How about a "Monster Garage" episode to turn a Dodge 3/4 ton with Cummins
engine into a glider launch winch.

I am looking for a small group of professionals and folks with
practical experience in designing and building a glider launch winch.
My preference would be mechanical engineering types with power
transmission experience, Diesel engine/truck mechanics, Fabricators,
guys that know a thing or two about truck axles and maybe someone with
an insurance/legal background.

The purpose of putting this small team together is to come up with a
design for a safe, reliable and cost effective winch, which could be
built by a group of amateurs in the USA using commercially available
parts without a whole lot of modificatons.
There are no commercial ties to anything or anybody, nobody gets paid
and the design/ideas would be available for the asking.

So, who is up for the challenge?
