-<And now for something completely different!>- I got an exercise bike today. It's described as a "magnetic" exercise bike. I suppose this means the resistance is provided by a magnet acting on a ferrous disc attached to the pedals but I couldn't locate any technical details.
What to do while exercising - why, listen to the Squeezebox, of course! :-) Except I couldn't. The SB kept freezing, stalling, dropping out. In short it performed the worst it ever had in the 10 minutes I was using this bike. When I stopped, everything went back to normal. So I guess my question is - would there be any way using this bike would cause EMI? By Faraday's Law, current would be induced in the disc - it would have to be. Would it then emit EMI? It's a very cheap bike, so if the more expensive ones have any sort of shielding this one does not have it... Hopefully no one thinks I'm a quack for asking, but the effect is dramatic and repeatable. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22206 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
