Athens Horse Powered Treadmill

Athens treadmill demonstration at Horse Progress Days 2013. The treadmill not only offers great exercise for the horse, but it has many functional uses for alternative energy.
The Athens Treadmill was designed and built by Amish as a means of energy to run washing machines, grain mills, hydraulic motors, pump water, split firewood, compress air, recharge batteries and even turn a refrigeration compressor to make ice. The machines have been field tested for 12 years without incident or injury to a horse.
Ammon Weaver Jr., a machine tool builder from Liberty, KY, was present as an authority on the Athens horse treadmill because he builds them. But, more than that, Mr Weaver is an authority on using real live horsepower because an eight-horse rotary and two-horse treadmill supply energy to his shop. Not being totally reliant on horsepower, Mr Weaver rides a bicycle to work.
