Step 9 The Lever

Now you connect the lever which is the part which you actually step down on. I drilled a series of hole in one side of a skinny piece of wood, then threaded it onto the spring. Then I connected it to the axle wood with some strips of gutter pipe and some screws. It doesn't look too fancy, but it is actually pretty sturdy.

The motor only turns in one direction, when you step down, when you step up the motor doesn't move. This is done using a ratchet wheel.
