FInally got it.. one piston too gates! :) i'm def happy and now you know it! :)

videos are in order from v1.0 to v4.0 for propper presentation of the project

pls. credit (just a little) if u use some of this in your own projects or got some pointers.
Not that om coppywriting anything but i spent a lot of hours putting all this together and it would make me proud :)

well... back to business.

project is including:


v1.0

the happy clapper dual piston concept

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.0

functional dual gates.. (2 gates 1 rotor) (REPLACED)

and!!! snake eyes!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.1

waving (Danish)flag

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.2:

The dual gate sysetem has been upgraded and replaced with a more usable system..

no longer can you run around the gate. and the entire piston setup has been hidden under the floor.

this system is best usable in stations as it still takes up a lot of space. (not in vid)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.0.

Entire new structure and vid..

new initial rotor concept - greatly inspired by BAL

link: http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=248574263

also includes:

the tunnel of light.

v4.0

1. video presentation.

2. introducing the ship to base - gate control system.
no grav gen needed (will be otimised for small ships)

the gate system is designed for instant opening(fastest gate i've seen around so far) and with a delay on closing..

3. replacing the happy clapper with Rpbbert the (not so) happy clapping robot


as always thx for your time and i hope you will enjoy

Ok cool just wanted to know what it can practically be used for. But like I said, I think its awesome and I totally love mechanical contraptions like this

@statix33

It doesn't have to be directly below like that. On the ship I am making in survival (with friends since otherwise it will take months) I am going to have a system like that open the hangar doors on either side, but the mechanism is actually underneath the hangar floor with the arms that actually move the doors running under the floor to the doors themselves. It will work well with the maintenance access passages I am running throught the ship.

@statix33..

firstly thank you :) much apriciated

2nd. its up to you to put the actual piston setup somewhere else.. which is very easy.. if you take a closer look you see its not that big at all. that's what i tried to illustrate by putting an extra gate on the top of the hangar. im not going to build it for you ;)

though i would love to try and implement it all on a base or ship to come with a few sugestions.

also.. if at any point it is possible to do this with small landing gear.. its still the same setup ;)
