Dual Piston Device with Permanent Magnets

guns usually scare people. I not saying that is what happened. But they usually will scare people.

Status: All levers and bearings are installed. I have the movement I want. Now I
have to add a slider bearing to the shield. One slider bearing at the bottom is
too weak: I need a slider on top as well, so that the shield slides in between
two rails. I also made a little 'shield mount' so that I can make and test
several shield shapes and materials.

Vision: Although I'm still in the process of constructing, just to try how a
shield will perform, I'm already thinking about the DualPistonDevice MK II
In that version I want to replace most (all?) of the sliding bearing with levers
(or discs, not decided yet) with a mounted pivot point. I want to get rid of the
sliding elements but I still want to take advantage of the fact that levers can
controle the speed and the timing of the shield insertion.

Regards,
Eric.

Here is what I plan to do, to replace the sliders.
