Indeed, although the power requirement goes up as the time goes down. Also the mechanical stress on the rails and their mount.

All solvable with a little engineering...

Yes, and though silent (mostly) still reading so don't stop posting.

I also am still reading and enjoying the story.

Maybe all the tech discussion could move to another thread?
