Hi everyone....can't find the original pics of my swing glider like this
but I started work on a new improved compact version of the ratchet
mechanism, using the ratchet action of an old 5 speed deraileur.
I respoked it to a small 12 inch bike wheel then a brake rotor gets attached
to it for the flywheel.
Belt drive to treadmill generator since the treadmill motor has a nice pulley
that a clothes dryer belt fits....then just the right size pulley on th flywheel.
Will send pics as I progress.
No ....my swing glider don't look as good as the above picture....needs a coat
of paint as to be expected....hmmm how long ago was that?
BTW the sun has been really hot.....swinging is a good way to keep cool.
