine. The HPV isdriven on a bitumized road surface, and is seen as a viable form of transport for people seeking a healthy lifestyle.

Jim's Random Notes Musings on technology and life Home Jim's Random Notes Old Random Notes Archive ... .NET Reference Guide Blogs I Like Jeff Duntemann Michael Covington Ms. Mona Friday, 10 August, 2001 Are Human Powered Vehicles Practical? Somebody at work a while back postulated that it was possible to design a human powered vehicle in which a person could, with moderate effort, achieve and maintain 60 MPH. It's a nice dream, until you sit down and do the math. You can imagine that a lot of people have spent considerable time crunching these particular numbers. It didn't take me long to find the International Human Powered Vehicle Association on the Internet. Using the spreadsheets from their tools page , I came up with some representative numbers. The primary impediments to motion are rolling friction and air resistance, so I selected the vehicle that has the least air resistance (a streamlined recumbent bicycle), and a tire with very low coefficient of rolling friction (0.002). Finally, I assumed that the combined weight of rider and vehicle is 200 pounds. To maintain a speed of 60 MPH with that combination would require a sustained power output of 0.825 HP. Fine. But even elite athletes (think Lance Armstrong) can achieve a sustained power output of only 0.4 horsepower (about 300 watts) for long periods. A reasonably fit person can expect to maintain between 0.1 and 0.15 HP for a 4-hour period. Obviously, we can't expect human powered vehicles to travel at 60 MPH. The interesting thing is that the power requirement doesn't increase linearly with weight. If you double the weight of the bike and riders to 400 pounds (say, a dual bicycle with two people pedaling), the required output power only increases to 0.892 HP. Two elite athletes working together could come very close to a sustained 60 MPH.
