All is 1/8"x2"x2" steel angle iron, 3/16"x2" flat stock, 3/4" exterior plywood, #40 chain and sprockets.
The video is before a few modifications. The stills, are after a few body modifications.
In a couple more months, some of the gearing modifications, solar panels, and umbrella will be re-configured.
I have decided to OPEN SOURCE this project from here, so that I might see it completed and working as designed; if not by me, someone else. As when I had money, my time was taken by other projects. Now I have more than enough time; my money is all but dried up.
At the axle end of the 4-foot long crank arms; There is a pair of 'torque multipliers', one on each crank arm. They should be 32:1 at the very least. They will be installed to increase Axle RPM, as opposed to increase axle-torque. The 4' crank arms provides the needed torque.
The axle shaft connects to the first of a series of Variable Speed Pulley Transmissions (VSP). Each pair, (#1 & #2) with (#3 & #4) etc. moving plates are welded back to back; aligned so that all belts remain straight. In this manner, all that is needed is a device to shift the very first movable plate, which, then, automatically adjusts all the others.
Such a series of VSPs will produce very high torque at slow speeds, then ranging through the gear ratios to produce a very high speed out put with reduced torque.
At the high-torque ratio, one human, on an HPV-only tow-vehicle can pull a fully loaded tractor trailer unit with little effort, so long as the tow-vehicle can withstand the weight.
Then, at the high-speed end of the ratio, at least on the flat and level road surface, on person on an HPV-only commuter-style vehicle will reach speeds over 200mph with the operator not exerting themselves.
Initially, all of this will occupy a lot of otherwise usable space, until the more compact transmission is built
