Neatorama reader Richard Joslin suggested this photo of a blender powered by a V8 engine (?), built by Jim Mason:
HOLY COW!!!! The gas-powered flame-throwing margarita mixer that puts the one you posted earlier look like NOTHIN!!!
I've seen it in action - it runs on an electric motor that actually moves the pistons up and down in normal fashion at very high speed - a tank of propane supplies the flames. There is also a stick shifter to control speeds in typical 4-speed auto configuration.

To update, holy carp! this guy is awesome! I've seen his other work in person, and the pictures don't do it justice. You owe it to yourself to go to his site and see the rest of his artistic madness.
