From the video
Answers: How do you build a mechanical vault door for an underground tunnel?
- Mechanical vault door construction
- Gear mechanism design
- Metal fabrication and welding
- Lathe and CNC plasma cutting
What it concludes
- The Wazer waterjet cutter produces sharper and better-defined teeth on custom gears than plasma or laser cutting, despite taking longer.
- Using a wooden template before cutting large sheet metal prevents costly material waste.
- A motorized gear mechanism with brass pins and spring-loaded contacts successfully operates the vault door's locking and lighting systems.
