The Propeller Trike

Damon Vander Lind, an MIT student, partnered with several of his schoolmates and created the pedal-powered propeller tricycle. The tricycle reaches 7 ft. and weighs about 1000 pounds. It made using aircraft-supply chromemoly tubing and old bike parts. The propeller was made from pink foam coated with fiberglass. Oh, and the propeller has LED lights on the blades, just for that dash of color. If you check out the video, you will the trike in action.
