PORTAL with hydraulic opening

[JCV]

Hello,

for opinions, observations, remarks,

what do you think of a hydraulically opening gate, the counterweight of which opens with a hydraulic supply simply controlled by one or two controlled valves (depending on the variants), water from the "retention" tank C can also, in part, go back into tank A, with a "Heron's Fountain" style assembly.

Good evening jcv

It can work but it is much simpler and safer.

Imagine a breeze on the top of the barrier and Hop a little blow on the roof of the car or the head.

Get a car window lift motor, it will be much simpler.

In winter you will have interest to put antifreeze ... Otherwise your gate will not be able to open ...
An electric motor with a small solar panel and a battery will be safer ...

Hello Alain and Océano,

Thank you for your opinions,

- concerning the gale, a priori if it is a "heavy" barrier, this will have no impact,

- Regarding the car window regulator, it is indeed to be seen, but we have to check what force can it develop?

- ok seen for antifreeze!

- 12 volt electric motor + solar panel + battery, actually it's good but unfortunately it's a significant investment and the location where the gate is can easily be stolen, so it's sensitive,

- you have to find the most simple and rustic way to open and close one or two hydraulic valves remotely (depending on variant), maybe: solenoid valve powered by a pulse by remote control?
