32 Minis Newsletter Bicycles
Academy Art Museum academyartmuseum.org MINIS AT HOME volume 1, issue 32 Greetings kids, parents, grandparents, guardians, friends and neighbors! Welcome to issue 32 of Minis at Home newsletter. This is our last newsletter of the school year. We hope you have enjoyed reading the newsletters as much as we have enjoyed preparing them for you. Remember that exploring the natural world, working on projects together with your family, and making time to read are all important activities to keep mind and body healthy. This week’s theme = Bicycles It's that time of year when we are heading outside more and more as the weather becomes warmer and our days become longer. Some of us might enjoy a walk, some of us might ride horses, and some of us may play soccer, but many of us like to ride bikes and scooters best. Bicycle comes from “bi," which means two, and “cycle," which means circle. Wheels, of course, are shaped like circles. Bicycles have 2 wheels, 2 peddles, a frame and handlebars. There is a chain that is connected to cogs. When you push the pedals with your legs, this turns the chain, which then turns the back wheel. You steer the front wheel with the handlebars. The short name for “bicycle” is “bike.” It takes a little practice to balance on a bike. Children who are just learning to balance on a bike may use training wheels that keep the bike from falling over. Very young children can ride a tricycle (or “trike”), which has three wheels and can’t tip at all.

Eight male elite BMX riders volunteered for the study. Each rider performed three, 10 second maximal sprints on an Olympic standard indoor BMX track. The riders’ bicycles were fitted with a portable SRM power meter. Each rider performed the three sprints using gear ratios of 41/16, 43/16, 45/16 tooth. The results from the 41/16 and 45/16 gear ratios were compared to the current standard 43/16 gear ratio. Statistically significant differences were found between the gear ratios for peak power (F(2,14) = 6.448; p = 0.010) and peak torque (F(2,14) = 4.777; p = 0.026), but no significant difference was found for time to peak power (F (2,14) = 0.200; p = 0.821).

English Summary Walter Ulreich / Wolfgang Wehap Die Geschichte der PUCH-Fahrräder ISBN 978-3-7059-0381-4 22,5 x 26,5 cm, 400 Seiten mit ca. 500 farbigen Abb., Hardcover mit Schutzumschlag, geb., Euro 48,– 1. Beginnings of Bicycle Manufacturing in Austria and Weishaupt Verlag • www.weishaupt.at Styria (1885 – 1889) High wheel bicycles first appeared in Austria-Hungary in 1880. Since they were originally imported from England, they were called “bicycles”. The word Fahrrad came later (though in Swiss German, Velo became the established term). Regular production of high wheel bicycles in Austria-Hungary began in Jan Kohout’s factory for agricultural machines in Smíchov, near Prague, in 1880, following English designs. Kohout’s sons Josef and Petr made a name for themselves and the bicycles as successful racers. Smaller makers before 1885, such as Valentin Wiegele in Korpitsch near Villach, only became known locally. In Vienna, Karl Greger’s Velociped-Fabrik started making high wheel bicycles in 1884 under the brand name ‘Austria’; the annual output seems to have reached 300–400 bicy- cles. In 1896, Greger was mentioned as “the oldest bicycle factory of Austria and one of the largest on the continent”, and as “ founder of the bicycle industry in Austria-Hunga- ry”. At about the same time as Greger, Carl Goldeband and the sewing-machine factory of H. Wagner also began making bicycles in Vienna. In the years from 1885 to 1889, there is good evidence that bicycles were also being made by Mathias Allmer, Josef Benesch und Josef Eigler in Graz, Johann Jax in Linz, Josef Fritsch in Eger (Cheb), Julius Mickerts und Otto Schäffler in Vienna, Nicolaus Heid in Stockerau, near Vienna and G.

Determining the Fastest Gear Set-Up on a Single Speed BMX Bike Through a Designated Course
CALIFORNIA STATE SCIENCE FAIR 2007 PROJECT SUMMARY Name(s) Project Number Austin J. Hiatt J0214 Project Title Determining the Fastest Gear Set-Up on a Single Speed BMX Bike through a Designated Course Abstract Objectives/Goals The objective of my project is to determine the best gear combinations and crank arm lengths for a single speed BMX race bike on a designated course. Methods/Materials A 2006 Redman Expert XL BMX Racing Frame with 20" wheels was used with 6 different gear set-ups with 160mm and 165mm crank arms. A testing course was selected on an American Bicycle Association Sanctioned Track and measured with a measuring wheel. Using a hydrraulic strating gate and a line and cones marking the finishing point, I tested the different gear set-ups using a stop-watch to track the results. I rested during each gear change as to be sure that fatigue would not effect the results. Results After running several tests on the designated course, I recorded my results on a chart. The smaller front chain ring and rear cogs with the 165mm crank arms proved to be the fastest combinations. Conclusions/Discussion After testing the gear combinations, I realized that the 37 front chain ring gear with a 13 rear gear using the 165mm crank arms produces the fastest average time on the first straight of Tulare BMX track. This set-up had the perfect resistance against my feet at top end speed and surprisingly did not take that much effort to get moving. The slowest set-up was the 43 front chain ring gear with a 16 rear gear using the 165mm crank arms.

Building a Motorized Drift Trike Hayden Pegley
Building a Motorized Drift Trike Hayden Pegley ASR - F Block - 5/17/2017 Abstract: The goal of this project was to create an affordable motorized drift trike using a hand-welded steel frame, the front half of a used mountain bike, and a 6.5 hp, 212 cc Predator gas engine. The back frame of the trike was welded over the course of several weeks, and components including the axle, front wheel, and throttle system were added after the frame’s completion. While the trike is not fully operational, the throttle system is functional and the trike is near completion. Introduction, Motivation, and History During my freshman year, while conducting an experiment in the Whitaker Lab, I stumbled upon a go kart that an ASR student had recently completed. I was fascinated by the idea of making an operational automobile during high school. I promised myself then and there that I would take ASR and make a go kart of my own for my second semester project. However, as I began the initial research stages for my project and read previous students’ papers, it became clear that making a go kart would not be an original idea. I determined the two aspects of a go kart that made it appealing to me, those being that is was fun and motorized, and continued my search for an alternative project. It was on a go kart parts website that the phrase “drift trike” first popped up. After watching videos of people bombing hills on motorless drift trikes, I was led to multiple instructional videos on how to outfit a drift trike with a gas engine for flatland use [1].

Rehabilitative Adult Tricycle
Project Number: HXA 1503 Rehabilitative Adult Tricycle A Major Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering by Eric Correia Jaime Espinola James Gruenbaum John Papa Date: April 28, 2016 Advisors: Professor Holly Ault Professor Allen Hoffman This report represents the work of WPI undergraduate students. It has been submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. Abstract Each year, 800,000 people experience a stroke in the United States, and many develop hemiparesis, a weakness occurring on one side of the body. Exercise is proven to be helpful in recovery from stroke. The goal of this project was to develop a human-powered device that can aid in recovery from a stroke, while also serving a recreational purpose. This project resulted in the creation of a tricycle, which stores the pedaling energy of the strong leg with a spring in order to assist the weak leg in pedaling. Testing with force plates demonstrated that the force required to pedal the weak side with the highest spring constant was 49% lower than the baseline with no spring. The tricycle was a good proof of concept and with further modifications could be a viable tricycle in the future. i Acknowledgements The following people and organizations greatly assisted in the completion of this project, and we would like to thank them for their support: Scott Guzman: Scott is a WPI alumnus.
