Is that equation with two struts on each side, or one strut on one side?

I bet I have a unique circumstance that may need your assistance on what kind, length and newtons and all the other goodies explained in this video that doesn't apply to lifting a lid or hood. Maybe you could figure this one out if you have the time. Get in touch.

"...from me, from us..."👍🏻👌🏻

Well, I tried following the instructions and failed spectacularly. My hatch is 20.375" high when open. I was using a strut that is 10" fully extended, so just under 50%. Check. I positioned the strut so that the lid opens to just over 90 degrees, attaching the strut 5" up from the hinge point, just under 25% of the way up. Check. When I tried to close the lid, I get to about 45 degrees and, at that point, the strut is fully collapsed. The lid won't close any farther. Obviously, I can see the problem, but I don't know if there is a solution. The lid is around 5 lbs. I can't get a longer strut without overpowering the lid.

That's a really helpful information, can you please help me out if the door has slight bend (170degree) just below the half of its height? In that case does the calculations remains same?

Thank u for the excellent detailed tutorial. Would these same principles apply to a lid that your are opening tilting from a flat surface such as a solar panel? I mounted these to my 96"x52"' solar panel but bolted the bracket to the panel on the opposite end like in a "rollover application" (16 inches down the solar panel opposite to the hinge side) and now the panel is frozen stuck in the open titled position with zero movement....any ideas?

looks like the brickade 6x6

What an awesome vehicle!

Bottom line, how much to purchase? Build?

An amazing guy , German People so clever , im welsh hats off peter ...

What a clever man , amazing build, he picked a VW group vehicle in America dont think you can get VW based vans

Excellent. Thank you.

Where can we purchase one ? Here in US

im a carpenter for 40 years and your still teaching me 🤣🤣👍👍 love your Strauss jacket

Having the light bars seperate switches is so good!!

Does Peter have a toutibe channel? Or any social media accounts

I've been searching for the perfect video to help me choose the right gas spring for my custom Murphy bed, and this is by far the best one I've found. Even manufacturers often make it too complicated for the average person to understand. Many know how to do it, but only a few can teach it as clearly as you. You're an excellent teacher who explains everything slowly and in a way that's easy to grasp. Thank you so much for this amazing video! I I've subscribed to your channel and look forward to more great content.

I know that if we want to drive our vehicle in Other Country we need "CARNET". How much cost that he pays for Carnet.

I REALLY NEEDED THIS TUTORIAL. now comes the mission of finding that PVC frame, Thank you Sir.

Great video 👍🏻 thanks for posting this

What licence do have to have to drive on the roads?

Super good explanation, thanks!

Whats the total cost of building something like this ?

thanks😅

WOW! This guy is ready for the Zombie apocalypse. The only thing missing is the 50 Caliber Machine gun turret

hello Oscar, I am interested in your work and experience, and may I ask you if you wouldn't mind about your education? because it seems to me you have a lot of knowledge

Is it the combined Newton if two struts are fitted or does each strut have to be the full Newton? Thanks.

Why are they mounted upside down on the patio furniture box in the beginning of the video?

Your videos are great friend one day I will have my expedition truck and travel the world with my family thanks for share your knowledge 🙏🇧🇷🇧🇷

2500/3000km range🔥🔥

So something that nobody seems to address is whether and/or how gas strut strength is adjusted for single vs dual struts. For example he needed a 30N strut strength here, but is that total or per strut? I'm assuming he got TWO struts of that strength as one strut held the door fine, so when he installed both struts were they combined too much for the application? Should each strut have been 15N using dual gas struts? Or vice versa if using only one strut would you need a strut twice as strong (60N)?

Greetings from Germany. I do the same with a MB 1224 AF. Firetruck. Great work @niekerkenreise

Excellent videos Oscar. Learn something new every day. T hank you. I'm admittedly being a bit lazy here but, you provided both 'lbs and metrics' for each step... (thank you) - except for when you discussed the ratio to calculate the force needed of the strut. 1kg = 10 neuton. What would this be in lbs and lb/ft?

Great explanation and tutorial! You are an excellent teacher and keep it simple.

Thanks for the great video. If we install two struts should we divide the weight of the door by two and then select the Force for each strut ? Eg. 3kg/2=1.5kg x 10=15 Newtons

Thanx a lot gentleman ur such a great teacher, so clear

hello brother l, please can you number your videos so we can follow in series or in order.

hey bro this would have more succecfull! Thank you por four time and your experience to share wih us!

Brilliant Video! What compound did you use in between the truck chassis and the subframe? Was it a form of silicone to help with vibration and harmonic dampening? Thanks!

Really great video, kept it simple enough for the average person to select and purchase the correct strut for the job.

Wow so beautiful I really love that I really enjoyed this beautiful video thanks for sharing and thanks a lot of Peter Does pete(the owner of this wonderful vehicle have a yotube channel or instagram page? It is wonderful 💜💙💚💛🧡❤ 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Thanks a lot

I built a diy truck bed toolbox with 2 hatches on each side behind the cab. Many rivets, look like battleship hatches. But I almost went with mechanical folding hold-ups for them. Now after seeing this I will go with gas struts. Great Input and information video, Thanks a lot!

Beautiful work! I may have missed this in the video but where or how did you source the aluminum profile? Is it a custom bend to your specifications? Many thanks

I think you didn't mention how deep should be the connecting point inside the cabinet...... or is it random/hit and trial? pl help me out, it's first time I'm going to try this.

First of all thanks for all these informations. A normal human must be thousand years old to have all these knowledge. I want to ask that how did you close the space between outer frame and inmer frame? On this video the insulation between the frames is not covered yet. How did you manage that? Thank you

How much would I need for two, supporting a tabletop hinged door holding a Dewalt Compound Miter saw?

Thank you for sharing your knowledge , very helpful at this moment for me!

My trap door is 32.5 inches tall. It weighs 25 pounds. If I only want to use one, do I order two that are for 50 lbs but only use 1 to get 25 lbs?

This was helpful

Excellent work! This is what KZbin is supposed to be. Keep it up. You’re a logical good teacher.
