Hi Geoff,
I was thinking hard on this problem for a long time now. I
have only one addition for your theory: the cat and the
toast (of course with the butter) must be equal in weight.
Otherwise the engine would run unevenly, or what is even
worst, will stall and the heavier part will reach the
ground.
I have no test results (our toaster is out of order.).
Best wishes for Your future experiment:
