The starlings line up and enter the piston
cylinder, one at a time, attracted by their
favourite bird food. They flap around a
bit
trying to get out, causing the cylinder to
rise,
before exiting rapidly after the rising
piston
causes them to pass a gap where a
grinning
cat leers in
at them. As the cycle
continues,
fresh food is deposited, and the cylinder
admits a new starling.
No animal is injured powering the
Starling
Engine. Sorry couldn't resist. (an
allegorical agreement with The Sterling
Ideas Engine)
I'll make a
diagram some time if I can be bothered.
