ANT+ Trainer Power transmitter?

UPDATE: Didn't take long for the proof of concept video located on the post here
I was just reading DCrainmaker’s latest post on the a new silent trainer here, the Elite Turbo Muin. A lot of the feedback from people has been asking if the App does power why couldn’t they build in power transmission via a sensor!
Seriously!
Here is how I can do this, and I’ve thought about doing it.
  1. Get the regression curve
    1. Make it yourself with a real powermeter (Powertap, Quarq, SRM) with the LINEST feature in Excel for a 3rd or 4th order polynomial.
    2. Use the CSV file from the App and regress the curve yourself
  2. Using the reference code from Nordic Semiconductor in the SDK you setup a speed measurement with a reed switch / magnetic sensor and measure rotational speed.
    1. Two lines of code
      1. Calculate power based on speed
      2. Update ANT+ transmission
I can literally whip this together in a couple of evenings. If you think this is a good idea (for any trainer, not just this one) please write me at kwakeham@gmail.com. Maybe I would get my foot wet with Kickstarter for a multipurpose version first before doing a full blown powermeter.
