The treadmill's dark and twisted past - Conor Heffernan

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/less...
The constant thud underneath your feet. The constrained space. The monotony of going nowhere fast. Running on a treadmill can certainly feel like torture, but did you know it was originally used for that very purpose? Conor Heffernan details the dark and twisted history of the treadmill.

I cut my pinkie toe. the machine kinda grinded up the skin of my toe. They had to carry to me back to the room to patch me up.

[@connection_ok]

This raises another interesting discussion: In my opinion, causal workout machines that replace normal actions like walking and biking are an incredibly American way of staying fit. The reason so many people are unhealthy and never seem to resolve to get better is pretty much entirely because everything you use to get everywhere is a car. I find it almost amusing how much culture is dedicated to slandering both the annoyance of exercise and traffic, yet no group large enough has come to a solid consensus to eliminate both the problems by just building new things closer and safer for pedestrians so you can finally walk there.

I would like to see a reference for treadmills being used to power windmills and that being why treadmills were so named. A "mill" is a machine that rotates and a windmill is a machine that rotates when the wind pushes it. A treadmill is something that rotates when a person or animal treads (or walks) on it. They may have been used in British prisons in the 1800s but they were around in Roman times and never disappeared completely.

Why don't they use those cycles, treadmills connected in a way, to generate power, in the modern gyms? Atleast to power up the TV in front of you..!

[@xxXthekevXxx]

Modern treadmills actually require power for them to move, so they’re possibly using more power than the tv...

[@wesker6908]

Why not a similar device that was used in 1800? I'm pretty sure there's a way to generate power without using power to power the treadmill. or use the cycling thing for power

[@MetalSandman999]

Power-generating stationary bikes do exist, but the amount of electricity they produce is so minimal that it is barely worth any additional cost or effort. I've seen estimates of average production being around 100 watt/hours. Badically, you can produce enough electricity to power a lightbulb for the duration of your exercise. The energy savings would be measured cents (not dollars) per month. When people talk about electricity being expensive, what they really mean is that you need a large amount of electricity to power all the devices people in developed countries use in their homes, so therefore you have to pay a lot of money. Electricity itself is relatively cheap. It's not like gold where a small amount of it is worth a lot of money.

[@Tokuijin]

Because you might wind up with people exercising to death.

[@ktakashismith]

There is a video on KZbin, I’m struggling to remember the name, “cyclist makes toast” or something along those lines. A normal person will put out 100-150W over an hour, a trained cyclist can do 200W for an hour, a larger professional cyclist might be able to put out 400W for an hour, but one half of a toaster requires 700W of electricity. Sadly, I don’t think most people would be able to power the TV they watch.

런닝머신이 옛날에는 영국 감옥의 고문 도구였다니, 정말 놀랍네요. 저도 가끔씩 런닝머신을 이용하는데, 이제 앞으로 운동을 할 때마다 이 동영상이 생각날 것 같습니다. 매일 신기한 사실을 아는 것이 즐겁습니다. 유익한 영상 감사합니다.

Their heads aren't that big so they don't have much to loose when they get decapatated:p

[@freezeburn1]

Except their BRAIN

[@billybigbollocks298]

most decapitation devices cut only the head off, leave out their brain stem, not a clean cut. and if their brain is the size of a pinhead, they'd mostly be operating on their brain stem. only thing stopping them from death is starvation, suffocation, and blood loss.
