= Vertical Power Transfer via Pistons = Basic idea came as a solution to someone's problem for compact vertical power. Proof of Concept on YouTube

Block Detector
Device used to check if the block in the 'test zone' is conductive or not.

redstone torch -> redstone wire -> 'test zone' -> repeater

Gravity (Up Only)
A stack of gravity-affected blocks on top of a regular piston facing upwards. Very top has a block-detector for output. Best use of gravel I've found yet :P

Quick to activate, but slow to reset. The taller the stack, the more time needed for everything to settle back without 'erasing' blocks.

Gravity Repeater
Extends the length past the 12 block limit of a piston.


 * GravRep Off
 * GravRep On

Solid (Up or Down)
A stack of solid blocks. Stack is pushed in direction you want power transferred and is pushed back by the receiving end at a delay.

Quick to turn on and off, but tends to get stuck if set to too short a delay or triggering side stays active too long. Additional bonus is power can be checked midway without need of extra circuitry besides a block detector, just use a non-conducting block in the stack where you check.

Bi-directional Bi-stable
Two stacks, need not be in direct parallel, that when one stack is 'on' the other turns 'off'. This will allow it to be activated from either top or bottom.
