Реферат: A treadmill power generator (10) comprises an upwardly inclined treadmill (2) having an entry end (16c) and a feed end (16b). A belt constitutes the treadmill and rotates around rollers (8,12). Side barriers (16a) prevent an animal on the belt from exiting the treadmill sideways. A releasable brake holds the belt in a fixed position. A detector (22) detects the head of an animal entering the feed end (16b) and releases the brake, whereby the animal must continue to walk in order for its head to remain at the feed end. Its walking drives the belt and rotates the roller against the resistance of a generator (50) to generate electricity, or other farm equipment mechanical or hydraulic load.
