Hell, I'd buy it just for the sound!
WHAT?
Ahhhh yeah. That's the stuff.
I once had an idea for one of these. But I had recently read about that orbital vehicle that used a jet engine twinned with a helicopter prop (to spin the chamber & provide thrust).
My concept was to gear up the bicycle chains to the motor, pedalling to spin the chamber and increase the thrust.
I didn't think it would work. I only now realise why: unless there was a clutch or something, as the motor spun up the pedals would spin like a fan and eviscerate the rider's legs. Not perfect.
This one.
