It still has to be placed in the array by hand, probably requiring
some effort,
which means it may not be OU. OTOH, it does appear to pick up speed
as it goes
through successive gates, which implies that if it were circular it
would
continue to pick up speed indefinitely. Someone should set up a
cylindrical
track where it races around the walls of the cylinder.
That's what this is:
