Hello everyone, just sharing with you something that I saw months ago. Anyway, is there someone who tried to make one? If you have other project please share!

I don't understand it.. but it reminded me of some blue prints for a torsion catapult I once built!

I'm sure it makes a very nice lift PX!

I'm no engineer, but you'd want to make sure the member capping the top of the gas lift was pretty strong, as the proportion of the lifting arm and fulcrum point puts a large load on it.....

I wonder if the pivot point would be better at the diagonal braces?

Or you could use this from Sip for inspiration, or just buy it.
