[papercreters] Re: Human Powered Mike McCain Tow Mixer

Hi,

You might think its funny, but my 55 gallon drum mixer works with a 2
horsepower motor. We have the El Tour de Tucson coming up, a major
bicycle race.

This has me thinking... hmm... if a relatively fit human can generate
around 1/4 horsepower, then all I need to do is tie a small tow mixer
(geared right) to a team of eight bicyclists, get a whip, yell "mush"
and we should be well on our way toward human powered mixers.

I'll get right to work on this...

Thanks,

Vince
