The inspiration for this project came from a ToolTime episode and from these websites

  • NOV 21.... WELL... it appears that we DON'T have a centripetal Clutch. that is the next step. FIND a clutch and ADAPT our screaming machine to make it fit

  • NOV 29... CLUTCH... you don't need a clutch! 3 major manufacturers of gas powered blenders do not use clutches... "it is a technique thing" according to the makers of the blenderblaster.

  • DEC 12... HOLD ON! we are at the eve of our debut.... it will be smooth!

  • Jan 24... ALIVE after 2 weeks of rebuilding the lower housing to eliminate the leak from the crankcase and replacing the spring (both actions require a complete teardown) the class has fun delivering smoothie goodness to teachers and students during first period.

  • JAN 29... REBUILT the carb--> new needle valve, reeds, and fuel pump. easy start... tons of power... at last, the fruits of our labors taste SO SWEET
