Self Regulated Resistance- The Theory

The WaterRower's unique patented WaterFlywheel mechanism has been designed to replicate the exact physical dynamics of rowing (see How it Works)

The resistance in rowing (Rw) is defined as the force working against the flow of the moving boat, the Fluid drag. Similarly, (Pw) may defined by the amount of power required to move the boat through the water

Thus we have;

Rw = Resistance required to move boat through the water

Pw = Power required to move boat through the water

Water resistance is dependent on:

v = Velocity at which the boat moves thru water (or water moves past the boat)

cw = coefficient of the water

A = The area of contact of the water with the boat

r  =  the density of the water

With these factors, the following principle holds:

Fw= ½ . A . cw . r . v², and

Pw= ½ . A . cw . r . v³

Put simply, to double the speed of the boat your require 8 times the intensity of exercise

The WaterRower' patented WaterFlywheel design emulates this naturally self-regulating dynamic of rowing
