In the olden days, fairs in India used to have something like this. Plumber Paul Cesewski just stumbled upon this idea now. It is a mobile, human-powered ferris wheel. He took all of three months to design and three months welding at night after work and his nearly 2000-pound, 22-foot-tall Star Wheel is as a pedal-powered, interactive sculpture. Each of the three chairs located within the larger, 20-spoke wheel is equipped with a seatbelt and a bicycle drivetrain. What you do is as you pedal, you pull the chair around a fixed sprocket which means more people, more fun. When he first made a Ferris wheel, there were only two seats and no outer wheel and so they couldn\u2019t move around, but stay stationary. But then in 2004 he got grant from Burning Man and made it like a moving wheel.  It is so much fun to go around in this huge wheel \u2013 you don\u2019t need cars anymore! And he says \u201cI would love to take it through a city or ride it in a parade\u2026but the biggest problem is the power lines.\u201d How nice!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/2abOQp4WNvo&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xcfcfcf&#038;hl=en&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><\/object><br \/>\nThe Ferris wheel costs $7000.<br \/>\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.origin.popularmechanics.com\/home_journal\/workshop\/4329758.html\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">PopularMechanics<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is so much fun!
