Ok, so i have this weird and crazy idea for a circular saw powered bike. Its mostly inspired by this vid i saw on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4UjiER8Owg
But anyway, i was thinking of using an 18v cordless circular saw, taking off the blade, then mounting a sprocket where the blade once went. in reality i have no idea if the cordless circular saw will have enough power to move the bike, even with the proper gear ratio. The saw i have is 12 amps, 120 watts, and spins at about 3600 rpm. Think it could ever power a bike?
Also, i have the idea of using an angle grinder or something similiar to one to power the bike. They spin at about 11,000 rpm and are about 7.5amps. so i figure it might be an alternative to the circular saw
We'll tell me what u think, if it has no chance of working just say so, or if u have any other comments feel free. Thanks in advance!
