Dear Aklego, your Machine is highly interessting, congratulations!

I tried to build one by myself and the early design looks like yours, later i decided it would be more failsafe to use Wheels with 3 holes each instead of a vertical bar.

I used the german "Fischer Technik"-Set which faild me(no gears with grips or holes), i think ill try it again in lego.
