The blue ball is a gear actually, with 2 racks on both its side which are attached to 2 masses each (M1 = M2).
If momentum is made to gain in the arrangement from the side M2...it will also impart momentum to M1.
Suppose all this happens in a body to which the whole arrangement is attached.
And this motion is stopped by colliding M1 to this body itself.
Will this body gain momentum (if its light)?
