Could someone please upload a piston/cobble generator tutorial?

the trap part
can't you use a button instead? Then it'll self reset right? Also you can put sand on top and a pressure plate. The plate retracts the piston, which retracts a stone block, which causes the sand/gravel to fall into the lava.

more uses
in the youtube vid the piston was used as switch for redstone.

It can also be used to change minecart tracks to redirct minecarts.

Also, it can be used as a retractable bridge across lava.

It can be used to make primed tnt fall from the sky ( piston pushes tnt into the path of redstone current, gets primed and falls )

The en masse wall thing was said, but not added.

Make a hidden staircase up a straight wall ( blocks pop out of the wall in a staircase formation )
