Experiment Successful - will be implemented into a full build

Use AG1+Throttle

INITIAL OBSERVATION:
Smoke Trail Nozzles (modded item) only produce smoke when moving.

THESIS:
Rotation does not count as movement. This can be used for a system where Smoke Pods can be turned on and off on a stationary build.

EXPERIMENT:
By default, the rotator only rotates the nozzle. With THROTTLE input, a piston pushes the nozzle outwards, so that the nozzle counts as moving.

FINAL OBSERVATION:
Smoke Trail Nozzle produces smoke only when piston is activated i.e. THROTTLE input is given

ADDITIONAL EXPERIMENT:
This works with the INITIAL SPEED option on the Smoke Trail Nozzle, giving it a propelled look.
