ABSTRACT:
A pedal powered potter's wheel is composed of a wheelhead, upon which the potter shapes his pots, mounted upon the upper end of a vertical driveshaft, which is bolted to a horizontal hollow rubber wheel partially filled with water to function as a flywheel. The flywheel is turned counterclockwise by a bicycle wheel vertically pressed down against its outer upper rubber surface at a 90.degree. angle. The bicycle wheel is spun by two chains on two sprockets bolted to each end of the horizontal power transfer shaft. The potter sits before the wheelhead while pushing two pedals welded to a sprocket directly below him which drives a chain turning the nearest sprocket of the power transfer shaft.
