Good, but where's the instructions. I know most people would know to check the hinge, but instructions would be nice. By the way, I used this in a unpublished scene to stabilize a digital readout and it worked out well, eliminating the need for a low pass filter which I had already coded.
How does it work? OK, I found out by looking at the code. Users can find out by looking at the Paracute Tutorial Scene at http://www.algodoo.com/algobox/details/17826.
If it is a lifting jack, then why does it only move sideways? If I rotate it 90 degrees, then it doesn't stand up. Please explain how this is supposed to work or how it is to be used.
Nice looking sea turtle, but the movement is all screwed up. Maybe you or somebody else can get it to swim realistically. For a nice Ocean Simulation (that only works in Phun) see:

The circles on each end have a large airFrictionMult in the script menu. There is an invisible box attached to the bottom of the oval. When the oval is tilted, the center of gravity shifts toward the higher circle and crates a larger downward force on that circle which stabilizes the oval. The function of all the stuff in the center is for indicating alignment only. As far as I can tell, there is no such thing as a Hyroscope, and this thing is not a gyroscope. I like it anyway.
