We’re not featuring this job since it includes the tiniest exercise bike in the world. It’s on the front page since the speed-control features which this dynamic duo added are hilarious. They phone call it the Webcycle as well as it’s really two hacks in one.
Way back in 2009 [Matt Gray] as well as [Tom Scott] slapped an Arduino on the bike as well as utilized it to determine the revolutions of the cranks (how quick your feet are going in circles). This was hooked as much as the laptop which is fastened to the handlebars. This method you can surf the Web while you work out, however the bandwidth is directly impacted by pedal speed. If you want to enjoy video you’re going to have to sweat…. a lot. inspect it out in the clip after the break.
This March they pulled the Webcycle out of storage to ensure that it may trip again. this time around it’s linked to the noise system in their exercise room. A record player motor is the victim in this case. You guessed it — pedal speed dictates the rate of the turntable, modulating the pitch drastically. Make sure the manager isn’t around when you enjoy this clip since it will be difficult not to guffaw.
These people truly have fun with this hacks. It was [Tom’s] birthday that prompted that hacktacular tiny golf course.
