Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The apparatus is adapted to an exercise device with an energy absorbing unit that has a self calibrating energy monitor. It comprises at least one rotating flywheel which is driven through a one way clutch. There is a braking mechanism to apply resistance to the flywheel. A self calibrating energy monitor computes the dissipated power with a formula relating power to angular velocity, typically a coefficient of resistance times the angular velocity of the flywheel raised by an exponent determined by the brake used. The monitor consists of a microprocessor that is programmed to periodically self calibrate the formula and receives its impulses from a sensor.
