Gorilla low pull

I suppose you could teach a gorilla to use a rowing machine. I wonder what its low pull would be.

It would help avoid boredom and under-exercising at the zoo, if the gorillas & chimps had rowing machines. They are probably really out of shape.
Concept 2, are you listening? It would be a great promotional idea to donate some to the bronx zoo.

What if you could teach one to type? Perhaps forum content would improve.... :lol:

Would the Gorilla suggest that there is such a thing as "free energy" at the start? :twisted:

The chain can handle that. But on the gorilla's first low-pull attempt, the acceleration and centrifugal force on the flywheel blades would be so great that they will break off, penetrate the cage, severely injure the gorilla, and kill a couple lemurs in the neighboring pen. Well, at least we can take comfort in the fact that Mr. Gorilla didn't twist the chain. It could've been a lot worse.
