What's the difference between running up a hill and running up an inclined treadmill?
I want to know how a system can give so many small steps of inclination and so strong to against impact from people running. Thanks

a hydraulic piston fixed to 'mill' and base could be used to easily vary inclination. – Nic Aug 31 '12 at 15:32

A lead screw and gear box is probably cheaper and easier than hydraulics – Martin Beckett Aug 31 '12 at 16:17

I really don't understand why this mechanical mechanism question would relate to people run on a treadmill. – Marco Sep 01 '12 at 04:47

@Nic Thanks for your suggestion, but do you think a treadmill would have a hydraulic position system inside? – Marco Sep 01 '12 at 04:48

see http://www.google.com.ar/patents/US5591106 for description of one possible mechanism. – Floris Dec 13 '15 at 01:53

IMO the duplicate given has absolutely nothing to do with the question asked. It is about mechanisms for providing an incline mechanism. It might be considered an "engineering" question - but it's definitely not a duplicate of the one marked. – Floris Dec 13 '15 at 01:56
