Abstract

The Mechanical Munchy-Maker is a mechanical bicycle that turns human leg power into mechanical rotation and generates energy to power a kitchen appliance, such as a blender. is designed to turn human leg power into mechanical rotation. As the user begins to pedal the stationary bike, the crank turns the front wheel using a chain drive. The frontwheel is in contact with a splineshaft that converts vertical circular motion into horizontal motion. The splineshaft utilizes the friction produced by the contact of the spinning wheel with the splineshaft to turn the blade on the blender. The design is capable of making various blended concoctions as desired.
