Hmm, not such a bad suggestion, especially since I already have a particle
system which I could, with some minor modifications, adapt do be able to
handle that. I'll get started right away!

A bonus will be that the particle system can then also be used to simulate
rotating gears and other mechanical components with collision detection. It
will require quite some particles though...
