Hi. I've forgotten some of my basic physics so maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
I want to hook up my hand crank ice cream maker to a bicycle. I'm thinking I would have a total of about 5 gears so that I can spread out the work required to crank the ice cream. (I want to crank the ice cream as fast as possible even as it gets really thick). This is kind of like a pulley system It would be cool to be able to switch through the gears on a 10 speed bike too.

What do you guys think?
