Good Morning all,
Well I'll try to keep it short, I'm a model maker and currently working on an exhibition for the science museum, the piece itself is a scaled down model of a space elevator for the atrium of the museum.
The basic principle is a loop of fishing wire with an elevator stuck on it, with one end of the wire looped around a pulley on the roof and the other end of the loop attached to a motor on the ground. Now what I need is the elevator to go up, trigger a switch which would reverse the motor and return the elevator to the ground to trigger another switch and send it back up again repeatedly.
I hope that makes some sense! I can of course clarify with drawings
So could anyone give me any advice or point me in the right direction? I know how to put together circuits and things because I do some work on films, but this is a bit beyond me.
But any help would be much appreciated!
