Well yes, this is the other possibility: Instead of flowing liquid (or 
gas), use rotating beams. If the beam is being driven to rotate, that's 
1. If it's being held still, that's 0.

Only problem is... what sort of clutch do you use to enguage a gear if a 
beam is rotating above a certain speed? ._.
