Dave -- I agree, only I'm not even sure it would work on the track;

Coming back to the point about the chain, if you spin it really fast, shouldn't centripetal force cause it to try to form a circle, rather than a loop whose top and bottom runs are more or less parallel? In other words, wouldn't the chain be inclined to lift up when driven quickly, rather than put pressure on the pad?

If only I had the head together so I could verify this!
