ideas on 3 axle functions going though turntable?

[Anio]

Ok it works and it goes through through the turntable.

But this turntable can not turn anymore since the function are not coaxial.

Thanks for all the positive comments

??? it don't have to be..

[blueShinyApple]

Because of this, I don't think it is possible to do more than 3 without using more than 1 turntable.

yes it is:

orange areas are not needed any more

use rubberband on red

OR use piece57519 instead (takes lot more space)

as you can see it's possible to get up to 7 function through (but everything else than 3 takes TONS of space )by using the last nO two times on each side of the turntable.

I really hope there is some better way of doing this, maby similar to that turn-table-tower-way

could you please make a vid? on the pictures the concept is me to high. Or could it not rotate?

You can also make your own turnable that is (a little) bigger, so there is enough space for 3 axles.

are you able to post some better pics?

It appears I was wrong . Now I see that 7 functions are possible.

I think there is a mistake though. The 36t gear should be duplicated on each side.

oh, yeah, you're probably right

@ BlueShinyApple: At the end of your demonstration video above, you said that you could "make some instructions" on how to build it. Pretty please, would it be too much trouble to make them?

Also, can you think of a practical application for this 3-axles-through-turntable design? What kind of vehicle would it be for?

What about for a mobile crane? One for the raising of the boom, another for extending it, and the last one for the winch?

Then, why 3 (or more) functions in a turntable ?

The turntable can rotate. The 3 functions do not have to be coaxial.

That was the EXACT way I thought of using it!!

I was thinking that maybe I could mod the 8053 (When I get one ) to use this method for full RC.

hmm, I was rather thinking to make a GIGANTIC 8270(mini terrain crane), like 5 times as big! that would just be mighty!

edit: I really dont think it would fit in the 8053, but it's absolutely worth a try

Wow, that would be mighty, have fun making that!

Well, when I get one I'll take a look at it, might need some modifications though, lots of fun .

I was thinking of using the multiple turntable idea to build a solar system.

I'm doing an animation of BlueShinyApple's construction. Here is 1 frame:

And here is the ldraw file if anyone wants it:

Next I will try to animate the 4-axle version.

BTW if someone uses this, please give me some worhty credit

Here's my idea:

Technically the rope is a third function Should be good for cranes. The 3,2 mm tube can carry some torque, it depends on the gears used.

would work with low torque..

I know it would!

did'nt see that you wrote that first
