Abstract
The present invention provides a farm animal-operated conveyor and generator apparatus and a method for powering thereof, wherein the apparatus comprises a generator, a generator drive belt, a drive roller, a conveyor belt, a drive drum, a central bearing post, a drive gear, electromagnetic yokes, an intermediate gear, a pinion gear, a beveled gear, conveyor chassis, and a secondary intermediate gear. The electromagnetic yoke automatically collars a farm animal, which in turn rotates the drive gear and drives the conveyer belt and the generator. The movement of the farm animal powers the conveyer belt for transporting farm products, and drives the generator to generate electricity.
