Chicken Power saves big commuting buck-buck-bucks.

September 13th, 2011 · 4 Comments

Tired of rising fuel prices and spiraling carbon emissions? You may soon be clucking your way to work, if inventor Dr. Helmut Von Hunn’s new commuting system is successful. An expert in avian locomotion physics, Von Hunn recently invited us to document the background development and launch of his new invention to inspire commuters everywhere. A word of caution: this video may forever change the way you look at commuting – and chickens.

We wish to thank producer Shelley Stevens, Director and Cinematographer Don Barnard and our talented friend Hermann Fruhm, who was the stunt double for Dr. Von Hunn. For more information on commuting options, please visit http://www.crazyzustainablecommute.org

    The science and engineering behind this was flawless. Is there a patent pending?

    I believe Dr. von Hunn is developing this product as an open-source innovation, hoping others may build upon his work. Standing on the shoulders of chickens, so to speak.
