hahah some silly person came up with a bike powered mixer 9
years ago. I still have the drawing.. it was posted on the Organic
Architecture list I think--
this was a total joke of course and leg power could not translate to a
full chopping machine. mixing ...well maybe, but not with human
power.
It was like those pedal powered Video machine Players, TVs, and wash
machines.. to make electricity to power the motor. ( they have this up
at HSU campus in the Appropriate technology house called CCAT
Nobody there wants to pedal to watch TV, and clothes washing by leg
power was way too hard.. easier to wash by hand.,. but they tried at
least! and they do and teach a lot of very cool classes on all sorts
of natural build, homesteading, organic foods, etc.
a simple wringer washer machine cannot chop or shred paper, just
m,ix the pre shredded stuff ( or my sawdust mixes-- it does that
beautiful!)
so please NOBODY please do not waste time designing such a bike/mixer
it was designed and failed, it just could not give the ?oomph"
needed.
( now you naysayers with too much time on your hands.. before you yell
at me for being agqaint invention---.. go BUILD one, then I will
humbly apologise-- but not until a working model is proven. no
notepad engineers-- real hardware that works...)
