Wikipedia

  1. Treadwheel

    A treadwheel, or treadmill, is a form of engine typically powered by humans. It may resemble a water wheel in appearance, and can be worked either by a human treading paddles set into its circumference (treadmill), or by a human or animal standing inside it (treadwheel). These devices are no longer used for power or punishment, and the term "treadmill" has come to mean an exercise machine for running or walking in place.

  1. treadwheel

    A treadwheel, also known as a treadmill, is a device traditionally used for converting human physical effort into power for machines or tasks such as grinding grain, pumping water, or crushing rocks. It typically consists of a large, cylindrical wheel with steps around the outer edge, upon which a person or animal would walk or run, turning the wheel in the process. The concept has now evolved into modern treadmills used for exercise and fitness training.
