Engine for making Ice Cream

[rbyrer]

I would like to build a hit miss engine to crank an ice cream freezer. Does anyone out there know if there are any models that would have enough HP to do this.

I have a friend who uses a wood-fired boiler to run a steam engine to make ice cream

Think of the conflicting somewhat oxymoronic logic: WOOD BURNING STEAM ENGINE to make ICE CREAM?!??!?!?.

Looks like it could be done with 1.5 hp. (5-gallon ice cream freezer).
