This is my fully automated recycling Glass Factory. Essentially you put sand blocks into a chest and through a series of item droppers and hoppers, the system will run 8 ovens continuously so long as you can feed it sand and the occasional blocks of coal to run the ovens.
It’s recycling because the sand blocks get distributed faster than the machine can actually use them, so the recycling feature allow unused sand blocks to get redistributed back into the starting chest to start their journey again. The blocks flow over a set of 4 hoppers, and when the hoppers are full they flow to an exit hopper which is linked through some chests back to the original chest, beginning the loop again.
The full machine has the equivalent of perhaps 20 chests of sand in when it is completely full.Of course this beats the manual loading and unloading of ovens.

I believe you can used MCEdit to grab just the chunk that the machine is on and put it into another map. You can probably use the WorldEdit copy feature to copy it and paste it into another, smaller map file. I'm not 100% sure on that though.

Thoughts?
I'll make a video instead .. the world this is contained in is 800 Mb. Is there another way to pull out just the engine?
