One of our stickjocks - eventually a Prince and later a Knight - made 
a powered blender by combining an electric blender with a WeedWacker. 
He made it for Royal parties, so they could have blender drinks at 
events, since nearly all ours are camping in rather undeveloped 
settings.

He called it the BoozeWacker. It was annoying under any 
circumstances, beyond annoying after 10 PM, and downright rude around 
midnight.

I don't know if this intentional one is any quieter - but if sound is 
a factor, i'd watch out.

There are hand crank ones - not cheap, but about 1/3 the price. Maybe 
they can't make a Margarita really quickly, but they'll be quieter 
and give the user some exercise :-)
