 | | Simple locking mechanism

Hi, I have rather large 'doors' which tend to open by theirselves. I need something small (2x2x2 studs max) and simple which would lock the doors in close position. I think about usage of friction, I definitly wouldn't like something which creates (...) (20 years ago, 19-Dec-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) 21 cyles per second is good. It will go much slower with 7 more legs. Do you plan on having all the legs be self cycling? How will the legs stay coordinated? I plan on one pison for vertical, and one (maybe two) for horizontal. Do you know the (...) (20 years ago, 19-Dec-04, to lugnet.technic)

Well I have a leg design at current using 2 large cylinders that gets ~21 cycles/minute with 1 leg and a 6 way radial pump (I don't have enough pumps to fill out the full 12 way...) but it's sturdy and strong and fully self cycling...the problem is (...) (20 years ago, 18-Dec-04, to lugnet.technic)

Hi Joseph, There is not much for new news. I have done some study of "limited throw" pneumatics. One of the things that makes the larger pneumatic pistons slower than the small ones is the 6x volume difference compared to small pistons. The travel (...) (20 years ago, 18-Dec-04, to lugnet.technic)

One problem with communicating on the internet is that it is easy to take what people say out of context. No one has said anything bad about Crowkillers.

(...) That construction would be fine if the "beams" are always in compression, but because the diagonals all slope the same way in each section, it would be prone to twisting failure if you're not careful. ROSCO (20 years ago, 15-Dec-04, to lugnet.technic)
