The prototype has actually been taken apart and the hydraulic cylinders will be used to make a see-saw for my daughter.<br />I'll be working on developing PVC only hydraulic cylinders and will try to minimize the leaking. <br />If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at migpics@gmail.com.<br />Thanks<br />Miguel<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103027534098714974-6398370004186967698?l=liftassist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mexican Vikingnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103027534098714974.post-27714394015075956852009-08-24T17:07:00.001-07:002009-08-24T17:07:15.689-07:00<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103027534098714974-2771439401507595685?l=liftassist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mexican Vikingnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103027534098714974.post-67614124763942392302008-05-05T17:20:00.000-07:002008-05-05T17:52:01.214-07:00<p><object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-d2a0c4528285ee5f" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v22.nonxt8.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Dd2a0c4528285ee5f%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1329920414%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D7DC9F0B9756B02C365803BBFE3B40121A024448.10583F19E98EB3831A7728F0EED87794339B8EAA%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dd2a0c4528285ee5f%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D1W10GjJqcDTp5-21ctA2xaOE3ew&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v22.nonxt8.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Dd2a0c4528285ee5f%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1329920414%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D7DC9F0B9756B02C365803BBFE3B40121A024448.10583F19E98EB3831A7728F0EED87794339B8EAA%26key%3Dck1&iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dd2a0c4528285ee5f%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D1W10GjJqcDTp5-21ctA2xaOE3ew&autoplay=0&ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /></object></p><p><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Young volunteers at MAKER FAIRE 2008</span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103027534098714974-6761412476394239230?l=liftassist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mexican Vikingnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103027534098714974.post-69422460334662155122008-03-19T23:13:00.001-07:002008-04-29T22:04:10.354-07:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SLub8XnzBZo/R-IBuCXJDFI/AAAAAAAAACA/qZL98VpYBao/s1600-h/Standing_Points.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179704411849034834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SLub8XnzBZo/R-IBuCXJDFI/AAAAAAAAACA/qZL98VpYBao/s320/Standing_Points.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SLub8XnzBZo/R-IBdiXJDEI/AAAAAAAAAB4/3c-yvtEAC9c/s1600-h/prototype.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179704128381193282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SLub8XnzBZo/R-IBdiXJDEI/AAAAAAAAAB4/3c-yvtEAC9c/s320/prototype.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Hi, I'm Miguel and here's a photo of my lift assist.<br />It's a home made (senior project) device that helps people off the toilet.<br />It works off the water pressure and is rather rudimentary but it's a first step.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;">I designed the lift assist as a senior thesis at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;">The lift assist will be on display at the 2008 Maker Faire for anyone to try it out.</span></div><div> </div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5103027534098714974-6942246033466215512?l=liftassist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mexican Vikingnoreply@blogger.com4
