Dropper Based Redstone Super Smelter (work in progress)

Short one, but its really a work in progress for an idea for using droppers to distribute items for a super smelter (as opposed to minecarts or even hoppers as seen in other designs).
Note quite finished yet, hence no tutorial or title screen for the video.
Main challenge is slowing it down to hopper speed so can hide it in with a build more easily.

Ok, those problems I talked about in the video were easier to solve than I thought they might be. Will be doing a full video on the concept soon

you may have mentioned it in another video, but what keeps this from being extended to 14 or 15?

[@elhedran]

@@alexandercarvunaris846 Redstone signal limits mostly. In the follow up video we get to 14 furnaces, but not 15 due to how that approach limits the signal length (comparitor in compare mode). 15 is theoretically possible with the right circuit, but I haven't worked that out yet. Key is reducing or varying signal reach over time, and ensuring last (furthest) point only is on for 1 or 2 ticks so the observer watching it only ticks once.
