To actually do it with a winch causes too many trouble (and, how, there is no human hand to help when things stuck)
By the way this actually took me a great deal of time. Was working with jet-powered centrifuge when I figured that things aren't right ...
Cool idea! This gives me a headache when I look at it too long hahaha
i can confirm, that is not a string
