Cart-based power-to-signal converter (cross-section)

.
^
r

Where ▲ is E/W (N/S) track ramp
^ is a pressure plate,
r is a roller (highest speed)
. is E/W (N/S) track

Power feeds in beside the roller on the lower level. Rollers can not be powered from above.

A cart is fed into the system with a little push from the upper-level track. Ramps hold it in place over the roller. When powered, cart travels rapidly back and forth over pressure plate, maintaining 'on' state. This can then be used to power doors, bridges, etc.

where P is power source a are each gear assemblies arrows represent rollers and direction of force ^ represents a pressure plate.

Be careful priming this machine. I'm not entirely sure, but I doubt it should be loaded in the active state.
