So, under the roof rack there will be two large gears with pegs sticking down that push a cog in and out (one on each side) which in turn pushes a peg on the bottom of the bar that has a wing on the front and back of it, making the four wings flap in unison. If this was too complicated, all you had to hear was "gears" and "wings," oh my! It will be cool, assuming it works. After messing with making plywood 13 inch diameter gears myself, with a compass (pictures), that did not work very wellI went to the greatest modern oracle of our time, Google, and discovered... *drum roll please* a gear template generator! Designed for wood no less! With lots of other fun projects and tidbits of info on it... much fun indeed, but now I must run to make the gears and hope they work.
Keeping it lit,

PS, In case I should ever need it again (like to make a new template, should anything happen to a gear tooth):
- Tooth Spacing: 50mm
- Contact Angle (deg): 25mm
- Shaft hole diam: 19mm
- Gear 1 teeth: 19
- Printed page width: 215.9mm
