help and advice needed pls

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

Perpetual motion may just be possible! I'd use grape jelly instead of butter though. The greater chance of staining increases it's chance of landing jelly side down. Should see a significant increase in torque from the jelly.

I'm starting to see a pattern here, Thanks for the input.

I'm guessing you think the rye has higher energy and a longer shelf life with less likelyhood of moulding.

I am a bit concerned that arthur (who has a taste for pizza) may try to eat the bread so any choices would have to be of one he doesn't like or perhaps have an additive to make it unpalatable to him.

Worst case scenario I guess i'll have to post a wanted to buy for a non wheat eating moggie.

AirNavy is not nearly as anti-social as he seems.

You could use Arthur's carb attraction as a kind of supercharger. Basically you will get extra horsepower as he trys to rotate his head/body around to grab the bread off of his back. You will have to figure out a way to control when he does it though or it will be random bursts of extra energy.

Perhaps Vegemite or Shrimp Cheese could help in that area.

Well to balance the cats simply glue 2 cats back 2 back. Works like a charm.

So you can make a simple motorcycle in this fasion. Glue 2 or more cats back 2 back around an axle for front and back tires on a bike. Starting the bike is much like push starting a motor bike.

I must warm you though, if the cats get pissy it can be really hard to work on the engine.
