It's a start

I think it's a good basic premise. It is certainly not new--I've seen similar ideas in science magazines 10-15 years ago. It is certainly not perfected.

Looking at the video the crank seems to be set up for one speed only--not very efficient. As far as speed, the only way you are going to see sustained 40 mph is if you get a half dozen wold class athletes to draft together.
