Primary Run



So there is the final gear-box assembly with the prop.  I haven't got the crank assembly done quite yet (I did, but it failed on me in the test), but a bit of welding will have it done shortly.  Also, that is a stand-in flywheel pinned to the center shaft.  The real flywheel will be bigger and heavier.

What do you think of that?

  1. looks pretty cool, I'm interested to see how it will handle in the water....can you post a close up picture of the prop?

  2. The prop body is featured on the post "Did you hear that?"

    I have decided not to post anything of the final drawings or images of how it works since it is a patentable feature. I will feature the prop again when the blades are done, and once more in a video of how it functions when I am pedaling it. Stay tuned.
