Much as I love the challenge of a good fabrication job, think I will walk
around this one as well.
TIG welder, chop saw and scrap metal stack survive yet another of my
hair-brained projects.

Hi Claudia,
You had a question on how much water would be required for a sump pump to
work. I don't remember the brand that I had but it was a small unit that I
rigged up for the pool cover. This pump would start working when the water
was 1/4 inch deep. I took a plastic paint bucket and cut a l
Agreed, time to put this thread to rest.
I did decide to not pursue trying to increase the designed incline, it is
not worth the risk of something going wrong.

OK Victor, you are correct in that the free end of the treadmill does move
in an arc, but at any point along that arc, you can describe the triangle.
Made by the three points as follows:
1: the stationary end of the treadmill.
2: the point directly below the stationary end, and at the same heigh
Hi Dan,
I beg to differ with you on there not being any arc.
Think about a treadmill.
You have two ends of a treadmill.
One that stays stationary, in other words, in one position, and the second
end, which is the end that will be moving up and down.
If you raise the one end, and keep the othe
A lot of tread mills have programmable and preset workouts for just this
reason.

And the truth of the whole matter is just getting on the darn thing and walking
will get you in better shape than doing nothing. Even if the surface is flat.
Not many tread mills are flat to begin with but if the stock setting is easy
to walk on just speed it up and see how that makes you fe
Victor, essentially, if you raise one end of the treadmill by 60 inches,
the angle between the treadmill and the vertical is zero degrees. so the
percent slope would be 60 inch rise divided by zero inch run, anything
divided by zero is infinity. So, if you raised the treadmill straight up,

Sorry, I sent before I finished my message.
To show that 14% slope is more or less low enough for the calculation to
be accurate I did the actual trig.
For a 60 inch treadmill, at a 14% slope, that is an 8 degree angle. At
that angle, the rise is 8.35 degrees, and the run is 59.4 degrees with
Dan, I didn't think it was possible for you to confuse me more, but it seems
that you have.
So was I right in my supposition of the arc?
Can you effectively raise one end of the treadmill the 60 inches and have it
hit a 90 degree angle at it's pinnacle?
I don't think so, as the one end of the
Everyone is making one simple mistake in their calculation of the percent
slope. You are using the length of the treadmill as one half of the slope
calculation. Saying that if the length of the treadmill is 60 inches,
then raising one end 60 inches gives you 100 percent slope, that is a
