Abstract
A reverse horse cart having a treadmill allowing an animal to walk thereon to generate power to run a vehicle. A horse is used as a source of power for a vehicle wherein the horse (or other animal) also rides on the vehicle. To collect energy from the horse in an efficient and ethical matter, the horse will walk on a treadmill causing the belt to rotate a shaft that connects to a flywheel which is communication with a generator. The generator then connects to a tray of capacitors to store the energy. After the energy is stored, the capacitors send the energy to electrical regulators, which pass the electricity to four motors that control each wheel. The motion of the wheels is controlled by a motion logic controller.
