Steel plate lifter .. Cam style.
After seeing Rubicons plate lifters
I thought a cam might also work.
Top red disc is to carry tool & lift.
Lower disc is to lift tool off the sheet.
A knurled wheel surface would cure the slipping, in a real device.

- Jul 20, 2012 alfajim159: @T.D.: I've built one using Rubicon's design, the problem is the weight underneath makes it impossible to control. I'll publish it soon.
- Jul 20, 2012 conlowe1: Cool. Ur going all out with these. Hope someone can find a cool use for them.
- Jul 20, 2012 T.D.: @alfajim159: Thanks , & another cam opposite to balance might be easy.
- Jul 20, 2012 T.D.: @Rubicon: The cam is a usefull thing, you likely know more on topic than I. At different points in rotation, I imagine forces change = more & less grip. Anyways thanks:-)
- Jul 20, 2012 T.D.: @TeaC: sounds good, when can you start.:) Oh & thanks.
- Jul 20, 2012 alfajim159: @TeaC: that's a nice idea, you'd need to make it symmetrical to keep it balanced in flight. :)
- Jul 20, 2012 alfajim159: Very nice design, as Rubicon says, it reminds me of other tools that use a similar principal.
- Jul 20, 2012 Rubicon: Very nice design. This reminds me of a stud extractor which uses the same Cam concept to remove wheel studs per say.
- Jul 20, 2012 TeaC: Lovely design. What I'd like to see is a gyro flyer with this attached within a precision cave creating a Gravity Power type game. A release trigger would need to be designed.
- Jul 20, 2012 T.D.: The tool drops on easily, once started, let it drop. Release button works while under load & un-loaded.
- Jul 20, 2012 T.D.: @Nighthawk: Thanks man , good to hear from ya:•)
- Jul 20, 2012 Nighthawk: Awesome. Nic job
