ABOUT:

In exhibit C there are a total of 7 various mechanisms some with simple and advanced examples.

In the style of Penn & Teller I've decided to invite you behind the curtain.. not to brag but to share a wealth of knowledge accumulated thus far. This will hopefully make your maps even better than before and for the portal newbies still scratching their heads thinking, "how the heck did they do that?!" this should help illuminate those possibilities a little. Not to mention it's also interesting going to a museum and viewing the machines and physics at work!

Note - if the Pulsing laser loop connected to excursion funnels causes your system to churn then you can switch it off by removing the cube.

MECHANISMS:

SWITCHES, DELAYS & PHYSICS:

• Geneosis’ light bridge slicer - a track platform breaks the beam in certain places.

RANDOMISERS, PULSES & TIMERS:

• RaVeN’s laser track timer MK2 - a reflection cube is positioned on a track platform so that it hits laser catcher(s) in the laser beams path.
• Dackie_Murphy's basketball randomiser - three spheres drop at different heights onto aerial faith plates aimed at a push button, the spheres then fall into deadly goo and auto-respawn.
• Geneosis’ rotating cubes - faith plates combined with reflection cubes can create a circle of spinning cubes. N.B. make sure the height of the arcs are all set to the minimum and you launch the cubes in one direction but then spin them in the opposite direction.
• Pulsing laser loop - loop a laser beam to create a quick pulse. This can produce interesting physics effects when combined with excursion funnels i.e. hover and glide. E.g. anti-gravity walking over deadly goo.

CONNECTIONS:

• Hidden connection lines - to do this simple surround a button with light strips e.g. the button used in Dackie_Murphy's basketball randomiser demonstration.
• 9 or more connections - (passive demonstration) make one of the connections a laser that in turn activates laser relays for the remaining connections. This is useful for using flip panels to spell words etc.
