PPPM: Pedal Powered Smoothie!

The PPPM makes quick work of a mountain of smoothie ingredients (more than a liter when blended). The 500 Watt blender, powered by the 1,000 Watt inverter, drains the 58 Farad Ultracapacitor down to 11 Volts in about 5 seconds, even with help from the PPPM. The rider averages an easy 75 Watts throughout the movie. Total pedaling time needed to generate the smoothie energy – about 45 delicious seconds. A fit rider, pedaling hard, could power a smoothie cart turning out a half-liter smoothie every 30 seconds or so. Mmmmmmmmmmm.
