How wuuuude! :-P I was actually taking a break from real world building. In fact, this is my first displayed CAD model in over a year. It would’ve been impossible for me to pull this thing off in 24 hours if I was making it in the brick!

Here ya go:

As for how it runs, let’s just say I really can’t tell you about how it’ll work *in practice* but I’m quite sure my theory is solid.
