I found some interesting info recently on alternate sustainable power devices.

I am planning to build a conversion for the TL using the 'cat and buttered bread Infinite power engine"

the engine uses the contrary principles of cats always falling on their feet and bread always falling butter side down.

put simply a piece of buttered bread is glued to the back of a cat and the pair dropped form a safe height .

as the cat and bread approach the ground the contrary forces of each item try to establish their correct position. the cat struggles to place its feet down and the bread strugggles to rotate the cat so it can land butter down.

A simple pulley and belt arrangement transfers this frantic rotational force and it is fed to a suitable transmission.

So far no information is available as to specific power output but those of you who know me would be aware of my pet called arthur a 6.5 kilo desexed tom cat who is pure muscle. obviously balancing the size of bread and butter to offset the strength of the cat is an important consideration. as one overpowering the other would result in the bike stalling .

If you would like to contibute to this project your thoughts and technical input would be greatly appreciated.

cheers stu
