Accordingly, we are considering a proposal to the government agency responsible for friction & traction (State? Transportation? HHS?) to study this issue for 3 years and write long technical papers. Does anyone else want to jump on the bandwagon?
To the Directorate of the FCTC ....

Dear Sirs/Madams/Persons of non-specific gender;

We would be most happy to assist you in feeding at the Federal trough. At this time I can not specify the particular area of research wherein we can be the most useful in the extracation of $$s. While the task of writing a long technical paper on the lack of traction while on ice is so appealing as to be self-evident, so are other possible avenues of research in the various human factors presented by the HPS concept. For example, is it more efficient to use chain or belt drive ? What, indeed should any, gearing be used ? What is the maximum velocity that can be expected from the HPS, laden or unladen ? Should the HPS be equipped with safety belts or air bags ? Should usage be restricted to those under the "Baby Boomer" ages per the recent CPSC report ? Perhaps we should meet to discuss the possibilities and perhaps the inclusion of yet unspecified persons to further assist in the squandering of the taxpayer's $$s. Feel free to email us in this regard at your earliest convience.
