More laddermill / spidermill ideas

A lot of people’s reaction to scaling TRPT is
Don’t send the torque along the axis.

Why don’t you try putting a band over the shaft and taking power from more directly underneath the rotor.
Stick a chain (curtain bead line) over the rotor and tethers then use it to drive a parallel pulley on the ground.
(kinda where my backline goes when I use one)

Well that idea may have some new support from a very unlikely backwards operation case…
Instead of driving a rope around and sending power down… These folks drive a rope up
