Let's try a different drive method - not a prop. Instead, we'll have the

I've got a little car, with 6 wheels - 4 straddling the belt, 2 on the
belt.

Can I arrange a drive mechanism such that my little car can go faster
than the conveyor belt? (no engines, stored energy, etc, just simple
mechanical connections)


I'm imagining something involving planetary gears, we're getting
dangerously close to Pious territory now ...
