It makes logical sense but...

Post by SwimmingNaked »

It seems logically impossible to have a turntable rotate a gearbox in any way that acts as a switch for the bellows, but this is what the wiki seems to suggest for an automated switch for mechanical power to bellows. Can someone tell me a way to make this work?

Thanks!

If you are trying to time the bellow simply rotate a redstone torch that powers the gearbox on/off in order to power the bellows on/off.

You can't rotate something with an axle attached to it without it breaking. The way to use turntables for alternating the power to a bellow is to have the turntable act as a redstone clock and connect it to the gearbox prior to the bellow.

There's no need for two water wheels though, you can do it with just one too
