Re: [DML] Adjustable Door Struts

[Gus Schlachter <gus@xxxx>]

If "adjustable" door struts are truly feasable, then the real project here would be to
have self-closing doors. The car would have a pressurized reserve tank (a la the
Bricklin) and air valves. Open the valve on the strut, and the door lowers. Then close
the value and repressurize the strut from the tank, making the door openable again.

Combine this with the remote door openers and you've got a car that can flap it's wings!
