Looks like just a training aid - which is cool - but my guess is the additional complexity of the cranks would cause the crankset to lose stiffness and gain weight? But interesting nonetheless.
But another, lower tech and perhaps more fun way to train would be to ride fixed - without the freewheel (and with only one gear ratio) you are forced to work hard and apparently it really smooths out your cadence, which is why racers train on fixies in the winter. (I'm just getting into fixed bikes)
I'm also interested in the ovoid biopace chainrings that change mechanical advantage depending on whether the pedals are vertical or horizontal.
