We call it a "Cross bow" design after one of our mentors named Cross (his idea).

1) Electromagnet below (on its own surgical tubing) is raised and is energized when it meets top plate on sling.

2) Pull down electromagnet and now sling with 2 Fisher-Price transmissions facing each other using custom built aluminum drum.

3) We are working on "bottom out" sensors.

Release and enjoy...
