Water-timer Cyclotron

Cyclotrons - everyone's making them now, to save on gold costs. However, the delay circuits cost a zillion redstone instead. Regloh figured out a way to use a dispenser as a cheap replacement for a timer. Nice! Now we just have to deal with the string shortage in our peaceful world.

Note that the time delay on the rivers could be shortened simply by putting the plate closer to the water source. Also, I could have made the first river longer (dropping a level) - the second dispenser just made testing easier.

I won't swear that the long-loop and short-loop cyclotrons in the video are truly the same in performance, just that in this configuration they seemed to be.

Texture pack is Quandary Ancient Roots, you can download it from our website.

All things Vokselian at http://vokselia.com - you can download it to try this design out: just head north and follow the rails to Hollow Mountain or keep going north still, to the Teapot.

*Update*: I just noticed that someone else did it first. Hats off to Steelfirez and Alfalis, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqSYNPH3qVk, forum thread here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/283650-powered-booster-new-station-with-minecart-stack-update/page__st__80. Well, I'm happy to have spread the word. Clever bonus idea: water is supposed to flow slower over Soul Sand (true?), so you could make the timer longer this way.
