The
"bike-powered" juicing system, the Pedal - Powered Vegetable Squeezer
- the Parker Juicycle ® since 1990, from In-the-Sun Engineering - A MEANS
FOR HEALTH! - 1 good for the heart - exercise, aerobics 2 good for the heart
- beta carotene, etc 3 good for the heart - quiet (neighbors and house guests
unperterbed!) part bicycle, all JUICE-R-cycle, Dr Meir - approved! fresh juice
with little effort! It's a nut-ice or nut-butter grinder too.These pages outline
one appropriate technology design niche. Presenting the public domain release
of the Parker Pedal-Powered Vegetable Squeezing Juicycle ® homebuilt plans.
Intellectual property is protected & secured on a specific iteration of
this project. The prime directive has been to create this 'peace machine'
from common parts, using common tools.
Quiet, healthful, &
self-contained. Some will pedal the "Classic" Juicycle ® for fitness.
Some pedal-power their juice for health! "inCREDulous" one senses
once actually on this - part machine & pure functional sculpture. Fresh
homemade garden juicing - quiet, healthful, & self-contained. The Juicycle
® - The Village garden health tool, The Juicycle® 'Classic' is a sturdy,
and portable raw food processor system (utilizing a wheat-grass
juicer). You push (or cleat into) bike pedals on a semi-recumbant throne,
and the Juicycle® re-directs leg energy to the juicer - freeing your hands
to feed in FRESH vegetable produce - a blending of FRESH liquid extractions
known to aid and enhance normal human gland and brain functions. The Juicycle®
generates 1 to 10 oz/min fresh juice from an "easy" - to "hammer"
pedaling (spinning) pace. This liquid refreshment contains naturally occurring
nourishment for every body. This nutritious concentrate is usually consumed
immediately, avoiding packaging and landfill repercussions. This enables refreshment!
(With some simple garden ingredients, giggles, and *little effort*)
.
Certain common vegetable juices are free-radical nibblers (there's that anti-oxidant
theme again, hmm). Many are fundamental ingredients to 'Smart Drinks'. This
is genuine "nerve food". Initiates describe immediate and noticeable
<positive> effect (after a sip of wheat grass-celery cocktail).
Phone or email for the complete 10-page plan manual (for the Do-it-Yourselfer)
for a lifetime of fun and synergy. The turn-of-the century
hand-cranked juicer machine is often mistaken for a "meat grinder"
- a plated, cast-iron unit. The wheat-grass juicer has a spout. There usually
is no steam (i.e. 'tip me over and pour me out'). The Juicycle ® turns the
handle three or four times (normal hand-cranked rotations) faster and easier.
The Juicycle ® is a sturdy, adjustable, portable, and rugged tool-set that
will free your hands to blend together your own vibrant, healthful beverage.
Fresh juice tidbits: add a bit of fresh ginger tea, salt and ice cubes. From
In the Sun, since 1990 - a unique quiet experience for fitness and health. Fresh
juice. A natural health charge .
