    Extractions: Human-Powered Vehicles By Steven Schultz By the time students left the second session of MAE 199 this fall, they were sweating. That wasn't because they had spent the last couple hours steeped in problems of physics, fluid dynamics and materials science. It had more to do with sitting on a stationary bicycle and pedaling madly while talking about physics, fluid dynamics and materials science. That's the way it is in Barrie Royce's Human-Powered Vehicles, a class in which the bicycle is as much a teaching tool as the blackboard. The course explores the machines humans have devised to leverage their own strength and propel themselves faster and farther than their own two feet could carry them. It ranges from dugout canoes to human-powered airplanes but focuses on the bicycle. "The idea is to get students to think about science and engineering as something that's part of real life," says Royce, who is professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering.

    Extractions: Image Gallery More Green Transportation from Mother Earth News More Green Transportation from Mother Earth Living Photos by Bob Keim As we've noted in this magazine before, a bicycle is about the most efficient transportation device yet developed. With its light weight and its highly effective roller chain-and-sprocket drive system, the two-wheeled conveyance is about five times more energy-thrifty-when distance and weight are taken into account—than is either an unaided human or an automobile. It should come as no surprise, then, that a lot of folks would like to put this potential fuel-saver into proper perspective in our energy-scarce world. Of course, in many countries, the bicycle already plays as important (or more so!) a transportation role as does the motorized vehicle ...but in North America it's generally been relegated to sporting or pleasure status. The International Human Power Vehicle Association, however, hopes to change all that. This Claremont, California-based group-founded, in 1974, by bike-racing enthusiasts who were interested in expanding the frontiers of vehicle design—has sponsored annual speed championships since its inception, and, as a result of the competitions, a new sort of machine has emerged which just might be the forerunner of a swift, practical humanpowered commuter vehicle!

    Extractions: Return to Back Issues main page Return to Current Issue's Home Page Paul MacCready Flying Higher and Quieter I n 1977, much of the world watched as television news reports showed a wiry bicyclist pedaling like mad to propel a human-powered airplane across the English Channel, barely staying above water. With a see-through skin revealing its framework, it looked like it was flying backwards, like an early Wright Brothers craft. After the heroic feat, the man who developed the plane, Paul MacCready, became known as the father of human-powered flight, as he was the first to do it successfully. Most people would consider this the pinnacle of their career and could live happy even if this was the only significant thing they accomplished. Others may play the role of barnstormer and relish the publicity of such an event that brings a brief flurry of fame. MacCready took neither path. Rather, this was just one in a series of accomplishments for the 77-year-old head of AeroVironment in Monrovia, California. He had made a name as a pilot and innovator in highly-efficient flight long before the epic channel crossing, and he has done many things since, in aviation and beyond. Born in New Haven, Connecticut, MacCready developed a passion for flying at an early age. "When I was ten or 11 years old, I lived at the shore at Branford, Connecticut in the summers and got very turned on to butterflies and moths," he recalls. In collecting them, he marveled at their ability to fly with such delicate wings. At the age of 12, he got into flying model airplanes and designing his own gasoline- and rubber-band-powered models, everything from gliders and helicopters to ornithopters and autogyros. "I remember thinking this was so wonderful and natural." Then at 16, he graduated to real planes and soloed in a Piper Cub.

This includes generators, mills, drills, presses, boats, planes, and land vehicles. If a human muscle powers it, it's on topic. - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hpwd By Ben Erickson Pedal power energy has been in use since the nineteenth century. Pedal power uses the most powerful muscles in the body: the quads, hamstrings, and calves. When pedaling in a circular motion at sixty to eighty revolutions per minute, with the use of toe clips, almost every muscle in the human legs can be used to make energy. Ninety-five percent of the exertion put into pedal power is converted into energy. The average rider at a continuous road speed of twelve miles per hour can produce a quarter horsepower, or enough energy to light two, one hundred-watt light bulbs (Wilson 1977). The average, fit, adult rider can produce only 75 watts or 1/10hp when

One of the major activities of VicHPV community is organising free social rides in Victoria. These rides are open to anyone, whether you are a member of OzHPV or not. Other activites of members include particpating in the annual national "Challenge" run by OzHPV, which is a friendly get-together with both competitive and fun events. Members are also involved in organising events, commuting, building, racing and advocating for HPVs. Sample the comfort and joy of riding a recumbent. - Join us at our Come and Try recumbent days, or the OzHPV Challenge. - Join us on one of the regular rides on your own bike. There is usually an opportunity to try a recumbent during the ride. Most of the rides are on bike trails, so if you want a shorter ride it's easy to ride part way and return by the same path.
