Extinct Turnspit dog breed for turning wheels to power appliances. Apparently the breed was abandoned with the rise of "automaton roasting-jacks".

Found with some Chinese industrial GIFs. Could be a training device for racing dogs, but would not surprise me at all if this was powering machinery.

I think you'd be disappointed how much power you'd get out of that contraption. I bet it would be less than 50 watts.
Dogs were used in England to turn cooking spits. From Amusing Planet: https://www.amusingplanet.com/2020/0...spit-dogs.html
what happens when the dog stops running? does it whiz round backwards and land on it's back?
power for the home.then when the dog wont run any longer and has had all the pups possible it may just be the guest of honer at dinner...
Now wonder they are extinct they ran themselves to death
Never try to tell me it can't be done
When I have to paint I use KBS products
