@jonnyTTV, ya that would be cool, or even like a deep-cycle battery attached to the flywheel\alternator\generator, that way, when you get tired, the battery powered motor takes over. Then when the battery is drained, start pedaling and that charges the battery. This guy pedaled for 3hours, which at low current, will still charge the battery a little bit. A large gear inline with a much smaller gear will make the alternator/generator spin faster I think??

I remember when this occurred. They won a cash prize that was offered. I always wondered why they didn't make a recumbent style. I guess its easy to second guess someone, since they did do it.

Its name is the Gossamer Albertross

@PhillipMcLoins -agreed-also it was quite a while ago so available materials are probably a good deal lighter now-not that i have any degrees in engineering but i was wondering if attaching high powered elastic to a fishing rod type mechanism would give the pilot a chance to store energy-if the propellor could be set to a constant speed the pilot could give it a blast at the start and then set it to the speed he wanted-might add weight though- amazing achievement and so few views
A skycycle?
