What would you change? I honestly don't see much that I would bother changing from those short clips.
The sawing mechanism is similar to the dutch system used in windmills. But still a good use of a resource.
With a few modern tweeks in regards design and materials i can see this tyoe of technology being used in sustainable off grid communities.

Probably the intakes, water catchment systems. Maybe look at the saw blades.
But too be honest, your right. I Probably wouldn't change a thing either.
