The Crankabout is really The Mechalodeon 2.0, and contains many of the same animated caricature carvings which I have made. By some strange quirk of geometry, more than half of the contents of the 8 cylinder, gas pig, 70's era "Beaver" motorhome that was the Mechalodeon (As Seen on TV - San Francisco's "Bay Area Back Roads", Vancouver's "Weird Wheels" and Kansas City's "Rare Visions") are now displayed in the tiny homebuilt pedal truck, with room to spare for newly created Live 3-D Animation and Automata

Now the interactive exhibit is entirely Human Powered and may appear at venues previously inaccessible to the Mechalodeon including Green events and even indoor venues. Contact me at crankabout@ernietown.com
