Abstract
A system and method for increasing the velocity of an animal on a mechanical device using gravity and natural animal movement. According to a preferred embodiment, there may be a frame; six wheels rotatably attached to the frame; four foot links coupled to four of the six wheels; four foot supports connected to at least one foot link; and a coupling system in rotational communication with at least one foot link to translate the stepping motion of a horse into angular momentum. The coupling system may have at least one gear connected, by a chain, to another at least one smaller sized gear to increase the velocity. Different sized gears may be used to control the speed of the vehicle.
Claims25
A horse drawn ground vehicle for carrying a passenger, said vehicle comprising:
- a frame configured to be supported on the ground by at least three wheels rotatably attached to said frame;
- at least one foot link coupled to said at least three wheels, wherein each foot link has a first end and a second end;
- at least four foot supports for receiving the hoofs of a horse in standing position, said foot supports supported by said at least one foot link;
- at least one coupling system in rotational communication with at least one said foot link to translate the stepping motion of a horse into angular momentum;
- and
- at least one seat.
A horse drawn ground vehicle for carrying a passenger, said vehicle comprising:
- a frame configured to be supported on the ground by six wheels rotatably attached to said frame;
- four foot links coupled to four of said six wheels, wherein each foot link has a first end and a second end;
- four foot supports for receiving the hoofs of a horse in standing position, said foot supporting portion supported by said at least two foot links;
- and
- two coupling systems in rotational communication with at least one said foot link to translate the stepping motion of a horse into angular momentum.
A horse drawn water vehicle for carrying a passenger, said vehicle comprising:
- a frame configured to be supported on the water with at least one water pedal rotatably attached to said frame;
- at least two foot links coupled to said at least one water pedal, wherein each foot link has a first end and a second end;
- at least four foot supports for receiving the hoofs of a horse in standing position, said foot supports supported by said at least two foot links;
- at least one coupling system in rotational communication with at least one said foot link to translate the stepping motion of a horse into angular momentum;
- and
- at least one seat.
A method of providing an efficient, motorless personal vehicle, comprising;
- providing a frame, wherein said frame is supported by at least three wheels;
- providing at least four foot supports, wherein at least one foot support is fixed communication with said foot link;
- and
- providing at least one coupling system in rotational communication with at least one said foot link to translate the stepping motion of a horse into angular momentum.
