I think the key phrase is "intermittent rotary motion." The movement of the red wheel in the gif on Wikipedia is very unlike my legs powering a bicycle or a cars piston pumping up and down.
I would like to transfer the movement from the red wheel into the smooth continuous rotary movement of the green wheel.
