It rotates around an axis. At the axis is a gear, which in turn is spun by another gear connected to it with a chain or belt.
It sounds like a bicycle wheel, right?
Well, it could be. Or it might be something else you've probably ridden.
I'm talking about a Ferris Wheel. The method of propulsion may be a bit different (an engine instead of a pair of legs), but the basic operating principles are more or less the same.
So, perhaps, it's not surprising that someone has created a bicycle-powered Ferris wheel:
That, at least, makes some kind of sense. But a Ferris Wheel-powered bicycle...I dunno:
Then again, one can argue that bicycles are powered by Ferris Wheels--or that Ferris Wheels are oversized bicycle wheels with people riding them.
