Abstract: A power generating fishing reel and remote control lure system includes a reel assembly coupled to a fishing rod having a spool rotatably movable to reel in/out fishing line. The reel assembly includes an electrical generator configured to generate current. A crank handle is operatively coupled to the spool and to the generator and configured to actuate the spool and generator, respectively. A rechargeable battery is electrically connected to the generator and configured to store current generated by the generator. The system includes a lure assembly remote from the reel assembly having a battery, a motor and a receiver configured to receive a signal and to energize the motor accordingly. The reel assembly includes a lure input device and transmitter configured to transfer a user input signal to the lure assembly. The system includes an emergency assembly having lights, sensors, and alarms related to safety, current generation, and recharging.

Abstract: A heel driven pedal apparatus includes a base member and a footboard pivotally coupled to the base member. The footboard is pivotally movable between a released configuration at which the rear end is displaced from the base member and a compressed configuration at which the rear end is adjacent the base member. A spindle shaft includes a proximal end operatively coupled to the front end of the footboard with a linkage assembly, and an opposed distal end. A beater head is coupled to the distal end of the spindle shaft, the linkage assembly and the spindle shaft being configured to move the beater head toward a percussion instrument when the footboard is moved toward the compressed configuration and away from the percussion instrument when the footboard is moved toward the released configuration. The beater head is rotatable to position a desired beater head surface for contact with the percussion instrument.
