Tall Men and Pressurized Gas Hatch Lifts 12 14 2021

 Tall Men and Pressurized Gas Hatch Lifts 12 14 2021

So bawling brat who got the engineering job somebody else should have had why didn't you think of it in the following way?

The problem with Pressurized Gas Hatch Lifts is that they do not life the hatch to a height whereby a man 6'1" is not going to bump his head on the bottom of the hatch when it was open.  The hatch being considered to be the rear door above the back bumper of an SUV or otherwise.

What happens is this.  There is only so much space that gas pressured hatch lift can fit into when fully compressed.

And here is the engineering rule I just figured out that is being applied.  The extension of the hatch can never be more than twice the length of the compressed length.  So that is the limiting factor of how far it can raise the hatch.  That and the space it has to fit in when it is fully compressed.

But just look at it and start to think.

How can that be made so that it can have an open distance greater than that?

The answer is quite simple.  Two Pressurized gas lifts welded together!  Thereby the uncompressed length can never be more than three times the compressed length.  (~)  

So that would do it.  But how come no one ever thought of it before?
