Do you think this has the possibility of jamming?
I think it has the possibility of jamming at low speeds (a few feet/sec). It may have potential ludicrous belt speeds. I would be interested if anyone tries it at high speeds.

You may want to look into non-straight geometries, somethings like the attached image may work better. The Y component is exaggerated, you would probably want the width change to happen over a much longer length.
