Electric Strength Machine Dynamometer
A biomechanics fitness engineering concept exploring closed-loop high-torque brushless motor dynamometers, load-cell cable tension sensing, and dynamic digital resistance curves (concentric vs eccentric overload).
Digital Biomechanical Strength & Rehabilitation
- ✓Replaces heavy physical iron weights with computer-regulated electromagnetic motor resistance.
- ✓Applies eccentric overload (higher resistance during muscle lowering phase) to accelerate strength gains.
- ✓Features instant automatic safety de-load if a user suddenly struggles or drops the handle.
The Engineering Challenge
Problem / Objective
Traditional cast-iron gym weight stacks offer fixed inertia, risk dropped weight injuries, and cannot deliver eccentric-overload training.
