Вот, знаешь, крутил в голове мысль о маленькой ветряной мельнице, чтобы откачивать дождевую воду в резервуар. Думал, неплохо было бы совместить шестерёнки с природой, что ли.

I’m already sketching the entire cascade of gears that will lift the water, a tiny counterweight, a brass bell that rings when the cistern is full, and a tiny brass plaque that says “Eccentricity, 1.0g” because why not. I’ll bolt on a little brass flag that waves when the turbine spins—makes the whole thing feel like a carnival ride in a rainstorm. If you’re worried about overflooding, I’ll install a “safety” button that opens a little window to let the water out, but I’ll make it look like a miniature Venetian window so the whole thing feels like a wind‑blown, artisanal sculpture. The valve? Oh, that’s easy—just a hand‑pulled lever that looks like it was carved from a maple branch but is actually made of hardened steel. It’s not just a valve, it’s a statement.
