Recently, we experienced one of the most pivotal events of our inventing experience! We hooked up a bicycle to the soybean thresher we received from Michigan State University, to test if it was in fact feasible for a thresher to be human-powered and pedal-operated.
Some of the team members attaching the bicycle to the MSU thresher.
We put some of our able-bodied men to the test with our new thresher - and they powered it with ease! In fact, the thresher actually worked more efficiently than it previously had.
We affirmed that it is both feasible and efficient to manually pedal-operate a sorghum and millet thresher.
