HOLY WAY B GOLDEN

Kerbal

Please help me identify the golden geometry in EDL's machine.

The magnets used in the flywheel are very close.

The perspective of the flywheel image makes it difficult to line everything up at the same time in 2D, but you get the idea.
The spirals are not 2D.
They are anchored in multiple places around the clock, and vertically.

Imagine the crankshaft is a fountain of water.
-The column of water coming out the top is spinning the same rpms as the flywheel.
-As it spins, it moves away from the center.
-At the same time, "gravity" constantly drags it downward.
The water would be shaped like the upper hemisphere of a toroid.

Now, imagine being a magnet coming out the top of the fountain/handle.
You want to go back to the pole you just came out of.
You can only go forward.

Which path do you take to get back home?
-The MRA?
-The pointed attachment to the crankshaft?
-The 4 bolts?
-The 4-leaf clover?
-The 2 rings?
-The 8 bolts?
-The hoist?

Do the magnets leave the fountain through the top? The side?
Is the crankshaft the fountain, and the outside is the "drain"?
Is the outside the fountain, and the crankshaft the "drain"?

This path should have 3/4 steps out, a reflection, then 3/4 steps back in.
Like the Enigma machine...

Put another way, leaving Earth, I should interact with Mars, Venus, Saturn, and the Moon, turn around, then head back.
Everything was fine until I passed Saturn.
I went looking for Neptune and got turned around...
The moon was a C, on my left, but it's backwards now, and on my right.

The "reed" that makes EDL's machine sing is shaped like water ^.
Water is transparent or reflective, depending on the angle you look at it.
Water tries to be flat.
Neptune is the god of the sea.
The thin machine that sings is water.

If you sliced the flywheel in half, vertically, it would look like a trident: Ψ
Maybe it holds water...

Notice there are holes in the bottom of the machine.
The flywheel would contain a volume of water, but only while spinning...
While spinning, the water would form a vertical column.
From the side, the column would be thicker at the bottom than the top.
The outer edges would be parallel, and touch the U of every PMH.
The inside edges would not.
The inside edge of this column is inscribed, by the attachment to the crankshaft.
While spinning, excess water would drain out the holes in the bottom and/or spill up and over the 4-leaf clover on top.
Slowing down would allow more water to drain out the bottom holes.
Speeding up would allow more water to fly out the top.
The flywheel would contain a different amount of water depending on how fast it was spinning.

Any other water nearby??

The pipe next to the flywheel disappears into the ground.
Could be an antenna, of sorts, but water is a poor conductor.
It is too small for a bucket, so it must not have been for drinking.
Well, crap...
