foot powered? Amazing.
Years ago, I saw in the old Arts and Industries Smithsonian museum (which has since been converted into a crappy interactive museum with lights and buzzers for kids) a human powered table saw. It was the same size and shape as a regular table saw, but had a heavy flywheel and a hand crank on either side. Two people would crank the thing while one person operated the saw. It actually looked like it would work really well.
