      I feel like a contraption needs a continuously moving bit to qualify, and the distinction from a gizmo is whether it’s hand-held or not

      I think a wind surfer could put in an application to be a contraption. I feel a sailing boat is straight up a vehicle as you could live in one.

          A bicycle tows the line. I'm no expert in contraptions because my schooling and early career helped me work in the adrenochrome factory instead of for Lockheed Martin
