I saw a gif of this (possibly on reddit) and thought it was a neat idea. Rather than cogs, this uses shocks to allow the rotation of a second axle (note that the rotator on the axle with the red indicator is set to free spin). I chucked on a couple of cameras for easier viewing.

    Yeah, but if people could redesign it and use xml modding to make it smaller, it could potentially allow for engine designs that work!
