I was about to write a suggestion for how to build one, but it seems Michele hit the nail on the head perfectly.<br />
Great idea.

Maybe design large-input composter along lines of meat grinder. Safety differences: (1) bolt-on cover with grid holes to allow large pieces to fall to chopping level. (2) align chopping blades vertically--long-toothed rotary saw configuration, with opposing rotations (1st clockwise, 2nd counter-clockwise, 3rd clockwise, so forth) to claw/chew up particles. (3) put these blades on graduated placement rod, so extra blades can be grouped solidly on outer edges, and blades furthest apart for…
Maybe design large-input composter along lines of meat grinder. Safety differences: (1) bolt-on cover with grid holes to allow large pieces to fall to chopping level. (2) align chopping blades vertically--long-toothed rotary saw configuration, with opposing rotations (1st clockwise, 2nd counter-clockwise, 3rd clockwise, so forth) to claw/chew up particles. (3) put these blades on graduated placement rod, so extra blades can be grouped solidly on outer edges, and blades furthest apart for largest-sized inputs, and, as the compost is sized smaller, blades can be repositioned increasingly close together for the necessary fine-sized particles... (4) drop tube to collecting basin should be long enough that basin can be accessed and any clogs cleared without hands being near blades.<br />
Bike-powered fly-wheel connection might turn blades sufficiently; if actually using bike to generate DC, you can gear in a safety-shut-off switch...<br />
Probably you can use bike power to rotate contents of composting bins, too, if you use them--might confuse redworm residents, though<br />

I really liked the idea of using a bike!... I will look around the UK sites for a device similar to those pictured and tell you what I find as the idea is brilliant and definetly worth my time. Thanks for the spark! +1
