How to solve Propulsion in The Talos Principle 2

The Propulsion is the seventh puzzle in The Talos Principle 2's Lost Marshes area. In solving it, you will need to work with Inverters, Accumulators, Drillers, fans, and barriers.

Start the puzzle by moving past the transparent barrier to use the Driller, creating a hole in the wall. Then, remove the fan and swap it for the Hexahedron. Place the Inverter on the opposite side of the hole you just created.

Using the Accumulator, take the Inverter using the Item Swapper. Position the Accumulator on top of the Hexahedron in the first enclosure to target the blue light source.

Afterward, swap the Hexahedron for the fan, then place it in the catapult/springboard device. Pick up the Accumulator and use the fan jump pad to reach the other side.

Next, swap the Accumulator for the Inverter via the Item Swapper, put the Inverter through the Driller hole, and then pick it up from the other side.

Ride the fan spring again and place the Inverter on the topmost ledge, providing a clear line of sight to target the red receptacle with the terminal.

Finally, grab the Driller and exchange it with the Accumulator, linking the latter with the Inverter to cast a red beam.

Since the Inverter is already linked to the receptacle, it lowers the gate to the Progress Wheel.
