Four person fan bike
By Joseph Duff
The four person fan bike is an old machine it dates back from about 100 years ago.
It is in some museums nowadays.
There is also a one seater fan bike but it's much more modern.
The four person fan bike looks unusual at first sight but once you get use to it it looks more appealing.The fan bike has four seats with pedals under them.A huge fan with a guard.A chain (hidden) and pole (unhidden).Fan spins around at a fast speed it looks like its invisible.
How the four person fan bike works,when people pedal the cogs turn forcing the chain to turn.
Once the cogs are turning a pole turns which is connected to a cog at the back once that cog is turning a pulley which is connected to a wheel at the back which turns the fan.
NOTE:Pedals may get very fast.
Forces involved in a fan bike,Kinetic energy and push air pushing onto you.
The fan is forcing air to push onto you.
These forces start with you pedaling.
I love the fan bike it balances energy work out (Getting hot)with cold air.
Its an awesome machine it shows how older engineering was like!
So that is my information report about the fan bike
