- Tread Power, circa 1890 - As farmers mechanized barn and farmyard work, they began to use stationary power sources. Some invested in animal treadmills, which used the same "endless belt" concept as modern exercise treadmills to convert animals' movement into power for a range of agricultural machinery. Dogs, goats, or sheep walked on the circular platform of this "turntable" version, patented in 1882, to power a butter churn.
