A quick bit of google'idge reveals that a REALLY strong person can muster approx 0.7hp. Remember the power required to turn the rotor (rotor profile power), increases exponetially as a factor of the RPM ie to double it takes 4x power, to quadruple it takes 16x power etc.

I am intrigued by your plan and wish you best of luck, but mister physics says that you do not have a chance. Sorry.
