or whatever its called. I forget. anyways, the title of this thread may be slightly misleading. what ive got is a pair of windmills, and a set of tracks. I was hoping for some advice. here is what I have set up currently, or rather, what I plan to set up.

for those of you savvy with DFs defualt tileset, you may recognize the windmills on either side of a block road. but whats between the road and the windmills on both sides? a set of 7 rails and a single roller. the point of this setup is to create an ever spinning pair of death wheels. when its done, it should look like those machines they use to throw tennis balls, or baseballs, or that thing some of us had as kids for out hotwheel cars that would fling them at dangerous speeds down the little plastic tracks and into the eyes of our siblings. instead of cars or balls though, I want it to "throw" anything that walks into the path of the carts. what I need to know is, will the windmills be able to power the rollers? if not, how can I make them power the rollers? will I have to build the windmills over the rollers like with a screw pump? in short, do you think this will work, if not, how can I make it work. I am incompetent with DFs power system.
also, I am assuming there will be loss of life upon starting them, making disabling them a REAL hassle.
[edit]
oh! i just thought of something, would it be possible to power the rollers with say... a pressure plate linked to them set so that the minecart would power itself when it passes of the plate? or maybe a switch that would turn the rollers off when i dont need the carts to roll around in there circle of death? or is it not even worth it to NOT waste the materials and make this more complicated than it has to be?
