This is my new foot powered music instrument for Fossil Fool performances. My hope is that I will always perform with it. It should also be light enough to walk around a festival and participate in jam sessions or do a street performance. It’s no heavier than an acoustic guitar in a hard case.The shape is hollow and contains a 10″ dual voice coil subwoofer and a matching 200w amplifier.It has a telescoping handle that will support various music making circuit boards like a delay pedal and a beat machine.
The power source for all of this is Stomp Power. The performer stomps a lever that yanks a cable around a speed-increasing pulley and dumps the energy into a flywheel, which quickly accelerates to 3000 rpm. The flywheel mounted to the shaft of a permanent magnet generator, the same one originally used in the Choprical Fish Soul Cycle.
