Interesting idea BGRing!
You won't be forgotten when I beat Jiff to the Nobel prize.
The 'Cat 2' version would double the howl problem, however. Meanwhile your 'two toast' version offers significant weight saving potential, I'm sure. Though we'd still need a trigger to initiate rotation. Do you think a thin film of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" on one of the slices would induce sufficient potential difference to achieve engine start?
Meanwhile...I am perturbed that my ideas are so popular they are already being ripped off, complete with force diagram, here...

Watch out Jiff. There's no containing brilliance in this world. And the truth will always out.
