.... go round and round

Today's handyman project
http://gfretwell.com/ftp/bow%20flex%20wheels.jpg

We seemed to be getting more exercise moving this thing than working
out on it. These wheels engage with the floor just about the time you
hit the balance point when you rock it back and you can roll it around
like a hand truck.

My next project is putting the slotted wheel emitters on the main
pulleys so it will interface with a PC through the mouse port. I
figured out the perfect slotted wheel will be old 3.5" disk platters
with 72 slots cut in them and shot black. It will be about a half hour
with a Dremel tool and then I have to extract the photo cells and LEDs
from a mouse card, mount them on a board and put this whole thing
together.
I figure you could get quite a work out just playing solitaire or
browsing the web.
If this works the way I hope, I will be looking for games you can play
with a mouse.
