minus-squareJustAnotherKay@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoI wonder how much of the heat coming from the treadmill is electrical and how much of it is biological
minus-squareTrex@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoI’d say that all off the yellow on the tread is friction from running on it
minus-squarestoy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoNeither is a major source of heat here, most of this is friction, the running mat drags against a static surface and with the weight of a human on it it has a LOT of friction and that generates heat.

minus-squarebdonvr@thelemmy.clublinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoProbably friction from the fact that it has to constantly slide while being pressed into the plate under the tread with the force of an adult human.

Neither. It’s friction.
