Except for the first image of completed machine, all of the odd parts sticking
out are due to not having orders there at the time of the picture. They where
used so that construction could continue. As in the pictures is two solar cells
and capacitors which can be used to drive the machine as well. I might in the
future add a mount for them to the bottom of each tower, but I could not find
a location that I liked for them on the towers nor the main support beam.
